I heard there were a few new Bay projects heading to BC? Looks like Bruce aka Notchback may have something on the go? anyone else?

Here's a shot of my 72 crossover Riviera

I wish they were webbers.
TIN 40 zeniths is what they are. I just took it on a 1400km road trip 2 weeks ago and it kicked ass.

71 Westy (formerly Krautbucket's). Plan to sort it out and use it for camping. No plans yet to make it really nice. I do hope to keep this one for a while. I quite like it.

I am a little ignorant on this, but what makes it a deluxe.
Trim package?
It is a nice looking ride.

I am in the process of installing a 1974 Westfalia P27 interior into a 1979 Bus less the pop up roof. 

I found this bus on Vancouver Island in the early spring.  It had some engine issues, but it was virtually rust free, having spent most of its life in the San Jose California area, and had a dealer install a/c unit.  Here we are at the ferry terminal at Swartz Bay on the ride home.

 

Having resolved most of the mechanical issues - oil cooler replacement, fuel/vacuum/gas tank hoses and seals etc. and getting it through AirCare, I set out looking for a doner camper interior.

I subsequently found one in Maple Ridge at the Reydaville bus farm- a 74 Westfalia with a P27 interior with a working fridge and stove.   

I decided to remove the spare tire from the rear to the front bumper.



After cleaning and painting the rear floor area I installed a 12mm plywood floor and tan carpet.  The various pieces of cabinetry went in without difficulty as you can see.  I did remove the water tank and turned the sink around so it is now close to the window.  This should provide a little more interior storage.

       

Found some front seats from a Vanagon.  These will get recovered at some point in the same material as the rear.  The upper bunk material is like new and should be suitable.



I still have plenty of work to do, including plumbing, electrical, propane tank and hoses, water tank under the floor, curtains, rear headbanger closet, jalousie windows and BN4 gas heater.  The roof and window areas also need to be repainted in the correct Mexico Beige.

In the meantime it's a driver and when the weather cooperates I can get a bit more done.  FYI.

Would this one be off your 74 as well?  Don't know if could be shipped if there was any residual gas in it.  I do have one but would like to get an optical scope to have a look inside it.  It has sat a long time.

By the way I did get the gas heater working that you sent me.  Have to paint it yet and install it.  Got all the related pieces from steveo_32.  Don't know whether I'll install it now or in the spring.  Guess it all depends on how cold it gets and how desperate I get for heat.  The air heater works as well as it ever did, I think.  Having all the cabinets in the van means there is less area to heat.

Yes it is off my 74.
Im glad you got the BN4 going.
The tank is just sitting here so if you come over or you know some one heading your way from the island let me know and you can have the tank.

Please hold on to the tank.  We should be over there in the not too distant future.  Could have been this week but I got out voted and we went to the outlet malls down south.
