Title: Early Bay Transporter
Post by: Thomas on February 06, 2011, 11:35:55 AM

I'm looking at Early Bay Transporter for sale next weekend and I would like to have a heads up on what to look for on these as far as problem areas. Any info on this would be great. Thanks Thomas

On most Bay windows it's all the same rust areas, lower windsheild area, Front driver and pass floor area, inner splash area (behind front wheels) battery tray, sliding door track and always chech out riggers, jack points and in very rust buses the frame in front of the torsion housing.

If it's a 1970 the fuse boxes are bad, they tend to weaken over time and crumble.

What year and model are you looking at?
