Old School T1.5 Brazillian Bay 1980 Aircooled

So here is my Brazillian Bay bus, It's the early type and the first type of bay built in Brazil, The rear looks a lot like a Splitty but has some differences, The windows and side doors are about the only part that is exactly like the split bus, the bus was built in 1980 and shipped to New Zealand as a new vehicle, i brought it early 2011 and have started the refurbishment. It has the older aircooled motor which is the same as the 1968 bus motor, 1600 Twinport, Rear end and front (running gear) is the same as the early bay and runs the wide 5 stud pattern, Well that's a bit of an intro and here's some pics of the bus.


Motor

Trans Cradle

Reasonably solid floor, Anyone know what the brackets are for???



Back end

Motor pulled

And this is the part i enjoy the most, when the new bits start turning up in the post, This is the first 2 weeks of smaller deliveries and lots lots more to come


Still to come:
Full set of door rubber seals
All Window Seals
Pistons and Barrels
Gearbox seal kit plus a few bearings once i work out what i need
New Heads
New Exhaust
Tyres
New Hubcaps
Seat upholstery kit
Door panels
lots of small rubber bits and anything that's work

And a heap more as i can afford them.

Mate this looks good, I love it when the postie arrives, nice to have the old pre injection unit, the bits are a bit more expensive on that good luck and I'm looking forward to the updates

exciting times! keep up the good work as im sure ill learn somthing on the way too!
