Title: Early Bay -71 Post by: Todi on July 23, 2010, 08:51:40 am I must start to say that this is Alex "Jesus" fault that I have got in to these cars and no longer bugs. So thanks for that Alex >:( ;)
So this is my project for the winter. I must say the bus is better then it looks... I have no guideline yet how it will look in the spring, so if you have some good ideas please share with me. One big question I have right know is for the side door as you can see on the pic. Is this original or not. If not them have done a hell of a good work i must say! Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: Jon on July 23, 2010, 08:56:57 am That's a custom job, never seen anything like that before. ;)

Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: Todi on July 23, 2010, 17:01:56 pm For the moment I think I will have the car as it is, just lower it and have fun... If I will find the charge problem to the battery, perhaps I will come to SCC in it....

I've never seen door's like that, do you know where the bus was manufactured, oddities like that tend to come from Brazil or South Africa, The people over on http://forum.earlybay.com/index.php are very friendly and knowledgeable! Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: speedwell on July 27, 2010, 17:40:27 pm doors look like split bus one
Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: Todi on August 12, 2010, 21:37:25 pm So, the buss is ready for SCC

It had a very cool air-conditioning unit fitted down through the center of the roof too , with 23 window samba style rear door and curverd glass and small split style windows down the sides . A king and link front beam with a mix of reduction box and IRS rear end . It looked very odd with a bay widow front end and cab doors . Wish I had some pics of it :-[ the bus was so far gone , i think he broke it , may still be there . Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: Jon on August 12, 2010, 23:50:49 pm Looking forward to checking it out Todi! Have a good road trip! :)

Ultimate off road :) Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: Todi on August 13, 2010, 06:14:14 am Wish I had some pics of it :-[ the bus was so far gone , i think he broke it , may still be there .

Title: Re: Early Bay -71 Post by: roland on August 13, 2010, 11:14:58 am looks very much like a bay crew cab door to me, with the vent window..
