1977 VW Bay window Kombi / Camper.

I recently rescued this bus from long term (25 years) storage in a barn.

Imported by its German owner at the end of the 90's and stored in a barn on land he bought while he was preparing to build a house. The bus ended up being used to store his possessions while the house was to be built. There it stayed full of suitcases for 25 years.

We dragged it out into the light again in April.

The bus is running and driving. We drained the fuel tank and put in fresh fuel, fitted new fuel lines, new battery, cleaned out carb and fitted new points, condenser, and plugs. That done it started up and ran. The Alternator charges and oil pressure seems ok. See video of it running.

Electrically most things are working. wipers, headlights, reversing lights etc.

Its a restoration project so does need some work. Welding will be needed to lower body. Sills, arches, outriggers etc. I have lots of pics. The chassis is good, front panel good, solid gutters etc.

Gearbox seems good although we've only driven it around the yard but selects gears and moves around fine.

The brakes do work and do stop the bus. That said they will need a thorough going through due to the length of time its been in storage.

To be clear. this is a resto project. You cant drive it home and you wont be using it as a daily driver next week.

Good project that is complete and starts and drives.

Over 100 pics and several videos can be viewed here:
