'70 Bay Bus Restoration.

Post by yohbie »

As most of you know I recently got myself a Bay Bus to restore:

So I started work on my bus. Its going to be a long journey but one that will surely be worth every effort. So glad I found a Lowlight in this condition, very little rust. :D

Removed the front radiator this weekend. New panel to be fitted visible in the bottom left corner. (Thanks to Bugger for my nose panel) :hangloose:

Also took out the old 2.5L Chevrolet engine and gear box.

All seats and interior panels removed for storage.

Empty engine bay, waiting for my new 2.0L motor and gearbox to be fitted.

Hi everyone. So I had some free time today so I started cleaning all my interior panels. They look really good after a good wash. :hangloose:
