My Bay - Barry - 04-07-2022 I will start off with a big thanks to John @JHB88 I bought his bay in September last year but it has been a slow process in getting this registered. No dramas - my mechanic believed me when I said “I’m not in a hurry” Anyway- it’s done now and I have been cruising. A bit of work was done - brakes, exhaust, fuel pump, CV’s, hoses, gear box bushes and coupling blah blah This is a very original and complete baby if honest condition. I will slowly work my way through so I understand what’s what and fix and adjust. But as you can see, full original seats, un torn head lining, dicky seat for the front, pristine spare wheel cover and on and on. There is adjustment left in the steering box and it drives well. Yes - it’s not a T3, but is one of the best bays that I have driven. Best of all there is bugger all rust to be found A few more Oh.............. before @David H asks - the compliance plate is 04/1976 Oh.............. before @David H asks - the compliance plate is 04/1976 more pics and "no" - it's not going to get painted and "no" - it's not going to get painted RE: My Bay - Oldman - 05-07-2022 Thanks for bringing this across Barry…. Nice ride RE: My Bay - Barry - 05-07-2022 A couple of how clean the gutters are and $150 well spent RE: My Bay - Barry - 05-07-2022 Ok - the purge has been completed. The last of the maroon was scraped of my bay and it’s true colour installed. Befittingly the last Qld rego that was on was a 2014 and it was red/maroon and the repo 1977 one I had made up was blue. Reckon it looks heaps better already testing RE: My Bay - Barry - 14-07-2022 OK - trying to rebuild all this. The steering wheel had a rebuild with Q Bond. Basically metal filing and super glue Couple of pics from before A couple of pics after Q Bond And a couple of pics after a lick of paint And back on the bus Actually - I am just trying to work out this inserting pics "insert into post" bit RE: My Bay - Oldman - 14-07-2022 You’re nailing it Barry…. RE: My Bay - Grantus - 14-07-2022 Looking good Barry! What type of paint did you use, to adhere well enough to a steering wheel, and not wear off with use?

PR RE: My Bay - DavidH - 14-07-2022 'Insert' seems to give best & real size view :-). Cheers RE: My Bay - Wombatventures - 14-07-2022 Going well Barry. I'm looking forward to the bit where you polished it but by mistake polished ours instead! |
