….here is my 1978 tin top bay for sale its a 2.0L FI injection engine that pulls the van along very well ,starts evry time and so far never let me down ,i bought this van at the start of the year after it was imported by another person ,i have since redone the brakes ,fuel lines ,balljoints,track rods,throttle cable ,fuel pump ,drive shafts ,electrics ,new tyres,lights you name it it s had to be sorted to get it running and a moted ,i got it reg,ed for the uk so all that side of things is done ,i also fitted a brand new empi quiet pack exhaust that looked nice and shinny for about 50 miles then the paint burned of it and it now looks brown ,not what i expected . the body is straight bar a few dents on the nose and bumpers , it is 99percent rot free with only surface rust on the roof and pillers ,the doors, arches,sills outrigers etc are PREFECT .this van will not need to see a welder for many years ., it looks near new underneath .the outside paint work is ok its not show winning but its defo not the worst that i have seen . inside it has porsche seats fitted up front and a rockn roll bed in the back ,and a table its basic but thats how i wanted it …also in this van the heating does work and there is a good stream of hot air coming into the cab .also its had new window rubbers and rear tints on the windows , the bus drives really well on the road it will happy sit at 55-65mph and i have even managed a few overtakes in it ….rare eh lol,i use this bay everyday on the school run ,shopping ,dump run and it never lets me down it really is a great reliable van that wont need much done to it over the next few years ,just jump in and enjoy ,all it really needs are the door ,and rear hatch seals doing as they have seen better days but still work fine ,if your looking for a rot free van then this defo needs to be on your list to look at . there is loads more but thats enough info this now ,if ya want anymore pm me and i will sort it out .i will take any photo of it that u would like as i have nothing to hide on it ……….,remember this is NOT a project bus its mot,ed taxed and running well with all the hard work down …………….. i took my van into my work and got it up on the ramp for some pics underneath as that is what everone wants to see on these bays and i dont think it will disapoint ,it looks amost new underneath even the mechanical parts look spot on ,i looked at a few bays before i bought this one and to be honest i bought it of the pics the guy sent me ,it was a project van not running and needing complete going over of everything ,so i donr the following 1.new disc ,pads seal kit s in calipers new flexi brake hoses front wheel bearings balljoints trackrods new headlights repairs to heater cables ,tubes ,exchangers porcshe learher seats fitted up front new window seals and windoe tints new door locks and handles new cv boots x4 new fuel lines (all) new fuel pump and filter rear brakes where cleaned adjusted , new rear lights ,complete , new side marker lights new engine bay seel new fuel ecu relay (mega ££££) new 3 point seat belts (all round ) new mirors new steering bearing and bushes plugs ,oil ,filter ,rot arm and cap new engine mounts the engine was removed and stripped to the block as it had a few oil leaks,i suspect the engine had either been rebuilt of was a recon and the pistons and the bores where in very good clean condition (still very silver looking ) you could even still see the hone marks on the bores ,………..i can never prove this but when i bought the van i was more than prepaired to replace the engine or rebbuild it and was very surprized at the condition of it …and i think that shows when you drive it as it will pull the van along very well and will sit happy at 65mph which is fast enough for me . inside i put in a very simple interia as i wanted to use the van for the last few weeks of summer ,it has new foam ,JK campers rocknroll hinges fitted to a wood base bed ,a new table and a buddy seat ,its simple but that how i wanted it ,my plan was to get a proper interia for it …like a westy one from a show or the internet as nothing fits better than the proper stuff . the van started as a 1978 mirobus 2.0 L fuel injection engine the FI they call it ,from the sunny state of california ,when i got it it still had the seats in the back ,that was all stripped out and the cargo floor was cleaned and it was prefect no rust ,in fact i never had to put a welder near it which was a surprise . the body would need a paint theres no point in lying about it ,(still looks ok at a distance but up close it would need a tidy ,defo not the worst but )the nose has some dents in it and filler (not because of rust holes just dents ) and the rear drivers corner has had a dent knocked out and filled (done well but i know its there )the rest of the van is great with rust free doors ,rear engine hatch ,rear boot door ,and slideing door all prefect and rust free ,the roof has surface rust all over but its not bad at all looks far worse than it is ,i am maybe trying to undersell it but i would rather make it sound worse than it that way u wouldnt be disapointed ,. there is prob lots more but that s all i can think of this now ,in a nut shell its a very solid bay ,that has not been mucked about and hacked with it runs and drives well ,mot,ed taxed just ready forsomeone to but there mark on it ,i would take a P/X of a cheap transit (2k max )……07919033783 scott more photos can be found here ….http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t207/scottrs1/vw%20bay%20detail%20pics/
