Baywindow spares

Post by sean »

Picked up this 72 lowlight baywindow for spares, I have taken some of the spares off I need but lots of other usable spares are still usable. Send me message or contact me on 082 537 6194 if interested in any part off it, I will let you know if it is there or in usable condition. All the body panels are unfortunately rotten. Front bumper is still good though.

It was from a children's play school, it was full of sand and plastic toys. It was a bit of a mission to get it out from where it was, the two back wheels were seized and it had been completely fenced in. Proved tricky to maneuver out of their without damaging the rest of the children's playground. After taking it home I decided to look underneath and noticed that the rear wheels were not actually seized, the previous owner had tied the handbrake cables up with wire, was pretty upset as if I had just checked when there it would have made loading it a lot easier. Just had assumed after it had been standing outside for so long their was a high possibility they would be seized.

I also have parts off this bus for spares. Nose of the bus is for jolas, the rest is still available. Perhaps suspension, rims?
It had a microbus 2.0L engine it, any one interested in the microbus parts, alternator, tinware, coolimg and heating ducts etc?

This bus was relatively good for the front half, but the back half is rotten. Apparently it's previous owner used to launch his boat in the ocean with it. Seems true as it is really rotten at the back. I also have no idea why the roof was cut off but I had to take it loose with the bus. I really do find it sad when a car has been treated so badly, hopefully all the useful spares off these two buses can be used else ware.

Hi,

As we are just starting our project, there is tons of stuff we need. Off the top of my head, off the 72 sand box - Front indicators, front seats, any engine tin - any switches, knobs, levers ... off the dash, any chance of a glove box? Do you have a list of what you don't need?

There are two seats but they are not the correct ones from a baywindow.

There is still the dashboard switches - Headlights, hazards,wipers switch.

There are indicator lenses but all are quite damaged/cracked.

Don't have a glove box but do have a glove box lid. There is still the instrument cluster. None of the levers are there.

Other usable parts I can think of:

1. Front suspension with disk brakes and booster.
2. Front bumper
3. Windows for front doors and rear sliding ones
4. Window winder mechanisms
5. Gear linkage
6. Door panels
7. 2 x rear bench seats
8. 4 x vw steel rims with tyres
9. 4 x smiths white steel rims with tyres

I didnt take much off these buses, so anything else you can spot just ask if it it is still there.

Does the front spare wheel mount fit to the bumper? If so I'll be keen for that! :D

A 72 towbar will not bolt up to a 68-71 bus.

Thought the same once I checked the pictures again. Would be interested in the front tyre mount though

OK - I will be in Cape Town around 14th Dec. Very interested in Dash, switches... Door panels, Indicators (for the bases at least)
How about the electric loom? I will give you a ring

The front tyre mount is still available. It is fixed to the bumper as well as the nose.

The tow bar can not be used as it's brackets are almost completely rusted off.

No problem

The loom I still have, and is in untampered condition.
