need bay nose clip

« on: April 30, 2007, 09:51:19 AM »
i need a late bay nose clip for my 78 westy. i have quite a bit of rot under the windshield. it also had repairs made to the nose back in 1979 and a couple other dings here and there... i could possibly deal with just the peice under the window, but seems like it would be a lot of extra work.

i also need the front floor pan... but need to replace the nose first and don't want the aftermarket nose with the raised area for the vw logo in the middle.

Call Herb Keedy. He has some bus parts listed on Samba.

If he hasn't already sold it, Herb had a nearly perfect cab from a late bay window.  It was stripped of all parts and cut off just behind the front doors.  The floor had 0 rust and the green paint (yes, this was at one time a green Westy) on the floor looked like it was sprayed yesterday.  It is missing the doors . . . seems Homer the Superbus really liked them . . .   :lol:

i had heard he sold it, but i sent him an email cause the ad was still up. no response yet... wish someone would have told me a long time ago... i've needed this since i got the bus and that was EXACTLY what i needed :?

so if you know of any others... let me know... i need the nose and the front pans.

I got impatient cause i really wanted the nose clip... so i called herb... he said he hadnt gotten my email (probably eaten by the spam gods) but he still has it! so now i need to convince someone with a truck to go out there and get it for me :) but that really made my day as my bus deperately needs new floors and in order to replace the floors i need the 1 inch gap under the windshield gone.

anyone that has ridden in the bus knows i have GREAT floor vents! :lol: Actually I also need new doglegs... they also rusted out from the leak...


so what would be the best way to go about replacing all this stuff? just cut off the front end and weld the new one on? it seems a little silly to cut each individual piece off... i mean really the only thing i dont need is the roof...
