73 Campmobile in Nanaimo

[azevrec]

Hello all, I found this bus under a tree in Nanaimo for $500. Sitting for 10 years in the same spot. I put new fuel lines, did an oil change, changed all the ignition stuff and she fired right up.

Here it is as I found it. 













Then the clean up started. 




New roof seals.

That was 3 years ago, I've done lots of camping and minor tune up stuff and wiring repair. I'm an automotive mechanic with 9years of experience but I work on brand new direct injection stuff and they don't teach you any carburetor, points, or manual adjustment stuff in school anymore. So this has been a learning process from me for sure. But I'm loving it... And hating it. Then loving it again.

Looks like a decent bus. Somewhat simpler then direct injection as well. Although the old type IV engine in your bus was more reliable than those crappy FSI VW engines like the one I have spread all over the place at the moment... I did convert my own '74 bus to the later '70's factory fuel injection and electronic ignition. I would recommend this to everyone...
