Z Hinges - backseat to bed conversion kit

June. 19, 2010


Just found some hard to find Z Hinges  (by Z Products)
Which are used to convert the Rear seat into a bed - Very Cool!

(Here are some of the original instructions)




I found a set on thesamba.com -
Before:



Cleaned, rust removed, painted and installed:
(I had to make some simple brackets for the top seat - as these parts where missing in the parts)





Flat:  







They work very well - the only issue is you will need to add some kind of padding for sleeping!
Happy Camping!

Bug Run 2010

I went to the Bug Run 2010 in Woodburn, Oregon - Great Fun!



Splash pan and POR15 front underside

May 29, 2010

I found the Bus was missing the front splash pan, and with this being the North West - I thought I'd try and keep the front as dry as possible.


I found a splash pan from 'Interstate Used Parts & Core Co'
Great service - check them out if you need parts!


I cleaned and repainted the splash pan:
(before)




(after)







Then I cleaned and POR15 the front underside (see the before and after pictures - side by side):




Wow - that took longer then I thought -but I'm happy with how it turned out.
All set for the rain!
