It's got 2 spots that need attention as far as rust goes, the tranny is missing first gear, the motor is locked up, and the brakes don't work, aside from that it is complete, solid, and zero molestation.

The plan is as of right now (and I am super wishy washy) is to get the motor and trans sorted, do a once over on the brakes, put some meaty tires like EV's duplicab, Boz bumper, and get the needed sheetmetal from Gerson. This is going to be my camping/bug-out rig, since it is so complete and solid I may even keep the carby and dizzy :redguy:

Nice looking Bay :thumbs: It's so nice to start with an unmolested rig. Gerson's sheetmetal is a real time/expense saver.

I agree Scotty, I learned my lesson on the notch. Compared to that this will be stroll through the park.
