Bumper differences  |
i should be straight with you guys, I don't think my rear bumper is original 1972 - i had to drill new holes for it to line up to the bracket locations  i think it ws an earlier bumper as the existing holes where closer together...
but to be honest, other that my bumper having "extra bolts", i still dont see the difference!?  are the wrap around corners longer?
and ah yes, i see the engine hatch difference. iiiinnnteresting

Never did mind the random assortment of early/late parts and the no hatch deal. A Lowlight with a motor upgrade! |

Then
Now
Some less than obvious items in there was a new motor and carbs, new front seat upholstery, door and kick panels, wood floor, house battery and lighting, new canvas on the upper fold out cot and pop top tent, 2nd jalousie window, new curtains, icebox, repainted pop top, new wheel cylinders
...etc etc.
Original delivery was in Madrid, spent its time between Acapulco, Texas, Arizona, and Eastern Oregon.
