Did you see the mouse jump out around the right side passenger seat around the 14:41, 42, 43 mark? 😂 Great bus! Its going to look great once its buffed! Happy belated birthday.
After Those Last Few Cheez Graters ------------- This Looks Like Quite The Score ------------ Shag Wagon Canidate ------------ And A Free Boat ( Bonus ! ) Oh Happy Birthday -.
A complete, solid, running, driving riviera camper bus for 4500 is awesome! I had a 71 and 78 that I sold in 2002 that I've regretted ever since!! They weren't worth shit back then tho. ✌️from Ohio
That bus has LOTS of potential. And the 2 litre fuel injected type 4 buses were certainly the best performers of all the bay window models. You two need to read the Bentley fuel injection section of the manual on troubleshooting. As others have said, the fuel pump will not run with the key on and engine NOT cranking. Most issues with the fuel injection are vacuum leak related as you have discovered. And make sure those points are perfect of course... The "B" light is dual purpose on '79's. Indicates either of problem with the hydraulic pressure in the brake system (if on all the time), or simply that your park brake is on. I have a '74 Riviera with a later fuel injected 2 litre and six rib trans. And the interior was upgraded to all Westfalia parts. So it is called my "Restfalia", and I will never part with it! Westfalia quality was far better than the cheapo materials that Riviera used, although the Riviera stuff was kind of neat. Once you get that bay window dialed in, you will realize just how bad splits are to drive (but they sure look cool...)
thank you Volktales, I'm sitting here reading up on the double relay and Fi system now. It won't cold start without starting fluid....I agree , seeing Rob's Westy cabinets and plaid interior had me in envy but i've been cleaning this Riv up and I'll make it my own . thank you for the comment .
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and *I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!* ❤️
Same here waking up every 14th of each month to 210,000 dollars it's a blessing to l and my family... I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to Maria Frances Hanlon
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Happy birthday... Congrats on Gina. She's a cool old camper. It runs decent and the blue paint will look really good after you get it all shined up, even with her flaws.
Happy Birthday! A Bus is an awesome gift for yourself! Excellent Bus. Excellent price. You did extremely well. If I was buying, I'd say $7500 would be great. If I was selling, it would be cheap. I sold my '78 Westy a couple of years ago. I miss driving it. Can't wait to see it cleaned up and buffed out. I hope you fall in love with it and keep it. 😂
The Riviera is my very favorite Bay Window poptop roof design, but the interior quality is not up to the level of a Westfalia. I had a '74 Riv in the 1990s. I gutted the interior, removed the passenger side bulkhead, and welded in a Westy swivel seat base. I saved the rear seat hardware, repurposed the Norcold fridge for the basement workshop, and made a new interior at my friend's cabinet shop and the upholstery shop where I worked at the time. That blue looks excellent.
Happy Birthday Jayson! That was a easy one compared to your usual rescues ( 15 window) !!! She's a sweet bus, I cant believe she ran without replacing anything! Im still driving my 80 Vanagon i bought new, the older buses have more character ill give you that, but I still get a wave or a beep every time I drive her! Hope you had a great birthday with the family!
Dear 5150mxVW Jay. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, a running and driving camper bus for 4.500 bucks!? That's what I call a great purchase (even more because it's blue so that Jen might like it too). Congratulations! 🎉 Absolutely no way that a 1970's VW bus like this would be so cheap over here in Germany. 2) Vdub looks quite manly meanwhile. I very well remember him appearing on your channel for the first time. Time really flies, sigh. 3) I'm eagerly looking forward to watch what Jen and Josh think about your newest purchase. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved.
Finally got yourself a decent bus,in my opinion one of the better ones I have seen on your channel, welcome to the làte bay club Jay, and my opinion the type 4 engine is the best they made. Looking forward to some camping video's with Dubworks , these are also the perfect picknik wagon.
Had a '71 Baywindow for $100. Put a 1600 dp in it without a mustache bar and drove it to Colorado from Louisiana. Got back to Louisiana and put a master cylinder and a better clutch in it and that bus rocked till 1988. Sold the motor out of it for $500 and got $100 for the carcass. One day I'll have another. LOL Not likely. Great video. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy Birthday! First drive was short but it sounded good! Second drive made the pavement! Love the rock walls and the fall colors. We still have a few leaves left on the trees in upstate NY
@ I’m sure we’ll have a good time this weekend as always. I remember you telling me about the racing you did down here. Would be cool for you to see the place full of VW’s instead of motor cross bikes.
Happy Birthday! The camper is a nice gift! We had a nice ‘72 Westphalia in the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s. We sold it to help buy our first house. Wish we still had it! Enjoy!
Happy birthday
Can’t believe it! Jay bought a running van, with floor pans. 👍😎 Happy Birthday buddy!
Very disappointed getting to be a slacker in lold age. Ha ha😅😅😅😅
yes! I must say it sure was odd driving something haha.... thank you Bill
Who else saw the mouse 🐁 abandon ship at 14:41????? 😊
Slo-mo, it's a bird.🐦😮
@@Ht1976. Would not have seen it if you didn't point it out so funny LOL. When he jumped in there to turn it over out came the mouse 🐀🐁🐀 LOL
Apparently the other guy says it's a bird 🐦 still funny that you noticed that or he noticed it 🤣😆
Yeah I saw something small bail
Good deal, value is in the experience. My wife's 79 had plenty of power too, It is a Porsche 914 at heart after all.
Happy Birthday
Thank you Johnathon
Did you see the mouse jump out around the right side passenger seat around the 14:41, 42, 43 mark? 😂
Great bus! Its going to look great once its buffed! Happy belated birthday.

"When things are like- connected!" I come for the entertainment and stay for the wisdom! Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday Jason and on the bright side of things if Jen gets upset at the purchase at least you gotta place to crash LOL
Best wishes,bus looks mint,mintier than previous models to be sure.
Thank you , much mintier than most haha
Jay you finally scored a great looking bus/camper And Happy Birthday.

Happy Bday, and congrats on the bus !

Happy birthday from Argentina, I want to see more about the orange fifteen windows you recover in the woods a couple of weeks ago

Happy Birthday Jay , great video 😊
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and *I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!* ❤️
Hello how do you make such?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
Same here

Maria Frances Hanlon
I do know Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon, I also have even become successful....
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon.
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states
also paid for my son's surgery
(Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.

Hi Paul , will do . Thinking the tires and rims , new lenses and the buff . I’ll update the mechanicals probably at the end of some vids as well
I think you got a good deal and it has very little rust. It will clean up very well but I would put some paint on the front. Happy Birthday Jason. 👍👍

The unconditional bonus boat spirit was strong with this one. Happy Birthday!
YaH da DUBB is back
Happy Birthday! A Bus is an awesome gift for yourself! Excellent Bus. Excellent price. You did extremely well. If I was buying, I'd say $7500 would be great. If I was selling, it would be cheap. I sold my '78 Westy a couple of years ago. I miss driving it. Can't wait to see it cleaned up and buffed out. I hope you fall in love with it and keep it. 😂
Happy Birthday!! What A Cool Rig, Cant Wait To See What’s Next..
Happy birthday boy's. The bay window bus is a lot better than the 15 window junk bus.
Happy Birthday 🎉what a beautiful drive! Gina’s a keeper😊

A blue running camper. Approved. Bonus, unconditional boat to store for free, forever.
