It looks good. I'll enjoy watching this get back on the road while I collect parts for my 68s and my parents drive the others.

Thanks Nick! I plan on keeping it a driver for the most part while going through and setting it up as a weekender. I forgot to post the pic! I did buy new tires around August

I did buy the general grabbers because i plan on camping and don't want to worry about wet grass or something stupid. Also, my beetle is lowered so it will be nice to drive something and not worry about every little bump in the road.

Sorry I'm just getting back. Ed I remember. I know we talked about it in vermilion already but I remembered the other day I was all hung over when you were talking to me that day and it was raining.
And thanks busjunky. I love the way out looks and people ask me all the time what color im going to paint it and such. I just tell them NEVER! LOL I love the tires too. I need to take care of my saggy butt though and it will look a little better. I could really use an inside slider handle if you had one for sale. I've slept in the bus a few times now and have to open the door from the front door. Oh well at least I'm camping!

I most likely have a inner handle that you can have. You may need to index your spring plates to get the rear suspension back up. Nobody likes a saggy bottom lol.
