Im picking this up tomorrow!! Ill need a transmission to start with but other then that its complete. I'll have one corner to repair. Sandblast that surface rust. Filler primer sand and paint. Should be alot less nerve wrecking then my split. Im pretty stoked it'll be my first westy ghey window bus! Kids are gonna dig it!!

Well i paid for it today. Picked this gem up for a whopping $550 WITH title. Originally there was no title, but i called the previous owner and he had it noterized and ready to go. He was an older man and just forgot to call and let the people who bought it that he had it. Hence why i only paid $550 for it
as it also panned out this older guy has stock pile of old vw's and lives on a dirt road up in the hills. Im hoping when i get there tomorow that there may be some other busses available. Maybe even a new split
keep ya posted.

I did. I didn't really want to but it wasnt finished and i was pressured to get it outta the shop i was in. There will be another one someday. Preferably one with less rust lol.
