Howdy Dubbers,
I'm lacking time/motivation to do anything else with this one so before I sell it for too much on Ebay I thought I would give you all first dibs. The Bus cost me $1500 + another $300 for the gates, would like to at least get this back for it.
This is not a project for the faint of heart, there is a LOT of rust, needs floor, Passenger side Sills etc etc etc. Surprisingly the front cab area is pretty good, gutters etc all good. I have taken the tray off (A LOT OF WORK) and removed the bulkhead from the tray. There is a lot of welding and fabrication that needs to be done to get a new tray back on there. I was thinking of replacing the rusted tray rails with RHS or similar and creating a new Steel checker plate tray with engine hatch, there was a nice SC in AVW this issue that has the look. Gates are in good nick but require resto.
Mechanically the bus goes and stops. I think it has a 2l motor and box but need to confirm this.... Has a Fat Steering wheel !!! Also has ALL seats etc.
Would make a great project for someone especially if your handy with a welder.
You will need a car trailer to take it home but you can drive it onto and off of it !!!
Located Arana Hills. Please email scooterluvsbeer@gmail.com or send a PM Feel free to come over for a looksie, I dont bite.
$1800 FIRM
Will consider Trade Part trade for Type IV BUS go fast bits or a registerable (within reason) 1600 Beetle. Also into pushbikes/computer's so try me for trades.....
[PICS] these are when it arrived home. Theres more holes in it now ! (Grinder holes not rust holes that is !)
