Did some general cleaning to the outside of the MAngo today while the engine is out. came out good with the CLR treatment.
here is a quick glimpse. other pics can be found in my profile or the Mango Mafia thread in the split bus forums

It's ALIVE!!! With help of friends Danny and his son Daniel, the Mango is back but this time with a borrowed engine until mine gets a rebuild. I hope to have it at Flanders in a few weeks for this:

obus Tue Mar 16, 2010 6:48 pm

it worked !!! :lol:

obus Sat Aug 21, 2010 5:44 pm

it's back!!!!! small nut to large nut trans swap,new headliner, some new window rubbers, and some electrical glitches fixed.

obus Sun Aug 22, 2010 7:05 am

as luck would have it, i pulled the bus out this A.M. and it had rained earlier but was now just cloudy. I get the old rear seat back out and go to swap the new one in and it starts to rain hard enough to piss me off. To top it off the humidity is ridiculous and my glasses were sliding off my head. I now remember why i stopped wearing f#!&*# glasses except to wear them before and after contact lenses. Didn't have enough time to take pics of the headliner due to the damn rain!! Anyway, the seat back is in and i am happily now sitting on here surfing The Samba!


EverettB Sun Aug 22, 2010 10:22 am

Cool, I look forward to the headliner pics

obus Sun Aug 22, 2010 11:57 am

yeah it was the wolfsburg west headliner that came with the bus from when Michael owned it. It was installed by one of 2 VW buddies who are brothers. He is pretty meticulous when it comes to those details. He admitted that the toughest part was around the rear dome light where there are a few wrinkles but i still think it looks tons better than a rusty inner roof!




obus Sat Aug 28, 2010 8:36 pm

it is suggested by some that i need to have some sort of Exorcism done on this bus!!!


brettsvw Mon Aug 30, 2010 10:39 am

Looks like a Exorcism is being done by the shadow at bottom if pic. :twisted:
