I wonder if the old Ghostwagens sticker is still on it? I gave that to Bill about 10 years ago. The Melvan looks great!

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon.

I have seen pics of that bus everywhere on this site! Is there a thread for it? I would LOVE to see the ins and outs of such an awsome bus!



I never met Bill or his wife, Janet, as I live in ontario, canada... but it is sad when vw folks pass on. I know, vw or not, people passing is sad, but true vw folks are a rare breed!

Rest in peace Bill, and my condolences to you Janet.
