Knowing the two Sea Blue buses before, and seeing them now, well, it's tragic.

and if I had sold them to those butchers, I sure wouldn't brag about it on the internet.

it makes me sick that I sold one of those buses to a flipper who sold it to them. I thought that he had respect for original paint, but apparently not.

What's the story on these pacifico buses- did this guy buy up restored buses as a starting point? Are there any other photos around of the rest of them in the 'before' state?

after seeing what they did to these buses, I will never drink pacifico beer, and I will encourage everyone I know not to drink pacifico.

Lind like you have never sold a bus to someone ?? you flipped it to me without anywork and made a profit!!I would hardly call myself a flipper , I get more buses one the road in a year than most people . I have noticed plenty of buses posted by you this year for sale , selling one gets you into the next one ..I cant keep them all . And the amount of work i did to that bus i bought from you i earned every penny of it , A flip is a simple buy and sell trans action , not a months worth of hard work ..

that bus lasted for 42 years in original paint. I thought I was selling it to someone who would do it good. you sold it to someone who destroyed it. I hope it was worth it to you. I sure have an empty feeling in my stomach, and I seriously doubt I will ever sell you a bus again. you might consider thinking about the good of the buses before the good of your wallet. you had a buyer in the UK that had respect for the original paint on that bus, but you knew you could get more out of pacifico......

Yes what is the story?

Did Pacifico sponsor this? Was it their money that used to paint these buses? I don't know the story so please fill me in. If not why boycott the beer? I do not like the buses either. It would be like boycotting UPS for what someone else put on a slammed bus. Rolling Eyes

pacifico spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fuck up these buses.

nobody i know has more love for getting buses back on the road than Craig.he has restored and gotten more busses back on the road in the last year than most would in a lifetime,so before you go and drop a friend over some paint on a car you might think about what an asset he is to the vw world not to mention the next time you need to flip a bus he may open his wallet and help you out

I like seeing what Craig brings to the community and know that he's put together piles of original paint busses. Sometimes you can afford to be choosy on the buyer and other times you can't. I personally would have been willing to take less money from someone who appreciated that bus as-is, but I'm not knocking someone else who wasn't worried about it.
