picked up a 36HP motor and rebuilt it and resealed it. Had to replace the P&C's in it. Started replacing all the metal lines for the brakes and rounded up more parts. This project is moving along OK. Big thanks to the Samba Members messaging me with parts.

Almost at the 30 day mark of owning this bus and it is coming along. Picked up the wheels from powder coating and the tires are now on. The brake system is all new front to rear down to the metal lines, it is registered and now in my name. Still waiting for some parts to come around plus many other things as well. Here is the new pics of the front.

Well after some long days and nights was able to take this to OCTO and drive it around. Meet some great people and welcomed by so many Barndoor owners.
Still lots to do but it's now a driver once again
