ok! that takes care of the day i got her! whew...lol. i've had her about a month now. cleaned it all out. couldn't find a yellow bucket.....lololol!

the P.O. replaced the fuel lines and has rebuilt the motor. I've never met a nicer guy! he wouldn't let me take possession of it until he fixed everything he could, so i would have a great 1st experience with my 1st bus.

i do plan to keep this as original as possible. and have a few questions i am searching out right now and we'll see how it goes!

You definitely got the better end of that deal! Where's Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds?

Welcome, and really nice Bus!
I think the brochure fo 78' referred to that paint as "Not that awful green color" Laughing

p.s. Look out for that hippy in the closet.
