That's a really cute picture of Rudy bus! He's much cuter in real life, tho! _________________ Beware of Drive-By Bayonetteings!!

The plans for the Bus are to eventually do a complete restoration but for right now it is driving it as is. I am a vintage restorer type, so he is 6 volt and will stay that way, leaving the 1200cc sp in him, All i need to do is clean the motor up, rebuild the brakes and clean the conectors and grounds, and install a 6v am/fm blaupunkt that i am getting for him, he is a New Mexico bus, so he has very little bus, very clean and straight. And i am not going to paint him, i love driving worked in busses, and plus if your bus doesn't look perfect and very worn in, people will not mess with them
