I ran out of time before moving overseas. I guess primer will have to do for now.

A little elbow grease, new tires and a can of white spraypaint for the wheels is all it took to bring this back from a rat bus. Some help from www.surf-bus.com provided missing chrome trim and this sweet roof rack. (thanks Barry)

One cool looking engine lid. to bad i will have to weld some metal in behind the vents. but we all know hot exhuast doesn't help the carb. anyway, the vents will stay as a interesting conversation peice as the PO had put serious time in cutting out the vents themselves.

After hearing my husband talk to 4 am last night about working on my Bus, he started to tell me about the intersting things that have been done to the Bus from the PO that I just hadn't payed close enough attention to, or didn't know enough to notice it (my bad, but I am trying to learn). But, in this picture you can see that all the side flashers are gone and holes covered and primered. Also, the reverse lights have been removed and covered over. Everyone last night was making remarks about it and that they thought it was cool.

I did learn last night that my Bus is a true sunroof or possible rag as on the bottom of my Bus there are belly pans.

The goal of tonite was to get my engine and tranny into my bus....

After getting the engine and trany back in my bus everybody really realized just how low my bus was and there was some discussion that i may be scrapping everytime i just try to back out of my parking space. I took this photo to show how low I could go. But I have to say one more thanks to the guys and hope my cooking keeps you wanting to come back for more.

My engine and tranny are bolted up, but it will be tomorrow like I said before all the wires and hoses are all connected and they can trouble shoot it.

If you look really hard between Scott's and Mark's Bus you can see my Bus... Must make mental note to self to take off the big IN TOW shoe polish. don't think that will help me any to win the Uncle Jerry Jess Award.

The goal of tonite was to get my engine and tranny into my bus. Here are pictures along the way as they put the motor back in. I will try to add a interesting footnote about what was going on in each picture. In this picturemy husband took a picture of - Left to right: Mark, Ron, and Mike. As they told interesting VW stories and talked about other busses owned in current and past lives.

The goal of tonite was to watch my husband and his friends put my engine and tranny back into my bus so I can drive my own bus somewhere, anywhere, just as long as I am driving it. Seeing my engine under bus and in the engine compartment was a beautifl sight, even though it was on jack stands... Gotta start somewhere, right ? a bunch of GREAT GUYS (Mark, Ron, Kevin, and Truckersonspeed Mike) came out to help. my deepest thanks again guys!!!

Here is some pictures of my 1641 DP that is being worked on currently and hopefully will be completed by tomorrow so I can make a mad dash to try to have the bus running for Bug-a-rama. The engine was in pretty good shape. It would turn by hand and once it arrived at the mechanics house we got it running before we left. That is always a good sign, especially after the engine had sat for 2 years. Can't wait till tomorrow to see and hear the engine again and hoping I can get ppl to help me install the engine

Here is some pictures of my new $30 seat I scored from a friend. The seats are in alot better condition then I had expected. I have to find some floor clamps for it, but its a perfect fit for the back there. The cushions are in good order as my husband and I bounced on them for a bit after we put the seat in the bus... Never know when you get a minute away from the kids... LOL

Here is a better shot of the passanger side of my newest Bus. The Bus is a 1971 Deluxe with sunroof. It has a 1641 dualport, 1976 front and rear end, IRS lowering kit, luggage rack, billet fenders front/back (back is currently off as I am doing engine work), headlight covers, window louvers, tiny steering wheel, and some after market low profile sport mirrors. Oh, not to mention it came with its own Transformer's Decipticon insignia made out of diamond cut plate steel that will replace the org. VW sign on the front of the Bus. But I hope that once finished my Bus will get as much if not maybe more attention then my husband's Hotwheels Bus. Let's Hope ;-)
