Soo.... Why didn't someone haul that thing out before someone hacked it up?

It´s safe in a garage. No one hacked it up. They just left some useless rusty crap.

But someone forgot the interior light :)

And I´m pretty sure we will see it back on the road in a couple of years... I think the restoration has already started.

Such a nice find Victor!! :D Congratulations again on such a sweet early bus ;-) Guessing 20-021873 would be maybe mid feb? and I reckon mine is mid-Jan so only 4 weeks between them. Very cool! Amazing what still turns up. Look forward to seeing it in a few months ;-)

Thats pretty cool, victors bus and the red/white panel was found in the same area, the forrest outside Kalmar, Sweden. Less than 50km away from eachother :)

:lol:

But i heard that it won't be an easy rescue... It's a pretty swampy area there - in a swedish forum they even talked about a helicopter :|

I was interested in this one about 5 years ago, then I heard that someone had cut the tags out, and taken some more of the parts, so it became a bit confusing about who owned the bus, and who if anybody owned the identity! :lol:

Someone on here cut the tags out, so should be easy to get back. Why on earth they would do that is another question all together.
