Nice bus, I hope you aren't going to mess it up by painting it.

No painting.. What you need is to keep the rust, drop it about 3 inches (if it hits the ground thats ok too) add some safaris, roof rack, and mabye a fuzzy pink bed in the back Laughing

I'm not sure lowered busses and Westfalia tents are a good thing....

There appears to already be a roof rack.

There could be Safaris, we cannot see the front.

I know for a fact this guy has a fuzzy rug he keeps inside. Smile

Lowered Bus = ruined Bus.

bah. Everyone has their own opinion on stuff. I've heard people say "lowered vw is ruined." Why is that? I've been curious. You can always adjust them back

If I didn't work retail, I'd drive it out!
November is too busy for me to be taking a 3-week road trip!!!

Hopefully I'll have a rental bus again this year, I'll try not to blow up your engine this time. Wink

don't worry Greg. for the 10th BULLI BRIGADE, You're gonna be ridin in style. Even though its the same bus as last year, there have been a few modifications. It should DEFINITELY make it through the weekend! Maybe even out to the Octo/Classic next year! It should be completely done tomorrow so I can test drive it for you and work out any kinks before BB10.
