Word of advice. If you are dealing with a guy named Mike Hall on this deal beware! I was on to that deal a couple of years ago and had it until he started to flake out on me. Oh and the yellow and white 66 was mine it ran good when I traded it to him dont know what it is like now.

well it looks pretty complete from what parts i have found that are not on it,and im always open to pre rescue offers.once i get it out i will see if the supposedly new motor will run and go from there.If i was to get a decent as is offer before i put work into it i may just come and go soon after i get it. otherwise im going to slam it,buff it and roll it

not to hop in and ruin the mood but...
I was just wondering if there was any way to convert a single slider into a double slider? I guess that involve getting a donor for the body parts or finding a new parts distributor with those parts. I would have bought the double slider that I came across first a while ago but the 78 I have now just seemed to be a better deal (with practically no rust compared to a possible troublesome bit). Just curious. Looks like a good find. Hope you don't get dicked around!

o its happy for sure and soon enough it will be in the hands of Vintage VW for a road worthy makeover.I have not cleaned it well yet but this bus is going to buff out and be rolling soon.so if somebody else wants to save some money and do the work there self please feel free to send me some offers.im not trying to get rich off of this rescue but it sure was a shit load of work to get it.Delivery in the northwest could be possible for the right price

Stoney Hawk · Posted: Thu May 08, 2008 12:23 pm Post subject:

just to let you peep's know that if you like this bus im open to trades for other vw's.im not trying to get rich here i just find great joy in the rescue.

Stoney Hawk · Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 7:49 pm Post subject:

this bus will be hitting the classifieds soon for about $2500? its buffing out nicely.most of the parts not on the bus like bumpers,reflectors,blinkers,floor matt are all with it, its just not on the bus yet but i do have almost every missing piece.i just wanted to give a heads up to the people that have been following this thread.its a very solid bus with minimal rust.open to offers and of course cash talks.
