That could give you a nasty head injury.  Hope he came out of it OK.

Better the head and the type of collision it was in, if it was the front end he would most likely be in a wheelchair. I was in a low speed swipe across the front end crash in my 58 and i had to leave my shoes in the rig, lucky i didnt lose my toes.

For 85 grand I would NOT want...
safari rear window with Tijuana dangle thingys flapping around (barndoor hatch maybe)
... and
Some areas of concern include:
fixes to the belly pan,
fiberglass,
B Pillar sanding where body filler was used
Bulkhead cut and flat wall used
Flared lip on the rear wheel wells
Either rock it as is, or start your restoration.
But... props for advertising a "boomin system"  ... couple of 6x9s
How many spark plug clamps per inch is needed? (Hanging off the raised fuel line)
Engine looks like butt

Not a whine more of a question.. does the gates seem odd?
Not sure if this is a Brazilian thing or a modification. Like no turn signals?

They looks similiar to Binz Gates, but they are probably just single cab gates that someone cutdown and spliced together to fit a double cab.
Here is a link to another set in the classified section that looks just like them.

No. Especially when painted with a metallic colour that is mostly likely a flake undercoat with clear ontop - makes invisible re-blending nigh impossible, especialy given primer/filler etc |

He's "describing the bus to the best of my ability." SO why so vague. If he's been a member here for 13 years he should know better how to describe.
Applying 2 gallons of grey paint and not doing the window frames is the easiest indicator to tell how lazy other things were done.

Wrong bottom, or someone has sawn off the horns to support the lower edge of the back.

fuel filter looks pretty dirty. If it fills up quickly that gives a warning signal about actual current drivability.
