So I'm finally getting back to you guys on some more of the progress on the bus.
So after I had the motor rebuilt, I got it back and the engine tin looked like hell. As soon as I got it back, I disassembled it completely and powder coated all of the tin the color that my wife picked to paint the exterior of the bus. Yeah guys, no getting out of this one.
Powdercoated manifolds super chrome from prismatic powders.
Mid Assembly
In the mean time, while the engine was out, I went ahead and took out the gas tank and gave it the POR-15 treatment, worked really well for me. Have to go through the process exactly as the instructions state. Only thing I did different was waited about 2 weeks before putting any gas in it.
Before
After
So with the tank out, why not paint the engine bay too. We figured that white would make the engine stand out even more.
Before
After
Got the transmission in with new shifting coupler and throwout bearing, blasted and powder coated the axles, rebuilt axles with cv joints re-greased and new boots.
Here is the engine stuffed in the bus
Before
After
The only other pic I have to share right now is the interior. We bought a middle seat from a guy in Reno that was in great shape and got it in.
Stuff done that is not in the pictures.
Completed all electrical, now everything works how it's supposed to. Blinkers, head lights, brights, dash lights, horn, absolutely all electrical stuff works flawlessly.
New shocks, rides like a champ.
Got our 10" VW Emblem put on the front. All in all, we love the bus and it is driven every single day. Next step is to get it painted. I'm going to wash it today and I'll post a few more of the engine. I also put the heater blower back in and have it connected to a switch on the dash.
Enjoy and have a great day.

Finally decided to do some mechanical work on the bus. Pulled the engine to get it rebuilt. While I had it out, there was no better time then now to replace and regrease the cv joint boots.
Pulled the transmission too, it was an absolute mess. I guess this is what happens when a bus sits in an empty lot for 15 years.
Bought all new engine seals from WW, new coupler bushings, new kyb gas adjust shocks for front and rear, putting new brake shoes on, basically rebuilt the wheel cylinders with new rubber, sand blasted and cleaned everything and will powder coat this weekend. A lot of work, but when this is done, the rear end will be complete.
Here is a couple pics of the wheel cylinders.
Basically a before/after, they both look like the right one now.
How brakes looked, will post an after when i'm finished with them.

Thanks Kim, It has been a lot of work, but low and behold a very fun project. BTW, you need to get some more pics of your pony hauler on here. I've been telling everyone about it and for some reason I didn't get any pictures of it.
