Nice job on the video Kevin (really, I liked his style)
This is BAD. I think that's unsafe to drive anywhere.
Looks like the wheel cylinder is leaking too
I feel like you could do a couple launches with that big engine and break that frame off.

It's just a flesh wound.

Yes I saw that wheel cylinder leak and mentioned it to Kevin. I don't know how he isn't dead from driving to the dumps. Its oddly @ 4.2K with over 4 days to go.

"Mike decided to sell his Double door panel..." I give a rat's ass about Mike and his decisions. How about we start our ads describing the vehicle for sale and not some fuddy-duddy who owned and therefore "warrants" a higher-than-normal price. Then again, I do love DD panels...I'm ranting merely about leading into an ad with this bosh. Remarks complete.

I'm guessing that is his "I don't want to sell it price"  |

My hope is that when I'm incarcerated and have to offload my junk to fund the defense, that I have a friend like Mike's to handle the job with obvious aplomb.

Do these flippers think that if they leave it the way they found it, dirty and full of crap that it is worth more money, The only pics they left out is, of it on the trailer or someone walking by the bus |

Not to throw any shade, but if that is the bus I think it is, the rear hatch is rusted off at the hinges.
Anyone know what stash I am talking about?
on a scale of 1-10, that bus is a 2 if you are being generous.

That’s around pic #9. The long rocker looks completely gone along with the jacking points, too. Waterville, Ohio..... I imagine even wood and stainless steel can rust pretty bad in good ole Waterville. It does seem to have all its bits and pieces and some OG paint left. |

Hatch looks to be on there. Decklid might be another story. |

No idea how this hasn't gotten on here yet:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2218652
Looks like someone doesn't know how to count windows correctly 
This is one of those buses that there are seemingly too many incorrect components and features to count. |

Guy has all the outward appearances of a flipper (that is to say, doesn't really appear to be a Bus guy, just in it to make money...new member with three type II's for sale). I could be wrong. |

a guy I know on Instagram drove to get it, was not able to buy it because it was being sold thru a "Broker" and that broket guaranteed around 60K "overseas"
The frame is junk and the lower half is a respray
