Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

No, it came from New Hampshire. Was probably in that area most of its life. Import code was for Boston. |

That westy is identical to one I found in North Dakota in the mid 90's. I passed on it, then checked in with the seller a year later. It had been sold to a young man in Mandan who worked at a local lumber yard. The reason I know this bus isn't the same one is, the Dakota Westy burned to the ground in the parking lot of that lumber yard a few weeks after the kid started driving it. _________________ nothing |

Same as the one I found in CO 16 years ago, except the one I found was a flipseat. Guy wanted 6k and I balked. What a dumb ass I was. lol...crying

I forgot to add, the one in NoDak was a flipseat, too. I think the asking price was $2K, but it needed a trans rebuild as I recall.
I really need to find and scan a bunch of my old photos. _________________ nothing |
