bus runs and is drivable, has a complety new brake system from master cylinder out. all parts not show in pics (windows, lights, new WCM door and window seals etc) come with the bus (no middle seat though Sad ). PO started dissassembling for body and paint and never finished. i plan to have the bus put back together and driving by sac bug-o-ramma. me and another 11 window owner (mabalot5150, who also provided me with the lead to this bus) are going to cruise up together.

Looks great Jason. Room for more family. With the right engine you could run in the 12’s at bug-o-rama. See you Thursday.

I think to be hoodride is not only the above, but also to have it slammed to the ground to the point that it'll be tearing off the bumpers.

But in the case it's stock height, I say it's not 'hoodride'.
Jason has better taste than that.

Congrats Jason!

Since your time and attention will now be focused on the bus, I will send you a list of your 67 bug parts I need since you've lost interest in it. Very Happy

When was your bus made? Can't quite make out the m plate but likes like in April (so April '67) but the dash is still the early '67 (built in late '66) kind.

Looks like the og paint could be under the brown, because it looks like they didnt take anything off of it when they painted it....................good luck..................be nice to see it on the street again. Cool

so far i have gotten all the pop out windows in, put together the passenger side front door and installed the sliding window and put the head lisghts and front turn signals back on. next is tail lights and reverse lights. i want to treat the front window frames with POR-15 or similar due to some surface rust there before i put the windshields in. i also need to source a windshield. after that its time to fire the engine up. not bad for only having the bus home since saturday the 24th. Cool

Nice bus. I like early '67's, even if the dash was hacked in. Still looks good overall.

Could you take a pic of the rear seatbelt mounts if possible? Unless you already put a seat in, no worries.

If you don't want those interior panels I'll take 'em off your hands Wink
