I just wanted to say hello to everyone and that I look forward to the new adventure that awaits.
My wife gave me two options, oval/rag bug or a 21/23 window bus. We looked at a few ovals and she always gravitated back to the type 1 buses, so we kept looking, and looking, and looking... No more searching now!
I will be bring this gem home in about a week once life affords me the opportunity to make a run with the trailer.
I own/operate a part time biz that specializes in just about anything car fabrication/restoration related. Been working on English & Euro cars with my old man for many years and plenty of late model customs, rods, race cars, etc...
The goal is a near stock resto, a few upgrades, and a slightly lower stance. She will get driven plenty I'm sure of it! For now it'll be a rolling resto of the full mechanicals, then onto the sheet metal work.
Other cars in our garage include: 59' Caddy coupe, 53' F100, 93' Toyota Supra, and the daily VW's and an Audi.

Skylight metal / rain gutter will need some love.
Pretty typical though & an awesome find!!
It looks very straight overall.
Those are cool hinged drink trays on the bulkheads.
Looking forward to watching it develop!
