Alive and well, being driven like crazy 
I was very happy how well the paint buffed out.
And I gotta say man, you did a great job putting the Bus together. It drives and rides great.

I cleaned up the rust in the windshield frames and got some L289 Blue White mixed up in a spray can from Tower Paints. I'm very happy with the results.
I also touched up a spot on the roof with it. Now to take care of the rain gutters, I hope this can lasts through it.
Other than that I've just been driving it. It's pretty much been my daily for the past month. I even have the heat working! Keeps my toes warm at least

Well it’s been almost 7 years since I bought this Bus from Scott. Since then she’s gotten a fresh engine (early 2016) and this summer I did an IRS swap.
At my lake place
Driving it to work just after the IRS swap
Just thought an update may be nice.

Hey. Glad you're enjoying it still. Still remember the amount of replies I got when I put it for sale here. Must have been 20 the first day. I've gone thru at least 3 bugs and a 912 since. Currently have this little OG paint Gulf Blue '63. Have fun stay safe.

I remember how bummed I was to hear someone else had beat me to the punch and then the relief the next day when you said he backed out and I had dibs. I drove it home the next day.
That’s a sweet looking Bug, btw. I have a ‘59 Beetle that keeps the Bus company.
