Crazy, but I like it. You said you swapped it out with something else. Vanagon?

barnacle bus!

I'd be very interested to see how it looks with paint removed. Hopefully the next owner will post.

I feel like if I look at it any longer... I should take an antibiotic.
It looks like it sat at the bottom of a bat cave or under a bird's nest for too long.

As horrific as it looks, I would have to keep it that way and just get it running...I don't know why, it is just an instant icon.

i wonder how it would hold.

would it flake off with pressure washer?

would it just fall off on the first bump?

If no windows and no door closing is your thing, i guess it could work.

I wonder if you could dip it...chemically removing the gunk would be the least invasive....

spray that thing real good with a hose and then cover it with plastic for a day or so before using a pressure washer

That's what we are thinking about doing. Do you know anyone who does this?

When you dip it the inaccessible internal areas will remain raw metal. It may be worth it anyway on this one, that's just something to consider.

I bet a few hours with a pressure good washer will knock a lot of that off. Or at least it will tell you more of what you're up against.

Drive it around and it will probably disintegrate as you go.

I can see the owner giving two middle fingers as it's pulled in.

STRIP IT ?!?!
That bus is a patina monster! Literally!!
I'd clear coat that B, put in a new interior, get it running and lower it on alloys!!
Then drive the crap out of it.
maybe someone can photo shop that look. . .

I think it's cause of the fish oil that's in the paint has kept the metal from rusting out and it's scraping right off.
