The best way to have fun with this bus is to sell it and do something fun with the money.
I truly believe this bus would not be economical to build if it was free.
good luck with the sale. _________________ .

The decision to get rid of it sounds like the reasonable thing to do - unless one really needs a storage shed. 25,000 pesos sounds about right too. |

I think 25,000 pesos is tad too much. 12,000 pesos and you may be getting warmer.
Good luck with the sale |

At least he’s advertising it as a storage shed/off road/movie prop bus, consistent with his prior statements. No worse than all the other rusty buses being flipped in the classifieds. A reasonable person should be able to discern that it’s in need of more metal work to be safe as a driver.
My guess? He’s found a better, less rusty bus hidden away somewhere up there in the Canadian wilds, and is getting his marbles together to snatch it. |

With that welding, I think it is best for all road users that he sells it. _________________ Blah..... |
