Dude! don't carry matches in your back pocket!

Haha! Love it!

Congrats on your new find. I'm sure you will have that baby looking great in no time. To tell you the truth, it looks great now. i see a lot of potential there.

Here are some pics of a 65 Delux walk-thru that I dug out of the mud about 20 years ago.
Now this would be are real challenge for ya.

Here is a short list of things that had to be done to date to get this back on the road:

Long trip out west to pick it up and trailer it home
Clean out the interior/exterior including serving eviction notices to the mice
Remove the fuel tank, clean inside, replace all hoses and tank filter
Brakes all the way around, including all hoses, all wheel cylinders, new dual master cylinder (type with adapter kit)
Free up, grease brake and clutch pedals and all cables, adjust ebrake cables.
Replace boots on transmission, drain and refill gear boxes
Sort out a bunch of electrical issues, lights, horn, etc.
Wiper shafts replacement
Front beam clean, grease, swing pin replacement
Add one mystery motor (after the standard checks)
Weld in new metal around seat belt mounts in the front seat area

And a bunch of little stuff I probably forgot about already

Here's my mice eliminator. Even at age 12 and deaf he can still handle the job!


I love the deluxe bus. And after all, it is blue. (Well half of it anyway.)

I really like passenger buses and feel they are overlooked in the VW camper world. And it looks like you have the middle seat!

Getting it closer.....Bill just got the seats all done for me, AWESOME!

Sexy! Great work!

Damn, I wish mine was as together as that........

Ya gotta love a split passenger bus! What's up with those ultra-cool whitewalls?
