A little update on The Disco Bus.

Finally received some Coleman stuff from the previous owner of my Bus (Thanks to Josh for picking it up for me). This stuff was in the Bus when I went to look at it and I told the guy I would like to have it.

This is the last time you'll see these nasty curtains.

Also took the old ripped poptop tent out the other night.
Image

Naked windows.
Image

Poptop tent and torn cot canvas. Goodbye!!

Well I've received all of the parts I ordered from Bus Depot and Wolfsburg West. Mainly just window seals and the poptop tent. Who's helping me with the seals? Tent?

Image

New curtains that I made to the tune of $35.

At Dale's for some brake service.

I'll let you know.

Story about the E.T. :

When Josh picked that up for me from the previous owners house, I guess the owner told him that's what he used to bury his turds when he went camping. I'm sure Josh didn't even want that thing in his car after he heard that. :lol:

A truly versatile tool with 1,001 uses! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Prior usage notwithstanding, my offer is there for cash, or trade.

Got my Bus back from Dale's after he took care of a little brake work for me. Stops great now. Decided to remove the interior and see what type of condition the floor was in.............A little on the wet and moldy side. :shock: Not much rust though, which is good. Tomorrows project: clean up the floor and get it painted. Any suggestions as to what I should paint the floor with because I'm probably just gonna use white Rustoleum.

Mold.......

More wet moldy goodness........

Next steps: clean and paint.

So that's what happened to my power outlet.........

Some stuff I found while removing the interior. Howie were you near my Bus? :lol:

For the floor I would use POR-15. It will seal and stop any more rust from forming underneath whatever you decide to put over the metal floor. Laminate wood floor is nice and cheap too, you only need one package of it.

I'd also put something on that floor to kill that mold and keep it from coming back. Otherwise the floor looks pretty darn solid. :D
