Bus is located in beautiful downtown Bergen though.
There is a dent in it. You can't see it, but it is a big wow. No creasing of the metal and could probably be popped out by soemone who knew what they were doing.
Let me know if you are interested

That bus looks fairly clean. Nobody over there wants to build it? How are the rear corners? I'd haveto see pics of the "wow" to be sure on the front end.

Post by: riff raff on October 22, 2010, 01:10:06 PM: That bus has been sitting for awhile now.
When I first got it, it had already been relieved of all it's door, steering column, etc.
If it was relatively complete, it would have been a borderline candidate for resurrection, at the time, it was a candidate for parts.
Kind of a shame, because today, it would definitely be a candidate for resurrection, but It has since offered up much of itself for transplant into other busses.
It may be a while before I get up there to take a pic at the right angle so the wow is visible.
The nose has the wow in that pic, it is just to the inside of the drivers side headlight bucket.
I'll endeavor to get a pic before it gets snowed in.

Post by: vwboop on November 30, 2010, 10:16:45 AM: Still looking for a good 64-67 bus nose, & nice rear corners to the top of the taighlights, and the sheet metal behind the front wheels. Would like original bus metal as no good reproduction noses have been made to date (it's a repro one I am replacing). I have a donor bus lined up but it might be a shame to cut that one up.

btw Geoff thanks for the link. Never got a response from the guy.

It's true. Likely it is destiny. Maybe buying it for the third time and cutting it up will break the pattern ;D.
