Here's the bus Lora and I brought up from Bremerton the SpringMeet weekend.




We got it in trade for a '78 Yamaha XS400. The bus came with a 1.8 that's been bumped up to a 2.0L with less than 10k on it. ALso came with a brand new, never installed set of Webers (no they are not for sale!)
All of the interior is there, including a 12v cooler to replace the icebox. It has a wrinkly nose and a crease on the sliding door but otherwise the body is solid. Very minor surface rust spots but no holes anywhere. It has taken up residence at my folks house (along with my '68 and Lora's square) until at least August when Lora is done school.




Here's what it looked like before we picked it up



ANd the front end damage

No colour change planned in the near future. It needs some some things done to get it through VI and the carbs installed. I'm sure at some point it will fall victim to the striping brush, nothing to extravagant though. Probably some body line highlights similar to PB's DC.

It might be ready if you're planning for late August or September. Ideally I'd like to have it ready for SIR but I seriously doubt that is possible.

Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some smaller countries are neutral.
