Well, I can finally give y'all an update about the OtherBus that I am purchasing. After receiving a business card from a dude here in Asheville telling me that he had a '84 Wolfsburg for sale. That was a week-and-a-half ago. Today I went to look at the new bus (new to me, anyways) which I have dubbed "'NutherBus" and I am attaching a couple of pix for y'all to see. When I got to the guys place and looked at 'NutherBus, what I saw was a bus that looks like it is in very good physical condition body-wise an I found only one small dent about the size of a half-dollar on the right rear corner. It has a hitch, but the front grille is smashed in acouple places, so I'll need to replace it. Maybe a Hella headlight upgrade will be in order with the square kit; hmmmmmmmm......... Also the hubcaps are non-existent.......nada.........missing in non-action. Of course, the two front seats are in critical need of some care or rather a complete reupholstery job. Everything else is intact; except that it doesn't run.......I guess that's why I got it for $500 bucks, eh? Anyways, good deal for me......another project. My wife says that's all I need is another project. I tell her that another project prolongs our lives, because we can't leave until all our work is done, right? That's it for now, so enjoy the pix attached. Maybe this bus will be a candidate for the Full Moon Bus Club 2003 calendar (if I can get it running by then).
