It looks like I will need to drop this list. I joined several years ago to
find
a home for a 1982 bus that I bought with a bastard engine. I was always
hoping for a "I just got smashed and need a '82 body' post, but it never
happened. It is really a solid body that is too nice to part it out on ebay.
It looks like she is finally sold for cheap at a loss as I need the
driveway.
The buyer says he is gonna fix it but who knows.The new owner is to come get
it Saturday, we will see.

Age thing, I am 44 and bought my first bus in 1983? That is over 20 years
bus ownership, and that original bus (71 westie) is curently in my garage
suffering for time/ money disease. I have spent a fortune in rust repair. It
needs paint and reconstruction but I have no idea when that will happen. I
drive a 69 westie now that is running on an engine I built, but is sadly
rusting away. I have also had a 67 deluxe rust bucket driver.

Bye and thanks for the ride. I will still be on the type2 and vintage lists.
