Hiya All,

Holy Moley! That's my neighborhood!

And..............there is a late model Baywindow that has been sitting in one spot for more than two years just a couple of blocks from my place. Same paint scheme as Colin's Bus.

Busses, busses and more busses!
I have cancer.

It does not have me.

I'd offer $500 cash and it is out of there in just a few days. Heck, that case of Coors is worth $40 to the underage Hoosier kids hanging out at the 7/11 parking lot.

It's cool that I did in fact only have to give $500 for that same bus. I feel like it was a good deal and I've been looking for a late bay westy. The Coors Light case was home to the "S" intake boot as well as the pipes that lead away from the heat controllers which route the heat away from the engine when the heat exchangers are not being used to heat the interior.

The bus was 8 miles from my home and I located an air-cooled VW shop on the way. If the rain stops, I will shoot some photos of the bus as it's been washed/ waxed since last weekend.

What a hell of a deal- you western folks are blessed. I spent the day cleaning, vacuuming, and trying to find all my curtains. I should get some photos posted of the bus in its current state- looks nicer since the wax job and cleaning.

So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....
