It's Official, I have joined the Dark Side...
« on: August 24, 2012, 04:13:37 pm »
And boy or boy,  are the cookies good ;-) LOL  ?/moon2..

I just paid for my 1980 Westfalia Bus!!!   clap2-* {[busbu}]


I should be picking it up on Wednesday.

Needs a bit of top end work, some cleaning, and TLC.

But it is solid and in much, much better shape than I expected for the price.

Sorry Marc... You can't call a "Wedge" a "Bus". Having both, I feel for ya... But it's against the rules.   #@rofl3

The Bus is home!!!!   A safe and uneventful trip. Well other than my neighbor's daughter peeing her pants while we loaded the bus LOL But she is about 3 so it was cute...

Many Big thanks to Glen for the use of his trailer!!!!

Many Big thanks to my neighbor Joe for the use of his truck and help loading and unloading the bus, he is much better with a trailer than I am! 

The good news is it ran with my battery!

The not so good, is no brakes.

I did not take photos since it was dark when I got home, I will take some tomorrow.

But looking it over I was again very pleased at the over all condition of the bus far better than I figured for the money!!  I found a mint snap in rear screen in the cabinet!!

I have the top up and screen windows open to get some fresh air, it is a bit stale, not funky just stale...

Now to start making the check list, and blog!!!!
