Icehouse Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 We aquired this bus about 1 year ago, for a 1964 it's in really good shape. Although at first the body looked good with minimal bubbling with closer inspection I could tell there was some sort of body filler. After sitting the winter it was looking a bit worse, not much but rust bubbles make me sick! Anyways I'll type more later I just want to upload a few pictures of it. 24 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 ive always wanted a bus for camping and road trips! this should be fun to watch :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 ive always wanted a bus for camping and road trips! this should be fun to watch :thumbup:You should get one. On top of being fun, they can be a great investment. I only had $2100 into my Westy -- I sold it for $6k. And it wasn't nearly as desirable as Jeff's split. Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 The bottom is going to be that color. Just got to go over it and make sure everything is good. The bottom half was the rough half of the bus :) 3 Quote Link to comment
