Oh no way that thing is killer. I wouldnt change a thing. Fix the rust, clear coat it and roll it like that. It has some way cool personality.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it already, the only thing that I'm missing in order to put the whole thing back together is an engine (which I have, i just need to get it running) and a windshield (Kermit has 5 in stock). So, I feel pretty good. There's only 2 areas rusted through, where there windshield meets the front of the bus and at the driver's feet. I'm not too intimidated about that. I may need to call on some DLK metal skills to help me fix it though :ugeek:

I think I'm going to ditch the camper gear in favor of some seats. The guy was actually getting out of vw's, so he gave me his 'stash' of vw goods. I got a good deal for sure. No haggling, I just walked up, walked around the bus, and gave him the prearranged price. Good guy, if you're ever in Palestine, let me know, I'll give you his number.
