Gonna be a fun project.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

I’m confused by the thread name. Bus or owner??

Ive only met Scott once but i think he can take a joke. If not he lets us know when he’s coming  I’ll be sick that day.

We will build it if it comes.

Yup, we got her all unloaded yesterday. Takes up HALF the back lot. For once I’m not taking up the most space back there.

Scott, can we get the history of this thing in writing on here?! So cool!

Here is the story

 

I bought this fine piece of German yard art from a guy named Lucas Wiley in Kent, Washington shortly after we moved to Oregon. He had it stored behind Franklin’s VW shop. That was 6 years ago.  As many of you know I like freak hack crap VWs so this checked all my boxes plus I can stand up in it.

Allegedly, this was built a  long time ago most likely the ‘70’s. Disco and drugs made people do some dumb shit. The last time it was registered according to the plates was 1983 in Washington. The guy lived in it died at some point. Going by the looks of it when I got it, probably in it. It had a homemade shower stall in it, fold out bed, some cabinets, old clothing, boots and a crap ton of survival books and how to live off the grid pamphlets.  He also must have had a hook up on spray foam because thing had it everywhere up to 6” thick in spots.
I will try to find the clean out pictures I took of it.

Anyhow, my goal is to have the metal done, painted so it doesn’t rust (no show car shit, probably thick ass tractor paint) and suspension wise I want to mimic Franz’s mega hatch bus.

John as much as you refused to ever want to see this on the property a couple years ago I am glad you have softened up and are willing to help me build the ultimate camper bus.

Did Scott just drop this off and head back to the coast, or is he going to stick around for a while and help work on it ?

No Way!!!! I had the top half of a 65 Standard with no bulkhead or floor, and an attempt at an IRS conversion, rusted up from the bottom up 18”. Bought a Tom Tom 57 kombi poorly hacked into a Single Cab attempt. Brought these two Bus parts together to make One magnificent Bus Beauty!!!!! You’re Welcome!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
