That’s the coolest “Mom car” ever! Those kids are going to have the best stories ever when they’re of to collage and beyond.

in reply to: Subaru bullshit! #9689You’re going to love a 2.5 in the bus. I’ve been daily driving mine now for over a year and a half. Been to Havasu twice, and Moab once. Never a squawk from the engine. I had a transmission bearing go out. But that was due to my keeping the clutch in at stops. Then I had to replace axle boots. Again, more to do with type of axle boots I used.

in reply to: KCW randomness #9615I didn’t know it was possible to pass on a Split!!!!! Damn Ben, you have some serious self control and focus!!!!
Beside the fact, the seller sort of backed out, I think it has to do with age Rusty. I got three major fun projects ahead of me now. Don’t think I could handle another. Notice I said fun projects. My wife and I want to spruce up the home after I retire, and she says I must do it before I go all out vagabond in my VW bus. 🙂

in reply to: KCW randomness #9570Got a look at this beast today. Turns out, it’s a ’66 standard. Has the proper bucket seat and 2/3 front seats in the back. Also has a camper bed in it. Needs rockers, front floor pieces, and bulkhead is missing. All the normal stuff. Engine compartment is full, and I mean full of pack rat foliage and who knows what else. But all the major stuff is there minus bumpers. She said it never had them when she bought it. I got and offer in and It might be a go. She wants to think a few days. I told her I was not in it for a flip. That I would do it up proper. There was a sheet metal stove in a trailer next to the bus she was talking about wanting in her shop. I said I would get that delivered in addition to my offer. We’ll see. She said I would hear from her this week.
Me and the lady selling her bus both arrived at the same conclusion, I changed my mind about buying, and contacted her of my decision, and she said she decided to keep it. After I looked at it and made a few lists of parts it would need, I said to myself, “you got an airplane to build”. Better put the money towards that instead of a bus I don’t need. She told me when we were traveling back to Tucson after looking the bus over, she got all nostalgic and choked up seeing my bus on the drive home. I told her she has all the help she needs getting it back up and running.

in reply to: Parkway projects #9495In a weird way, I look at VW’s as my contribution to a smaller carbon footprint on this planet. Every time we buy a new car, a new “this and that” we increase out foot print ten fold. Using a junk yard, or cast away Subaru for an engine is also decreasing that foot print somewhat. I’m also not dropping another 5K on less reliable horse power. By recycling old cars and engines, it makes me feel pretty good.
My next bus, if the purchase goes through will get a nice SP 1641 engine that I have all the stuff to build.

in reply to: Utah Campouts – Ottinger Event 4/26/24! #9399There’s a motorcycle rip there called “Five Miles of Hell”. Always wanted to do it on one of my dirt bikes. But I got to old.
