The Guy with My old Bus

[Shew]

ANyone know what ever happened with that? Does he still have it? I am seriously thinking about getting another vw van as my next project

[welshj]

I just talked to a guy the other day that knew justin.

He said he does still have it, but it's parked out in morgans point? apparenty running, but something's wrong with it.

I still have justin's number in my phone if he hasen't changed it.

[Shew]

hmmm...wonder if he wants to sell it...this is the first time I have been without a VW since the age of 16 and its not cool being VWless

heya rick. Justin here, I have been goin through some hard times lately and I had to park the bus at my bud's house up ontop of nollanville HIll. I honestly dont know if it is still there at his house or not but I am wanting to get another bug. If you want the bus, I have lost the title but I will be happy to hand you the keys for free. with that in mind, I never transfered it over into my name so teh title is still in yours, it shouldnt be too hard to get it since its still in your name.

let me know bro!!

btw, do you still have my bug? i miss it :(

Sound awsome! Is it still running? Whats goin on with it? I had to sell the 74 after my divorce was final...not cool but I was left with lots of bills. I am in KY right now at Fort Knox but will be comming down that way pretty soon. My # is 989-285-0232

:( my ol' yeller is gone!?

...you will be missed ol' yeller!

I dont knwo if it is running, I kinda had to abandon it, i didnt have any way to bring it with me from house to house. I have moved about 4 times in the past year. As for running, it was when i left it, but that was a year ago.

[Shew]

The 74 just got a brand new paint job and is currently being completely redone...I will show you pics when I go check it out...give me a call and we can work out something....u need a computer? I have a hp laptop...has an external cd rom and keyboard because I spilled coffee on it...windows xp, 512MB ram, 40 gig hard drive, cd/dvd RW drive, wireless

[sekta]

how much??

I work at Freedom Jeep & Chrysler now in Killeen. Need a new car? :p

[Shew]

I was offering to give it to you for the bus not sell it to you haha...all it needs is a new platic connector for the hard drive (95 cents or so) and re-install windows...product key is on the laptop so you can just borrow a copy from a friend...don't need a new car haha but I do need a bus

[sekta]

ok thats cool.

[Shew]

you rememebr how much body work that badboy needs?

[sekta]

hmmm, teh battery pan is gone, and a bit of rust spots here and there. The table bed, and couch are ok but the driver and passenger seats may need some recussioning. The CD player was stolen out of it on new years night about 2 years ago, along with about $3000 worth of my riding gear that i had stored up in it.

really i think it just needs the normal fixin's and repaint on the body.

I have to rooms available in december. 1 Roomate will be 250 a month plus half utilities...167 a month if there are 2 roomates. The house has two bathrooms and a garage I will share.

[Shew]

I need to find out if the case on the motor has ever been machined. Anyone have a compression tester? I would like to get a general idea of what it will need. I know the carb needs a rebuild. I can't remember but was the motor a 2.0? If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. The reson I want to know all this is so I can start buying the parts. Once I get the motor finished I will them move on to the cosmetics. Man I can't wait for December!

[welshj]

da sander... check
air compressor... check

Can't wait to get back! Thanks for the pics!

If i remember correctly the motor was a 1600cc, the engine as far as i know has never been touched. and yes, the carbs need to be rebuilt.

[Shew]

I know its not a 1600...if it is the orig engine it would be the 2000cc.If the case has ever been machined then the specs should be etched on the top of the case. It always seemed to run pretty good but it sure did burn way more gas than it should have. It burned a little oil too..not much. It won't be my only mode of transportation though

[sekta]

... yah its been so long since i have looked at it, i dont remember.
