not right now... Grin It came with all but the engine lid. The side door is in ok shape, the front passenger door is not worth thinking about and the driver's door is missing the back lower corner. The rear lid has a random middle of nowhere rust hole.

The more I tear into it, the less I'm thinking it'd be worth it to try to save a whole lot. Its mostly just the parts that don't rust anyways.

 You can have that part. If you want to come cut it or come mark where you want it cut, that'd be best. With my luck I'd cut it too small. I only have the door jealousie window and I'd really like to get a few bucks for it to help cover some of the costs, but I'm flexible. Let me know when you could come for the metal.

I've got a friend that needs the post on the passenger side beside the rear seat.

How much of it? Just the inner structure or the whole area? From top of window to rocker? I'm keeping the rocker area on the passenger side but I could care less about the inner support.

As for this weekend, I'll be busy most of the day Saturday. I have to miss the cruise in as well, but feel free to come look at it on the way to the cruise in (its between sonic and the interstate- my address is in the member directory). I have a nosey neighbor, so he might come say hi if I'm not there, but he knows what I'm doing with the bus. If any one wants a piece, bring a sharpie and draw what you want with your name in it.

I think I'm going to be getting a cutting torch soon for this. That is, if the welding supply can get me the tanks I need at a not outrageous price!

He just needs the inner support.  I can't find the pictures of it, but it's an early bay window that at one time belonged to Travis and had been hit between the wheels at floor level on the driver's side.  He's got all the external and floor sheet metal either straightend out, fabricated or purchased, but was not able to straighten the post out enough to use it and hasn't been successfull in fabricating one.

Zen, here is a picture of the area. pleast make accurate marks as to where I should cut.

Eike, the second picture is of the section you want. I have it off the vehicle, so you can still cut it, but if you want me to cut it, I can.

Anyone else need anything before I make the whole bus fit in the bed of my pickup?

Hey Nick, if the torsion and transmission hanger section is intact, cut it loose from the frame and body in one piece . . . that's an easy sell to a lot of rail buggy and trike guys!  Wink
