Hi! does anyone remember what happen to the two buses on middle valley rd. where there is a general store at the intersection of walnut and middle valley. One of the buses had a toyota engine in it i think. They where there a year or two ago. I would like to find a 3tc toyota motor and a Kennedy adapter. I'm also looking for a rear cushion for a 73 camper.Thanks Steve

I remember the buses, but don't have the foggiest clue what happened to them.   ???

Called the owner of the apt. He said two young guys that owned them skipped out on the rent and left for Florida. But i wouldn't think they took them with them.Now mine seems better. just when i thought it was finished and i could put the toyota motor in. On the way from soddy to bugawhatever this spring it sounded like a spark plug came out it wasn't. then i thought it was the exhaust put new j-pipes in for 200 that wasn't it did find one air pipes off. still isn't quiet but better. A guy in a portland,maine vw shop told me it might be a plug  but i can't see where it could be. STEVE

I went and talked to that guy a couple of times before he up and moved. He had 2 buses outside as well as one completely stripped sunroof bay window bus inside that he was working on, and an orange camper that he drove occasionally. Both the buses he had outside were in pretty bad shape up close. When he showed them to me, they didnt have any motors in them. I had always wondered where he went to, since I also live off middle valley rd.
