How many is this for you now?   

Buses or projects?!?!?!

this is only 2-1/2 buses, but I have many many many projects.

Still have to decide what Penelope's fate will be. And I have a bunch of random '78 parts around the house.

The projects still include Bonnie, Penelope, now Trixie, my little boat, a dirtbike, an older Yamaha bike, a half built trike at my parents house, my house, plus about a thousand smaller projects that squeeze in everywhere else! I am thinking I'll really start making some progress when I retire.

Ah !!  A classic example of ADD

I guess...

(Edit: I was going to go to craigslist and post an ad for something else to play into the ADD comment... but craiglist is censored.)

Anyways, could you identify the tool?!?!?

I do belive that's one of kc old bus he had ? Looks like fun!

The guy you bought the bus from is Rob (Obviously you know this), and he sold a bunch of parts at bugapaluza last year. Probably will this year too. Great guy and great bus! Congrats on your purchase! It is a solid bus indeed!

Well, I've owned Trixie for a month and finally went camping in her! I rushed to get all the windows swapped out and had new seals for everything behind the front seats except for the slider because I wanted to put a Jalousie window in. While I was at it... I kinda got to changing the color a little bit... it's no longer green...its a little red...

I got off early on Friday and called a guy I had exchanged emails with regarding a camper interior. He had a 73 bus that they swapped a turbocharged saturn set up in it and lost the floor space to put the camper interior back in. So I picked up his entire bus interior (seat, side cabinet, sink, buddy seat, headbanger and child's cot). While I was there, I grabbed up another Jalousie window for the slider (just need a new seal now!).

I ran home from that transaction and threw everything in the bus that I could fit (some of it will need to be made-to-fit). Got the bed propped in there and headed out to go camping. I spent last night sleeping like a baby and the new window seals didn't think about leaking! It was so much  better than tent camping!

Here's a teaser picture of the front end:

Freakin' schweet, Nick! 

Looks Great!   

Thanks! Its certainly getting there. I have really enjoyed getting this one going and driving it.

I've been entertaining the idea of getting the right tires and I've seen a lot of info on the 14" wheels, but what do people get for the 15s? I'm guessing somewhere in the 195/65/15 size, and I'm looking for something in the 1,500lbs rating, but does anyone know a surefire cheap option? I really need to at least get a spare...

Seen you going north on the interstate today around 5:30 .... Looks good red.
