I spent the evening getting acquainted with the bus. I had some work friends come out over lunch, but of course she wouldn’t start. Oh well she looks cool anyways. Overall I’ve got a solid bus. Her engine looks to be in good shape with some newer components, I’ve got minimal body rust, and the underside is 80% solid with a few holes and rough patch jobs in the floor. The dash is totally uncut, and it looks like I will be spending some time learning how to rewire everything. The bad news is it is slowly leaking oil from the underside drain bolt, and the battery doesn’t seem to hold a charge. For a 46-year-old hippie bus barn-find from Georgia, not bad at all!
Another interesting note: I appear to have a few stowaways from Florida, namely a few massive brown spiders nesting in and around the bus, and a small lizard crawling around the windows. Hopefully there is room for a few more additions to the family!
