How to find a good deal on your VW split window bus project

that makes so much sense how you broke it down...... I too follow that model when I buy a bug..... my 65 bug was pretty much all there and the 71 vert all the dirty work was done..ie new floor pans and body and paint

Thanks Mike for another on point video. My temptation of buying a overpriced rusty bus shell void of parts is gone... Especially when it comes to the missing middle and rear seats...
Your advice is well received 👍🏻

Well, you've almost scared me away from an 11 window with all parts, extra windows, straight clean roof and front, some lower rust on inside of cargo doors, extra driver's door and comes with new rocker pans for nine grand, doing most of the labour myself but I'll definitely give it somemore thought. thx. Any suggestions, please let me know!

Damn, I can't believe how much they're going for these days! I bought mine for one grand, 20 years old, no rust, no parts missing; drove it around for 15 years before selling it. What a workhorse it was. Camping, construction, daily driver. Guess I couldn't afford it now.

This dude has been huffing paint for too many years. Negative Nancy. Just give people information. We don't need to hear you bitch and whine and cry about all your past experiences. Jesus Christ!

Hey Mike, I'm about to drop $28000 on a '63 double door with mothing inside, but the restoration is pretty beautiful. Would you help me out and check it out if l send you a link? I know there's only so much you can do by viewing pictures but anything would help me....

Should I back away from the 1967 vw bus my mechanic is selling? It needs rear and middle seats, and the paint is about as ugly as it gets, but its got a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission, and it runs and drives. It also may need a portion of the cargo floor by the cargo doors.

Good info mike. I bought a 11 window for a covid project. Pretty cheap, needs rockers, cargo floor etc. It has good patina. Not in it for the money. I like patina busses and making it mine like art. Doing it on the cheap. The plan is fix structural rust, but no more. I figure 3000 in metal and rest labor get it on the road and and enjoy it. I’m diving in. What do you think about the patina bus crowd? I think it makes the swap meets and shows more fun. What do think 🤔

What about the 15 window splitty
