So I took my friend and we went
The bus was about 205 km or 127 miles away
I watched the bus across from each side
It was not perfect, but I had nothing to do
the heart was sold and there were no other choices
the bus itself was 1976
mounted type4 2L engine
total 9 seats
and briefly thats everything besides the ugly green color
a lot of rust in the bottom - frame and beams, floor, fenders

Driving home was interesting the heating did not work because there is a wrong motor and the pipes are not connected the outside temperature was -2 ° C, or about 28F the time of the safety car was running out and had to go away - I was alone on the road with an unknown car but there was no problem at all I got home in one piece The bus ride well - the maximum speed tested at 130km / h or 81mph I was happy – still I was happy because I did not know what really awaited me and my wife did not know anything yet  |

time went by and bus needed to go go to garage because there was no room in front yard or back yard  |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in that time there was one plan to overhaul engine and gearbox, axles and all technical
and let body stay like this and enjoy it like year or 2....5...?
or second plan was - why not to do everything ?
....

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time went by again year after purchase - nothing no work, no drive  |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the only thing that happened was that i bought a set of spare parts sold as set and reason to buy was gerabox "091" and engine with mora and raw power    |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I had to do something and I took it seriously inside out   outside out     |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
next i went to see a large compressor  and there was big bag of sand too  |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
there was no going back now.
now the actual damage was visible.
and it became clear what details needed to be ordered
and the budget rose more than expected.
