56 money pit

56 money pit

by davebug » Sat Jan 24, 2015 12:26 pm
Hi all ,I'm fairly new to this forum,had aircooled for last 25 years and currently been using my 69 bay for last six years which has been a blast ,been looking for some time for a split,had a look at one or two but tend to be over valued or much worse than they say :roll: anyway found an ad for a 56 and didn't go expecting too much,my biggest worry was it had been started and been sat in primer for around three years,always dubious about primered cars because of horrors,as it happened its a cracker with very little welding needed and as far as can see all original panels which are in fantastic condition with virtually no traces of filler to be found,it's a long project but here's the bus,hope this gives idea of how she is .cheers Dave Matthews.

Nice looking, and straight early bus. Did you get an interior - getting hard to find on those.
