Paint and damage

Paint removal and body check

Paint removal off front of bus. Drive's door removal. The car was purchased in primer and it was a bit rusty looking, so moisture reached the body.

Front has some damage.  It looks like someone some whole drilling to pull the dent out. They didn't use a stud welder.

Passenger door removed  and head lights removed.

Disco windows removed from van to be welded back closed.

1957 panel arrived from Texas to Brooklyn

The panel arrived from Fort-worth, Texas. First it landed in East Orange.  I couldn't get a trailer to pick up my delivery to bring it to NYC.  I changed my destination to NJ and someone took the bait.  The driver complained about getting too many tickets once in NYC.

Here it is being unloaded from the trailer. 

It arrived in NJ on September 11th (9/11), 2014.

This is place in my temp garage in East Orange, NJ. 

Into its current and final destination here in Brooklyn.  Welcome home Oscar.  Oh yeah, his name is Oscar, his sister Mireille is in the next carport over.  She is a lovely fully restore 1958 Beetle.

Arrived in Brooklyn, October 5th, 2013

Bus Service Manual

Purchased my first service manually. This is my first type 2, so I think this is required.
