hahahaha thanks busted im getting to the rusty part now.

this pic I just pointed the camera up inside the spare tire well, so im not really sure were it is im thinking the front frame area on the pass side.

sec pic is the newer or rebuilt 134a a/c pump

[reelnative]

well thats about all I could find on her guys,

how would you rate the old girl from 1 to 100 and were should I start first, I just had 4 sst screws put into my shoulder a few months back and the doc says I have to wait a few more months before I can start lifting cars and fat wemen, but I really have to get my hands on somthin.

the bus drives really good down the road, but it has the hyd assist steering should I try to see whats leaking on the steering box or just rip it out and go with the new style.

abd about that rust by the window piller in the front should I attack that or do other things first.

When people say "rust on a bus", they pretty much mean structural frame elements that you can remove with one hand, panels you can poke your finger through, suspension mounts waving in the breeze.  What I've seen so far is a power wash, some of that rust converter of your choice, maybe some chipping at the worst bits, and some paint.

Along with the rust converter spray I use, I have had excellent results from zinc-rich cold galvanizing paint.  It works a treat at preventing rust from reforming.  It is not a very nice looking paint, I use it under the covers of things, on chassis, inside that spare tire compartment, and so on.

Truth be told, your bus looks about identical to mine underneath, and I am very happy with mine! 

edit - you do have what looks like soft floor boards in the last pictures.

[reelnative]

what would you pros say this bus is worth in its condition with the newer rebuilt v871n, and the a/c changed over to 134a, the tires are all in great shape also
