pre-purchase inspection help

[Busted Knuckle]

Looking at the pictures, I have seen worse. MUCH worse! Now that said I still ain't giving it a thumbs up (or down) yet!
The engine looks fairly clean and I don't see a lot of rust. There is some rust, but I have seen a LOT WORSE!
I'm like Don, if you like the bus, make a LOW offer. If they except it, GREAT, if they don't walk away and look at the next one.

Buying a older bus I tell people buy one with problems you can deal with shop repairs can cost you the farm, you are not buying a new bus ,a 45 year old bus will have problems. I have a couple of friends when they sit down in the seat they close their eyes for a minute and I ask one  why lol he told me he was praying to Detroit gods before he starts it, must work he has owned the bus for 15 years and all I have done for him is some governor work,It would be good if somebody in the Denver area could lend him another pair of eyes though
