Just bought my new project. Its only 1200 miles away. Going down to get it along with some other bug body parts. Found this in Texas. Very clean. No engine but it does come with the original side glass. Got to get rid of the camper glass. Looking forward to getting it home. here is some other photos from down there and of some of my stuff, Sorry I did not separate them. s606.photobucket.com/albums/tt148/boros40/It comes with the pop out windows. I want to sell the camper windows that are in it. anyone know what thy are worth? Attachments:

Nice find. Looks like it will be a nice solid start for a great project. When will it be home?

Bus looks good
I know that the Bay window Westy jalousie windows go for about $30-$40 ish each. I tried to sell mine at that price but the only people interested we in Europe and I was afraid to send glass that far. So I plan on keeping them to use as spare parts when I someday rebuild my current ones. Then I plan on selling the extra parts.
I know that Split Window Bus Parts are more expensive. Just check to see what they are selling for on thesamba. Swap meet prices tend to be lower but less hassle because of shipping.
