I picked up this 1966 split window bus that was found in northern new hampshire that has been off the road since 1995 due to rust, so lets get it in the garage and up on the lift to see what it is going to take to bring it back to road ready condition.
after that we make our shopping list for parts then cold start the other vw buses in the shipping container to take the restored bus for a ride along the coastline .

The Volks Wagen type 1 is actually the VW Beatle. The type 2 is the Volks Wagon transporter under many different guises but the bus you have here is a type 2 bay window. I know it can be quite confusing but it is all to do with the history of Volks Wagon since the end of WWII.
When I grew up, my father had two of these. The one with the 1500 was very durable, and ran forever. The one with the 1600 dual port was junk. The 1600 dual port kept sucking valves down into the crankcase through the pistons. The 1600 dual port was the worst engine ever.
Wow I'm happy I stumbled upon yoir channel. I love sixty era volkswagens bug or buses. Without reviewing anything about your channel I can tell you are quite experienced and knowledgeable on all things VW. Would love to get my hands on a camper VW sixties era.
Hey, just curious, what do you sell this bud for ?
How much is a shipping container?
ALL SCRAP
Update on this?
Call bus lily good name for your bus
I DO like the original blue color on this new bus – nice! Also, glad to see that you put your New Blue (full of parts) in the shipping container. There's always scumbags around that would be delighted to run off with a load of hard to find VW parts. I know of a few world class ripoff scenarios where the owners didn't think anyone would steal their stuff, and didn't secure their parts and vehicles. Sadly, they were wrong.

HELL YES IT CAN BE SAVED!!!
Hi Mustie, The thing that the blue VW microbus need… There is the whole floor chassis that VW can sell it. That the top body and sides of Microbus can come off and mount the roof and 4 sides body to the brand new floor (unibody). Save a lot of trouble. In outside where there is room to raise up the Microbus. Please, look in video by Fixin Bugs
NStuff and title is VW Bug Pan removal and adding new pan. It is very reasonable and low cost.How can you run out of Gas Mustie? You carry that squeeze bottle and jumper pack everywhere you go.
