This is Gretchen. We've been together since about 2004. After 6 or 7 great years road tripping all over the north east I decided it was time to give Gretchen a new life. She was sand blasted and stripped down to bare metal. All rust was cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. All wiring, lighting, engine, tranny, gas tank and fixtures were removed. She was sprayed with several layers of primer inside and out then she was sprayed with 4 coats of paint inside and out. The entire underside and wheel wells as well as a few other high rust areas were covered in heavy duty rust inhibitor. The engine, tranny and etc were then reinstalled. I installed all new rubber seals on all the windows and doors. At this point I lost my garage and had to put the project on hold. I don't foresee getting a new garage any time soon so rather than see this beauty sit in my back yard unused I've decided to put her up for sale. Please note, this bus is currently NOT Running. She still needs the wiring harness reconnected, all lights need to be reconnected, the engine is installed but not connected to the wiring/gas lines etc. She will also need a few minor connections and finishing touches to be road ready. There is no canvas inside the pop top. The bus has not been run since 2012 but it ran perfectly when I put her in the garage. The restoration was for body rust not mechanical issues. Please look at all the pictures. Contact me with any questions. This is the full westy bus propane stove, pull out bed, bunk bed, fridge etc. On Mar-28-14 at 20:24:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Was asked for some pictures of bus before body work so they have been added. If there is anything specific anyone wants to see please ask and I will do my best to accommodate. On Mar-28-14 at 20:42:38 PDT, seller added the following information: Bus was originally brown and white, interior is original green and brown plaid decent shape overall. Front seats are good but not a lot of padding left. Back seats and bunk are excellent. I also have included in the auction all the parts needed to finish (original) and a bunch of extra parts like extra seat cushions, lights, fuses and more.
