hello Guys For the last couple of years we have been restoring a VW bus to raffle off at _www.naturalbus.net_ (http://www.naturalbus.net/) with the most of the money going to the local Roanoke Va Ronald mcDonald house. We raised $4200, but kept $1000 for next year bus so that those of us who did put the first year money up didn't have to do it the following year. First year a group of us bought a 71 westy and with the help of a lot of different people and parts vendors we restored it. It turned out great. A lucky guy in lynchburg Va bought 2 tickets and won it. As far as I know he is still driving it last year we did a 73 hardtop camper ,it also turned out great thanks again to people and vendors helping supplie is in parts, again we raised a little over $4200 , Some lucky guy from Martinsville Va bought one ticket and won it and is still driving it today. We kept $1000 aside for this years bus. this year we were donated a 73 westy from darrell Philips of Silver lakes Vw in Wilminton NC It will need some work but nothing we can't handle. The engine needs rebuilding and body work including installing a front nose that darrell sent with the bus, pop top canvas , seat covers etc.. We are looking for help getting parts and such and anybody that wants to help us sand and body work and paint is welcome to do such For info go to _www.fullmoonbusclub.com_ (http://www.fullmoonbusclub.com/) forums , around the campfire, introducing "nattybus 10" here we go thread. on there is listed a parts wish list. thanks for any help anybody can do. the last 2 years the head of the McDonald house has told us we help feed 18 familys that had stayed there for over 3 months. we feel like this is a great cause and makes for one exciting drawing at the campout. Ticket has to be present to win. later and have fun Mark dearing
