Well fellow Listees, I'm really in a quandry....

	Re: Busses in the Bushes message from last week...

	made a deal on half the Stuff in that message.... seems Dad does 
not yet want to part with the deceased sons Vw stuff, okay... most of it 
was useless Bug stuff anyway... so I bought the '67 Westy from the 
living son/owner along with a couple of OE wood slat bug roof-racks and 
a couple of tow bars ( one bug and one maybe bus...)coupla 
tranny/gearbox units, spare motor, and yet undiscovered things that "go 
with the camper"... the guy is kinda tickled that someone would want to 
Restore this "tired old bus"...

		Now my problem... I already own a low mileage '64 Deluxe 
Bug that needs about $1500-$2000 to make it a nice little car... Rock 
solid floors, etc.  needs minor body work, paint, and new interior( it's 
the cloth pinstripe...)

		the bus is a late '67 Westy pop-top: COMPLETE... 
everything including childs cot... all interior equipment was removed in 
'73 and put in storage( Excellent condition) bus has been sitting 
outside in a field since '73 and was used to store early Bug sheet 
metal... before it was parked it had a minor right side brush with a 
tree...floor on right side behind passenger side divider has fair sized 
hole thru... cargo door sills are weak and sagging...door posts have 
little or no rust/structural damage... frame seems to have surface rust, 
but didn't find any rust thru ( bringing it home thursday, will be alot 
more thorough then...)roofrack is a full rack with middle section 
removed to fit around pop-top(very well done...) a little rust but not 
bad...
	Wife says I can only keep one... Roofracks are already spoken 
for at $400 ea...keeping what I think is a early bus tow bar...

	I want to keep the Bus,but it is gonna cost much more to Bring 
back to 100%...( I figure at least $3000-$5000)

		What should I do...???  I have someone who is interested 
in The Westy complete... I also have someone who wants the Bug, but for 
alot less money...

			HELP....

	reply soon as the bus is coming home Thursday and wife wants a 
decision by end of Weekend....
