Description This is my grandpa's old bus, its been sitting out by the old house for decades now and I decided to take a few pictures of it.
So I took a look at it, and from what I can see without getting bit by a snake, is the following.

Four flat tires
Missing engine block
Rusted/Rotted out floor
Missing wiring
No seats
Rusted gears
Busted WIndows



As you can see here, the inside is thrashed to bits, the floor is rusted, there's holes in the back on both sides and near the driver's side, and there are no seats whatsoever inside of it. It used to be a Chicken Coop... Yeah I know, blame my gramps the entire floor needs to be replaced I think.

Definitely redeemable. Can't wait to see more photos.

You could probably rip out the floors, weld some light gauge steel tubing all across the bottom and lay down some plywood. If you're feeling really cheeky get some laminate wood flooring to go over top and make it look like a fancy apartment!

I have a few more of the inside, I may go back outside and get the hood up to look inside it to see if anything's living in it 8D hahaha.

That sounds pretty neat XD it sounds good enough for this old rig. The Brony Rig!
...
I am naming it that if my grandma will let me have it I don't see why not.

I wish you all the best! I "inherited" my Chevy. It was my great grandfather's truck at some point in history and it slowly made its way to me.

Thanks man, thanks! hahaha, I'd love to drive it to a Bronycon, pimped out with Ponies all on the sides and inside, blasting delicious Vinyl Scratch wubs XD

Really now? that's awesome!

I'd love to see that bus at BronyCon. Granted you'll spend about 2 years on that bus unless you have 6000 in cash just laying around.

I actually drove my '72 International to BronyCon back in 2014.

I'll probably spend more then two, knowing my luck xD 6K? Good night...
Worth it! Hehehe, I plan on fixing up my Mazda first, and using that to get a job with so I can save money for the bus.

Really? Awesome! Also, I saw how far you came with your old truck, I like it!
I approve.

Thanks buddy! If I end up going to BronyCon alone this year I may end up driving the Chevy.
