1960 Mango Walk Thru Most Metal Work Done !!! on 2040-cars

This is a 1960 walk thru Mango bus that has had most all of the lower metal work replaced and the paint touched up very nicely to match the original color .The bus has a later beetle motor that runs strong and the bus drives and stops as is . I have a link to many pics of the different metal work which is all very well done as far as the body goes it is very solid . The doors still need a lot of work , The drivers door frame is very rusty I think it needs to be replaced or maybe use this skin on another frame. There are two passenger doors the one on the bus now is ok but has dings but matches the bus . The two side doors both need work the inside top of the rear side door is very rusty . The hatch door has had some welding and is in OK shape but still needs some work .

The body has dings and a lot of surface rust on the upper parts but it is solid and has been treated with something to treat and stop further rust , IT IS NOT CRUSTY IT IS SOLID ONLY A COUPLE SMALL PIN HOLES . I have most window parts but missing a vent window and a couple side windows the glass is busted .  The Passenger back corner was dented  but has been dollied back out fairly smooth and the lower bottom corner is new metal but has not been Painted it has just surface rust . The long outter rocker has been welded but no bondo was put there just the welding smoothed and the touchup paint so its a little wavy but again it matches the look of the bus.The nice fellow I bought the bus from did all the work and had on planned on leaving it pretty much as is as far as the paint goes which it does look cool or you could touch up as much of the rusty parts as you wanted but I would try to keep it an original paint mango bus.

I only have the drivers seat back frame no other seat parts. The bus does shift but it needs all new shift bushings  but all gears work. The brakes do work fine and has had some brake work you can see in the pics. The wiring looks like it will work but most has not been tried out . It does have a very beat up back bumper.  Some of the underside needs to be rust treated and painted but all the rusty metal has been replaced. The Bus will start , drive and stop but needs work still to be a driver . This is a cool bus . I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE IT ONLY COMES WITH A BILL OF SALE IT HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD IN MANY YEARS . This may still be a long thread on the Samba about all the work done to this bus with many details about the work .
