1966 VW Bus Walk Through Project NO RESERVE

So I bought this sight unseen with just a few pictures, and it turned out to be a bit more of a project than I can deal with at the moment.
It does have rust that needs attention. Floor footwell section, passenger dog leg, rocket underneath the cargo doors, bottom of cargo doors is the majority of it. The roof has a few dents, but not rusty. The drip rails are good.

Bus has both the m-code plate, original color sticker, and vin plate still attached.

I have an original FO code long block engine that goes with it, should be the original 1300.
No engine is in the bus. It does roll and steer.
The passenger side door is in the van, but needs metal work at the hinge.

I bought it without a title, just a bill of sale. This will be sold with a bill of sale as well. It has not been registered in over 15 years.

Please ask any questions. If you'd like additional photographs, please ask.

Anybody local in Southern California is more than welcome to come see the bus in person. I'm happy to work with anybody who would like to get this shipped.
