I'm saving this! But need a long-term storage/work space.
After years of admiring this abandoned panel, I was recently told I could have her if I wanted her. Well, I already named her. Miss Zora has a sister.
As always, finding a place where she can be stored long-term while I earn money to start the repairs is a huge challenge. I just want to fix the rusted out areas so I don't fall out while I'm driving and make her drivable and street legal. MZ has been a multi-year labor of love so I'm used to moving slowly.
The move doesn't have to happen right away but by August? Maybe we could make a camping trip out of it. The bus is on property adjacent to Gorgerunner's. I have a lead on a space in Washington and just happen to have a portable garage.
Meet Ruby!

Nice score Paige! I too dream of the pound puppy rescue! And when I think of Ruby, I think of:misszora wrote:

Uh oh...
I'm busy for the next century!
Make sure you have a title, it is hell getting it registered without it or a bill of sale.

Yeah, I do have to do a title search but I do know how to get a hold of the previous owner.
She won't be ready for for registration for quite some time. I'll start working on that soon.

Love it Paige,

Nice! I think you're gonna need more than a place store it though...
A labor of love. Some people just don't get the motivation for projects like this, but I do. What an awesome task to bring that back to life!

Never turn down a free bus. That's an investment that will pay off in many, many ways.

Re: I'm saving this! But need a long-term storage/work spac
I just thought of something else... do you know any pilots or otherwise anyone who works at one of the local airports (Troutdale, Hillsboro, etc.)? The reason I ask is sometimes FBO's (Fixed Base Operators, aka companies that own airplane hangars at airports) might be willing to loan or rent very inexpensively a corner of a hangar that it otherwise unusable space. Some of the benefits are obvious (warm and dry), but airplane hangars are very secure and there are people that work in them that have very useful skills (like welding and metal fabrication). Aviation folk are also suckers for tradition and "The Golden Age of..." and might take a shine to someone willing to restore a piece of the past.
Like I said, just a thought.
