That looks like a really fun project. And it probably even makes economic sense, meaning you'd end up with something worth the dollar investment.

Would you restore it stock? Or install more power and better suspension/brakes to make it a better drive? A 911 motor would be cool, sure, but I imagine a Subaru boxer motor would fit better, be lots cheaper, and still give you plenty of power. I don't know if that is a capital crime in the Bus world?
