Here are the rest of the 54 Bus pics for now.

Here you can kinda see the interior. This bus has the nicest original interior I've seen on a Bus so far. The middle and rear seat upholstery is in amazing shape, a few little tears but otherwise great. The side panels are this camel color with these sewn in pleats and black piping. There is rubber matting with an aluminum trim all the way around and some nice armrests for the passengers. I may leave all of this alone except for cleaning and re-attaching where things are coming down. I may try to fix the headliner as it's all there, just coming down in the very backand some small tears. The cargo floor is pretty shaky in spots but I'll fix that when I get to it. I'll add that those seats are damn comfortable! If it wasnt for the smell in there I could have gone to sleep!

Here's the nose. This is the scariest part of the Bus to me. You can see the rusted away section in the lower passenger side there and the dent in the bottom. I believe I saw a repair section for this somewhere, I'll have to look. If not I know of a junk Bus with a good lower nose and I'll just use that. The dunebuggy-ish turn signals are nice, they'll have to go naturally! Also, there you see that great antenna! The front bumper is pretty ugly but still useable, same for the back bumper.

I had to add a picture of this, it's just too cool in my opinion! This is a fuel dipstick for the Buses fuel tank! It's apparently an original VW part, I had heard of them but had never seen one before. It's in great shape, just dirty really. I found it on the spare tire shelf in the engine bay next to the engine crank handle. There was all kinds of nice stuff in there!
