No, that is just the low end price, with no customization:
"price is starting at $150,000 or for custom work $500,000"

Why didn't you take the time to paint the engine tins while you had the engine apart??? That Beetle pea shooter exhaust is incorrect for a bus. It will produce less torque then a merged header and you'll be sucking the exhaust fumes into the bus. A bus muffler should exit on the side of the bus.

i have quiet pack for it just need to find a header at a swapmeet. As for the tin that was the best tin i had available, if i find a better set i'll swap it out someday.. it still works for now..it is only a spare motor
yet..otherwsie that is the only muffler i had to try it with someday i'll get a bus one as for now i'll need to use this one..
this week traded a vw ruler for the correct original 10" chrome front emblum.
and i made up some tent poles for the original side tent.

Haven't posted here for a while so i thought i'd update you...
decided to give it that ratlook and swapped bumper with a more patina set that has the added bonus of a hitch..
also put on these patina rims for a more ratlooking bus..
try several different paints on spots. can't decide on what to paint it.. into..
any ideas??
otherwise gutted the interior and took most stuff off.. planning on getting it ready for a rad paint job.. thinking tyedye maybe..
took the motor out cleaned up the engine bay for paint
