[QUOTE="Supertramp, post: 416335, member: 17169"] Hi Mike, When you say it needs welding, where does it need welding? Usually people look to US buses to avoid rust, but if they've been kept near the coast for example, then welding will probably be needed. I can only talk about my experience as I imported a 1969 deluxe. The bus was rust free apart from a patch on the cargo floor where water had leaked in from the 1/4 seal. Converting to UK spec lights + other bits and bobs/MOT cost around £150 if I remember correctly. Factor in you may need all new seals, I did as the Arizona heat had dried mine out - £700 for the full kit + fitting. My bus ran on unleaded from import so not sure about petrol conversion. Hope this helps. Paddy [/QUOTE]
