Hippy-71

Hi Carl, I hope you dont mind me contacting you, but I am doing some homework on your old 71, as I am interested in buying it and keeping it on the central coast ( I live in Bensville). As you probably know, the bus is for sale again. I was interested in the work that you completed on 'grover' (great name). I understand that you thought that it required a new engine, and I was wondering if you ever got around in doing that?? The current owner (phil) said it was a 1600. Also, how extensive was the rust work. It has been completely re-sprayed now and looks quite 'polished'.. Anyway thanks for your time. "Ben from Bensville" :)
