About the Blog


This is a running record of the work Jason and Lena are doing to bring a 1978 VW Bus back to life. She was very close to death's door when we bought her.

We now have a functional vacationmobile that we are taking on adventures. So, this blog has morphed into a travelogue sprinkled with our break-down stories and latest upgrades. Hopefully more of the latter!

Look back in the archive for ALL the work we did to get her where she is today.

Enjoy :)

Dry Rot!?!

The pop-top has been stripped, it seems that some ill-advised holes with poor sealing has resulted in some dry-rot/mold (Mike Holmes would be horrified!).  Should have it off to be repaired soon.

Worst vent install ever! - I was able to remove it without drilling out any rivets.

lining up the hardware (polished)

And... some progress has been made on the left side!

...and the inside
Currently, we are working on templates for other missing pieces, it also seems that we need some front jack-points :(
