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 :)

Some new parts are in!

After much frustration over being shipped the wrong floor, we have gotten our hands on a good one and it has been installed!!!!

No more Fred Flintstone driving for Suzanne:

Weeee!!!!!
Yippeee!!!!!!!!!
Right front wheel well, all patched and sealed
Right front door fitted back on so the wheel arch can go in
Left front door as above and cleaned up and treated
Rear: all the nasty insulation and glue is gone (might have been dog hair...)
WHAT!?!?!
Rear all cleaned and treated.  Needs holes spot-welded up - someone, somewhere decided to run a LOT of screws into random places
Starting to fix this rusty mess...
 The last annoying thing of the day: ripped my coveralls on the rear hatch catch (guess where!)
