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 :)

A little bit more

Here's the lot for today:

I particularly like my use of a coke can (I suspect my sister-in-law will too!)

Upstairs Bed - "Before"
Upstairs Bed - "After"                                                
Look: the skin for the rear lower panel is on!
Right side pillar is re-built and the bumper mount fits!
View from below (left side)
From the back- ready to install the rear quarter!!

:)

Engine support bar and the rails for the front cot (watching paint dry)

Only one piece of engine tin to go after these ones!

Engine front cover (both haves) -duh
There was only one flap for the vents at the bottom of the cover so, out came the coke can and the side cutters

Not too bad eh?

Tomorrow:  Master cylinder and proportioning valve and steering box.  Hopefully painted undercarriage as well.

Ta Ta!
