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 :)

Suzanne is lookin' mighty fine (after a whole lotta sanding)

Suzanne is finally showing her original colours.
We have to admit that we had NO idea how much work went into a paint job!
Lots and lots and lots of sanding and taping.
Here is the result:

Wet-Sanding the Primer

Sealing all the seams

More Seam Sealer

Wrapping her up

Fox Red

Lookin' Foxy without the masking tape and paper


Masking off the red

Doesn't look like much to paint

Date Brown

And again

Now She is Two-Toned

Another view

Clear Coat

Lookin' Mighty Fine!

We still have all the doors to do in base colour and clear.  Final Assembly coming up too!
Cheers
