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 :)

    Hello,
    i like your post, I saw that you changed the champagne edition front seats with nice modern seats.
    I have a champagne edition 1978 Bus and I am looking for the reddish headrest (which I saw you had).
    Will you sell me them?
    thanks,
    Gal
