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 :)

She runs!! Better!!

So after an extensive hide and seek session, we think we have tracked down the issue. Wait... Let's look at the pics...

It seems that Mofoco can't build heads. A sticky #1 exhaust valve guide cratered and here is the result. 

We put a different head on and changed the oil and here we go. She purrs like a kitten

We are pretty stoked. Gonna go for a rip tomorrow!

Our new pup Lemmy (Jasper's nephew) seems OK with the sleeping quarters!
