Progress ... feels so good

Post by Bugfest »

I look at my old post and realise how long its going on for already... Luckily i married right !

I just got my recently acquired 69 crew cab running ... need some parts and serious bodywork though but it will come with time.

after 10 years of dealing with rotten okes things are starting to turn around. For the guys who can do things themselves... i salute you.

I drove my bus for the 1st time yesterday... boy it felt good... only around the block and already the VW love from strangers came pouring in... warts and all.

Motivation is back ...

Where is the serious bodywork? I would leave the patina and use her as she is
No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
