In order to make bus life more sustainable, we had to make some upgrades. Check out the beautiful new cabinets we built, plus learn all about our power upgrades!
We’ve officially hit the road and…the road has officially hit back. This post ends on a sour note as we sustain a little damage to our front end. Bus life!
To begin our camper build, we need to insulate the sheet metal to help keep our camping space a little more comfortable! Here’s our how-to, including what we used and why we used it!
We installed new window seals in our VW bus, since the old ones were disintegrating. It proved to be more challenging than we thought, but eventually our persistence prevailed!
We finally made it to the phase of our camper build where we adding things to the interior (instead of stripping things out)! We’re starting with paint, and we’re suckers for punishment so we did it all twice. Find out why, click to read more!
The odometer has been a constant plague. The little plastic odometer gear was broken when we bought the bus, and we fixed it 3 times. It looks like this final fix is actually working!
We were shocked to find out that our windshield was being held in by the force of the wind against it and the pressure of the wiper blades, and probably a healthy dose of fear. Here’s an installation guide for the windshield of a 1976 VW bus.
We’ve been doing a lot of work on the bus, so here’s an update of what we’ve found. It’s pretty clear that the guy we bought it from didn’t do any work on it other than to keep it running. The more we dig, the more work we find. So it’s pretty much a normal VW bus.
