The cover for the seat back is done, the pad for the seat base is assembled. Need to attach the side panels to that for completion.

My feeble attempt to chronicle the trials and tribulations of restoring my 1970 VW Westphalia camper bus.

The Bus
About this Project:
I bought this bus in August 2009. It was located in a small town just outside of Kalamazoo MI. called Galesburg. It had been in storage there for several years. Prior to that it was in Wisconsin for a while, Minnesota for a while and it originally came up North from California.
About the Author:
I have been an Engineer in the automotive industry for more than 30 years. Prior to that, I worked for several years in my dads body shop. I am a serial do-it-yourselfer. I will attempt almost any project just for the learning. I have restored several cars, owned several V-dub's, but never a bus. I have always wanted a bus, I don't know why, they just look like fun. I am looking forward to this crazy little adventure.

ReplyDeleteA few blogs back you repainted your engine
tin - Nicely done!
I'm now in the process of repainting all my tin :)
Thanks for the Inspiration!

I was very happy with the results. I knew if I needed to have the engine out, I would have to "neaten" things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words.
