Well, I'm bored, so I'm finally getting around to doing this.
Bought the '67 almost 3 years ago.
Transmission rebuild shortly after buying.
Daily Drove for nearly a year and a half. Rain, shine, or snow.
Becoming "The Signature Bus"
Meeting the Original Owner and his family
Rolling Deep into Florida
Time spent at the Body Shop
Paint...
Reassembly...
Getting lowered
Chillin down in Florida
Gotta love the beach
Being Strapped to a Dyno. My 1600 made a whopping 44hp.
VW Dealership in Birmingham, Alabama and rolling home
As seen after Charlotte Transporter Show 2
Had a friend take this picture while we were rolling through Charlotte...
More to come once I dump more money into the bus... _________________ -Andrew |

It would be heartbreaking to lose all those signatures, but in the end, it was the right choice. Bet the OG owner was happy to see it still around! |
