Bay-Window Panel Bus at the: SHE-852 VW Cruise #9
DadaCheese
Sunday, October 25th, 2020
"SHE-852" Cruises are in the San Francisco Bay Area of California and are organized by Jason M.
"SHE-852" was the license plate of Jason's former bug (he's now driving an early RHD).
Any/All VWs are welcome 'though many/most tend to be air-cooled.
This is the second that we have been able to attend during Covid, and it has been great to have a safe, socially distant opportunity to enjoy our VWs and the company of other VWs.
This particular Cruise was from Concord (having met up in the morning near the Sun Valley Mall), over towards Port Costa then headed through Pinole on Bear Creek Rd. through Tilden and Grizzly Peak then through Canyon and then back down into Moraga and then to Orinda for some lunch at Europa Hoffbrau. It was only about 47 miles with nice scenic stops for photo ops and to see the views.

I had to separate the seat frames to do the upholstery. I figured out a way to simulate the pin as to keep it as correct looking as possible

I wanted the Panel to be as correct as possible and "add" the camper kit. So I installed OG style headliner
