first little week end trip with the bus

we lost 4 week to find that our break issue was from a brand new ATE master cylinder ... :roll:

but now all is ok

1st pic nic

at a local vintage car meet , but too warm ( 98°f )

brake are ok , so let climb to 3000 ft

now we'll work on the interior

have a nice day vw friend

Your French picnic shot looks almost identical to my camping photo from a couple of years ago. Funny how landscapes transcend continents.

Doesn't look like you will be running heater boxes to warm up the cabin of the Bus?

some photo from a test trip about 70 miles last week end

in a area called the 1000 ponds , also le " little finland "

we pass under the farm access

a chaptel , the road is a nordic ski slope when the snow is here

a virus is killing a lot of tree

now we can go " offroad " ;)

perfect place for a pic nic

la mer = the sea .... but we live in the farest region in france from sea or ocean

this time i work on the carboard of the bus ... more detail next time
