This blog is dedicated to my daily driver, a 1967 VW Camper. It’s a conversion done by Riviera Motors in Oregon back in the 60s. I’ll update this with pictures, video, and stories of the work I do to it and the adventures I have in it.Tumblr (3.0; @vwcamper)http://vwcamper.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/085008c1f3c094feaf3c089b1b2f8f90/tumblr_monlguGvPC1qaneako1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://greasylens.tumblr.com/post/53374653131/woohoo-got-the-hazard-light-indicator-fitted" target="_blank">greasylens</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Woohoo!
