My 1967 VW Camper
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.

It’ll buff out…right?
From the Chump Change Customs ‘56 at Kelley Park this year.

A Facebook friend of mine came out from Reno to Half Moon Bay to buy this.
Yes, buy. In his words, as they dragged it up onto the trailer the driver’s side fell off!
Best Facebook Comment: Holy fuck!

pump-up-the-valium asked you:i traded a 68 square back for it, the only bad part is that its on the fence with being the right amount of rust and fading, and being to much rust and fading so m probably gonna get a painter to paint the logos back on after it gets painted, but other then that the treasure chests are amazing, the gates are good, the fronts beet up a bit but nothing serious.
Well, to find a bus these days without some nose damage, that’s rare. Look through my pages here…I’ve completely replaced the nose of my bus (with one from a single cab, no less!).
Depending on where the dents are, you can actually stick a deflated football behind the dent, slowly inflate it, and actually pop the dent out!
But really, don’t fear the rust unless it’s in the frame rails or rockers. All that can be fixed eventually and shouldn’t affect overall driveability. It may means some water gets in during wet weather, but remember this paradigm: You now own a bus! The bus market is doing better than the housing market! Don’t let that bastard go!

Love the rust, the hammeredness, and the off-road-ness.

Cancer of the Day - Discovered some serious seeeeerrrrriiiiiooooouuuuussss rot in my rear hatch on Sunday morning and stood dumbfounded at it for about 10 minutes, wondering what to do.
Thankfully, our host at this Pre-Shasta Wrench Weekend pulled a loaner hatch for a burn victim bus and we managed to get the window into it and the hatch onto my bus for the time being.
