Thanks John.

I didn't get to do anything tonight. I had to go order a part for my g/f's car. I also had to watch the show for VDubTech's bus. Awesome show.

Well I started putting the front together last night and didn't get it all together before dark so I decided to finish it this morning even though my back is killing me.I think my son hurt it when he jumped on me last night.I'll have to go get some pills or something after bit. That is if I can get out of this chair again.

Anyway I got the front together except for the bumper and the windshield.Here are some pics.

Here is a shot of the side with the rack on. I really need to paint the whole top now.

Hopefully before I go back to work Wednesday night I can get some more done. That's if my back is better.

More to come.

Put the bumper on this morning. It actually looks like a bus again.

More to come.

Thanks John. I just hope this thread will help someone with their bus. Westy or Transporter. I hope to do another bus in the future. Maybe a splitty this time.

Not to much. My 2 yr. old son jumped on me Sun. night and hurt my back. I'm still nursing it so I can't do much. I plan on cleaning out the front of the bus as soon as I can get around better.I also plan on pulling the wiring harness out of the blue bus and probably put it in.We'll see what happens. I'm going crazy here. I wanna work on it but I'm sore as hell so I can't move to good.I'll get some done soon.

If I set on a chair or up moving I'm not hurting to bad. As soon as I lay down and try to get back up is when it hurts the most. Hopefully it gets better soon. I have to go back to work tomarrow night so I'll have to live with it. Should be ok in a few days.

It is a mess. I don't have anywhere else to put the stuff so it has to stay in the bus. Someday I'll have a garage and I won't have to worry about that anymore.

I am the same way, no garage or storage unit either, so all my camping stuff is still in the Bus.

I have all my tools and stuff in them plus all my parts from the 74 I cut up and a bunch of other junk. I'm going to have to go through them before the snow flies and get everything sorted and cleaned up. I won't know what do once I get my yard cleaned up.

Well I took the hatch off the blue bus and repainted it today. Here is some pics.
Started with this.

Sanded down.

Primed.

Painted

On the Westy.

I should have let it dry some more before I put it back on cause I put my fingers on the edge of the driver's side and have black marks on it now

Hopefully it'll wipe off once it is fully dried.
Next will probably be the slider.
Stay tuned.
