Depends, if the family goes or decides they will show up. I want to drive the EZ Camper. But then again, if it is going to be 140 degrees in the shade, I'll drive the Vanagon with the A/C.

Are you going to leave the interior as-is, or put in a nice Westy camper interior?

I'll probably put a rubber mat in the cargo area and start using it as a daily driver. This won't be made into a camper by me. I kinda like the originality of it.

Randy, That bus looks sweet, I'd roll that all day long. Doesn't seem to be any rust or vary little.

Brad came over last night to top off the grease in his 61. When we were finished he was looking at this bus and said we should strip the latex paint off it and see what it looks like. Stripped off a small spot and the original paint looks great and shines right up. Looks like a paint stripping party in a week or two. Pictures to follow.

I have the master cylinder installed and will be doing the front brakes and gas tank next week.
