Well, I did it. I convinced my hubby to take the bus on a travel vacation!! We started off going camping with some other bay window bus friends. We went to Guallala Point Regional Park to camp for 2 nights. All packed and ready to go. Nice and sunny! Although earlier in the trip we did...

This last weekend, Aug. 9-11th. We set out on our journey to McKinleyville CA for the Humbugs VW Show. This was the farthest I have driven the bus. A little over 600 miles round trip. Thought I'd share some pics of the trip with you all. :D For the most part I followed my hubby who was...

Well, we saved another bus today. :D We actually found it at a swap meet. The people had a pic of it on a board with several other cars. We asked about it and got their info and we finally managed to go look at it today. My husband calls it "Bobby's Bus" because he thinks it is his. Everyone...

Ok guy's, not sure if this is the appropriate place for this, but I didn't think it fit in "General" or "Technical" and I didn't see an "Off Topic" area, so I put it here. Please move it if it is in the wrong spot. :D Anyway, I have a thing for the windsock poles in your guy's area (UK). A...

Today I was looking at my Busdepot slider door seal. I went out and looked at my bus's old seal and figured out how the new one goes. I decided to put it in pics. :D Hope this helps others. The over all seal. Looking at it as if you were looking at it in the bus. All the pics are...

Picked up a 71 Westy today! It is in great shape as far as rust, only the battery tray and driver floor has a little rust. As far as dents, just the rear to corners are bad. There is one almost not noticeable dent in the front by the bumper! It is missing all of the westy interior. We...

I would like to see and hear about your surfboards mounted to your VW. What ever VW you have. I hope that is ok to ask for "any" VW in this section?? If not can a mod move this to a more appropriate section? I am just getting started in carrying surfboards on my VW's and am looking for a good...

I love to drive my bus. I drive it every chance I can when the weather is dry. Today hubby had asked me to go get pizza and bring it back to his work for lunch. So I drove the bus to get the pizza. All was fine until I went to turn into the tow yard. I had to slow down to almost a slow crawl to...

Today my club I am in put on a VW car show! It was supposed to be thunder and lightening today, but it turned out to be sunny and partly cloudy. It did rain on us one time but only for a short bit and then it was back to the partly cloudy again. For the first show the club put on, it didn't turn...

I wasn't sure where to put this so I decided it was a General. LOL I drive my bus (bay window) to work and back in the wee hours of the morning or nights. I am having a hard time keeping warm, so I decided to buy me a Mr. Heater to use on my commute. It arrived today and I decided to see how...

Man this sucks! I just figured out that I had put the wrong numbers in the M Code reader. I was wondering why my Paint color was coming back as "unkown" but when I looked at other peoples read numbers, they had a paint color. I did some searching tonight and figured out I put the wrong numbers...

Today I found a light at hubby's work. I want to attach it to the front bumper and use it as a spot light! Hubby say's it's an old back up light though. If the light that is in it doesn't work out, maybe I can find a spot light the same size! I just like the size of it and the fact that it looks...

Where do you guy's find all the badges? Like in the photo below. I've seen them (in pictures on this site) on bumpers too. I really like them and would like to start looking for some for my bus! Just need to know what they are? Oh, and I hope I put this in the right area? Since I now know...

I have a question on some of the stuff in my 70 Westy. I am totally new to this type of bus so I have know idea what these things are or what they are used for. Also, is there somewhere on the web that one can see a copy of a brochure for the bus when it was new? Something that kind of tells the...

I got my first BayWindow Bus yesterday! (9-3-11) My hubby (Bob) is friends with the guy that runs a wrecking yard, and he had told Bob about a Bus they had there. So Saturday we went to check it out. I wasn't excited at first because they guy was calling it a van. I figured it was a Vanagon. I...
