Purchased a 1970 VW Wesfalia Camper Bus

Now you're probably all thinking what were they thinking!  But to tell you the truth this has been our dream for a long time.  We are of the era of the Hippy Van and we're looking forward to touring around Ontario - if it can go that far - camping and seeing the sights.

I'm almost certain we will meet all sorts of interesting people on our journeys.  

The bus needs work to get it running in perfect condition.  We're already going to our first vintage VW swap meet and plan to join the VolksRUs Club to do the Beetle Crawl in Toronto.

For us this is like a dream come true.  Oh, okay, it's not perfect yet and it needs a custom paint job but that big VW insignia makes it all worthwhile.

There are many VW enthusiasts in Canada and we can't wait to meet them.

The best part will be customizing the interior.  Of course, we are already butting heads a little over what it should look like but we'll come to a compromise.

Of course, I'll be shopping on Bonanzle for parts and decor items - after all it needs curtains!!

I'll keep you up to date on our progress!!
