Getting Started

Action Paint Pic

I started getting the bus cleaned up this week.  I was feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the projects that are suddenly now a priority – I haven’t quite quit my job yet, but the pace of bus work will be fast a furious from now on!

I decided to start by wire wheeling the back luggage area.  This should be a pretty easy introduction to the labors of VW bus restoration, and getting it done will feel like I’m making progress.

Hours of work later… and I’m not done yet…

Grinding is a lot of work!

Looking good!

More hours, more sweat.

Whew!

The end result is a proper luggage area that is clean and primered.

Finished!

My shipment of funky green metal from Klassic Fab (via bustoration.com) arrived – looks like I’ll be welding soon enough!
