Back in the day when the gasstation was a gasstation and not a supermarket.
Picture from last year, photoshoot with the bus. Dont miss our YouTube channel if you are a VW bus freak like we: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC0-_ywSTyR4m9n7uqoeiwzQ

Slow with updates? Thats because I have been busy doing bodywork on the Highroof bus. A very boring, dusty and time consuming work. But now its in surffacer/filler/primer and ready for more sanding again, and hopefully thats it before paint. Paint for roof (white) and body (VW L20a Marino yellow) is bought. Still have all the doors and lids to do also! Got some new parts too, new lids for electric 240v hook up and fresh watertank filler with lock. A Vitrifrigio C60 fridge in stainless will chill the drinks and food nicely, its 60 liters and 10,5 liter is freezer. Danfoss compressor of course!
Painted the roof on a Dodge Van camper today. It was huge! Painters nightmare…
Sometimes you must work on new modern/boring cars, but now the dailydriver is ready for the winter! And a MAINDRIVE STICKER in the backwindow…
Have nice weekend!
Have started the bodywork on the Highroof bus, preparing for primer and paint. Lots of sanding to do, when that is done it’s time for a coat of epoxyprimer again, to protect bare metal, then a quick sanding before a coat of surfacerprimer is layer down. Then it needs to be sanded down all over again. Then probably another coat of surffacerprimer again and then maybe it’s time for topcoat paint in VW L20a Marino yellow. A lot of people think it’s just mix paint and spray, but it’s not like that…only in fantasy!
Test fitted the Fiamma Turbo Vent 28×28 on the bus, better before than after paint! It has a built in fan on 12v that can blow out or in fresh air. Will be nice on warm summer days and night I think.
Built this VW Beetle from a empty shell, back in 2010. Custom frontbeam, 3 splines in the rear, new industrial engine and dropped on polished Torque wheels.
VW steering wheel lock (option) for early Beetle. Check out 4sale section for more info…

After a weekend of work on the bus roof its now in primer! Finally. It needed a ton of work, was alot of gelcoat cracks that needed to be sorted. And the left rear corner of the roof had been hit earlier in the bus life and needed to be fixed up nicer. Will test fit a new Fiamma rooflight/ventilation and then I can continue with the bodywork on rest of the bus. Looking forward to paint! But still a long way and lots of hours left…
Some of the boards in the garage office. Neptune deck is signed by Jason Jessee, the framed original Santa Cruz poster is signed by artist Jim Philips, Jimbo Philips and Johnny Mojo (who designed/painted the Neptune board). A piece of skateboarding history right there!
Here is some news on the build. Got the fuel tank installed today. With new fuelfiller neck, feeder hose, sender unit, tap and filter. Also replaced all rubber hose connections for the tank ventilation. Next time I will start bodywork on the huge roof…lots of fun…
The Ghia body is now inside the garage, after been standing outside the last couple of years. Hopefully I can start little with this project in 2017! Have a lot of Porsche parts waiting for it 🙂
In the early 1980s when the first Bugrun meeting was held here in Sweden, it was just 1 Ghia there. It was this one!
