1976 Hi-Top VW Bus- I got one...
Recently, I had the chance to fix up my 1977 VW Bus.
It needs work, as they all do. I was going to take some money and try to finish it.
It's been a slow process and I feel guilty about not putting more effort into to it.
So, when I had the chance to put some time and money into the 77Bus, I didn't....
Instead, I picked up a bus that I had been watching on www.thesamba.com for about a year..
It's a 1976 Hitop VW.
It has a fiberglass shell on the top of the bus, and the ceiling has been removed, to allow more head room.
I really like the look of the HiTop. It's tall enough to stand in, it has storage, and personality.
It has a skylight, roll out windows and a cathedral ceiling.
It has closets and storage areas, it's like a small house.
Perfect for camping. Personally, I don't think that sleeping on the ground is camping.
That's what animals do. I'm smarter than an animal.
Plus, I'm scared of them. Most will claw your eyes out.
I'm not an animal so the ground, bugs, rain, wild animal attack thing- is not a pleasant thought for me.
In the safety of the bus, with all the usual comforts, camping may be fun.
So it begins........I'll post pictures and try to document progress on enhancements on things I do the bus...
If I have guest writers for this blog, they will post in a different color text. This blog is going to encompass a bunch of different things, they will mainly be related to VW bus stuff.
