You’re not going to paint it? Do even fit it there? Is this bus for sale? Do you have any weed? These are the types of questions I am faced with every time Wilson and I set out on a road trip adventure or just drive to work in my 1967 Volkswagen Type 2, split-window, tin-top, homebrew camper. Come join me as I explore the rusty side of vehicle restoration, VW bus life and anything else automotive here on “Wilson the VW bus”.
