Title: Everyone ready for summer driving?
Post by: kinggeorge13 on March 23, 2019, 07:28:00 AM
I opened this bus for the first time this past week after being stored all winter (full of bus stuff) and I had all the doors open to let it air out and then I hear a commotion behind me.  I turn around there is Russell my dog already hopped up into the passenger seat on her own figuring it must be time to go for a drive.   She's too cute.

Bus: 1979 Kombi.   Green and white.   Waiting for restoration.  Was a runner last summer until it's brake pedal started going to the floor.  Driving around using just the emergency brake seemed dangerous so I parked it.   A lot of rust (a theme with my buses) but the most annoying is the bottom of the large metal roundish "bracket" that under the torsion bar has rusted through..... 

Dog:  Russell.  Female.  Four years old.  Stabyhoun/Lab mix.   She is the happy result of someone's plan to breed their super-rare Stabyhoun female until Russell's dad made it over the fence....
