In this episode of DubLife Diaries Joe interviews Jaye Foster, a self‑taught VW bus builder and owner of an air‑cooled shop in Chattanooga The Bus Stop, about how a lockdown garage project turned into full‑time nomad life. Jay recounts trading for buses, rebuilding a 1977 “Nugget,” long road trips, close calls, and the vibrant nomadic and VW communities that shaped his journey.
The episode covers wrenching tips, running cars on the road, the realities of van life, and Jaye’s advice to keep these classics driven and cared for — summed up in one simple motto: never give up. Tune in and don't miss this one.
