Wilson the VW bus
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”.
Episodes
I have been building VW buses lately… a lot of them… and they are all tiny. Stick around to see if you can get your hands on one.
One bus to rule them all, one bus to find them, one bus to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. No, I haven't slipped into a narcissistic delusion about Wilson, I simply made a connection between my VW bus and my favorite literary work.
Wilson came home from Flanders making a strange noise, and that started my week-long pulley dilemma. Stay tuned.
Wilson smashes into a speed bump at full speed, and thus the pitfalls of a lowered VW bus are once again brought to my attention.
Summer vacation, new work projects, car shows and the Flanders all air cooled gathering camping trip… I’ve been so busy with Wilson that I forgot to record a podcast about it. I’ve got some catching up to do with you.
You know, one of the unknown difficulties of driving a vintage VW bus is trying to row through the gears while simultaneously holding a beverage. That’s because there is no cup holder in a split window VW bus… unless you make one.
The podcast takes a turn today, as we shift gears from VW bus life to VW bugs... and I have a special guest.
On this episode of Wilson the VW bus, I’ll let you in on my recent obsession with my vintage garage decor, we’ll talk about some magnetic Wilson attractions, and discuss Wilson’s new Sundial spice rack.
A lot has changed in my life. I’d like to make some big changes with the show for this season, so stick around and let's talk about it.
Have we survived the Flanders breakdown? Am I able to repair Wilson, or is this a catastrophic failure? Stay tuned to find out.
Wilson and I make the trip to the CJVWS All Air-Cooled Gathering in Flanders for 2024. The event is fantastic, but the trip home does not go so well.
Wilson has got the summer squeaks when it gets warm outside, and I think I know how to cure it.
What does a summer heat wave, rainouts, new spark plugs and a custom horn button have in common? Wilson and the summer of 2024.
Volkswagens, German food, and did I mention a biergarten? The June 7 Deutscher Club VW event was the place to be on a beautiful Friday evening.
Remember those 1,800 holiday lights that I put on Wilson back in December? Well, I never thought that taping them to the bus would cause me to have to do a bunch of paint repair on Wilson’s patina. Don’t worry, we still are not rocking a new paint job.
A controversial Volkswagen accessory on many ruined VWs is added to Wilson. Do you hate it? Do you love it? Do you have any idea what I’m talking about? Let’s hash it out on this episode of Wilson the VW bus.
I wanted to upgrade the wooden interior door panels of Wilson with some Westy blue-plaid inserts, and in this episode, I’ll tell you how I did it… and how I messed up.
On this episode of Wilson the VW bus, I come THIS close to getting my hands on a sweet 1962 VW beetle, and although I do not personally own it, it is still in the family.
Back by popular demand, we are kicking off season #4 of Wilson the VW bus with a brand new year… 2024. I’ve got a new addition to the family, and of course a few upgrades with Wilson.
On this final episode of season 3 for Wilson the VW bus podcast…we wrap up the 2023 year with a bit of holiday cheer, and wrap up Wilson with 1,800 LED holiday lights.
