Indeed - Big Blue is back on the road and pulling out of town and getting him into fourth gear was a great feeling. Good to be back in the saddle!

Brett, as others have said, yes, this sums it up pretty well. I'm working on rebuilding the same type 4 for my 75 bus for the third time in the last year for various reasons. Did I mention how type 4 parts are just falling off the trees? I haven't mentioned the woes of my Beetle. At least my 71 camper is running great...for now. Keep the faith and it'll all be worth it when you're crusing in Big Blue once more.

As a past US President used to say, "I Feel your pain!" Great story and shows how addicted we get to these air breathing, rear engined, fossil fuel burning rides. After all that, you will still love that bus! Thanks for the laugh and reality of owning one of these "cute" vehicles.

That's exactly how it goes! I know have a policy of giving every system on a new VW a thorough inspection, which usually leads to a total replacement immediately after the purchase. I also refuse to let anyone else perform any work on them. That seems courageous until you consider how simple they can be to fix.

VW Bus ownership 101.
Excellent post Brett. I could feel your frustration bleeding thru your story.
Another genuine VW tale that should be mandatory reading for all the wanna be's out there. Take heed.
Bus ownership requires the patience of Job; the stamina of a horse; and when the going gets tough....cough up a few more shekels.
But at the end of the day.......yes...it is an endeavour worth furthering.
Cheers,
Glen

Thanks for the great read. I laughed/smirked through the whole thing--not because I find your frustration funny, but because it is so familiar. :-)

I'm excited to see Big Blue back on the road (of course, by "road" I mean pictures of roads...on the internet).
