MY BUS IS ON THE ROAD (Club Night, took the Club to WING NUTS IN Orem)

This is the Bus on her first night on the town.
Sam's Awesome Double Cab at WING NUTS in Orem,




The club at NUTZ
This is the guy that cleaned my engine compartment(also named Dave)
Dr. Dave worked extended hours to finish my Bus in time for me to show up in style to the club meeting today, I found out that I have a bad cylinder but I was still able to drive it today. I spent alot of money to get it where it is now. I would like to ask if there is anyone that would like to help out I would be very very appreciative. I have alot of T-Shirts in stock if you would like to get one, also any help at all I will do Art work for funds or if you would give donations that would be awesome!

THIS IS THE REAL THING.(also saying goodbye to the first drivingdreams bus)







Allright here is the latest update, I went and got my temp permit to be able to drive my bus this week. I went to work on my bus today and it was nasty, the transmission had over an inch of red mud caked all over the outside and the boots were cracked so it had caked inside to. I cleaned up as much as I could while I was there but I was sad to find that there were many more issues to address than I had hoped. I am a little over my head with the costs, I am currently really low on funds if there is anyone out there that would please buy some t-shirts that would be awsome, or if you could help out in any way possible that would be great! I will hopefully be able to drive my bus to the Wasatch Vintage Volkswagen meeting tommorow. It will be the first time I will be able to drive a Vintage VW to the meeting.

Working with Dave dropping the engine and gas tank


IN THE PHOTOS AND VIDEO: Brakes all cleaned ready for install, Dave pulling the gas tank after the engine finally came out, Video of nasty dirty engine compartment after years of neglect in the Moab sand, we found at least twenty wasps nests in every nook and cranny.



I got off of school and headed over to see Dave at Vintage German Motors. I asked if he would allow me to learn a thing or two from him on how to drop the engine and get to the gas tank. I found out first hand why I would pay someone to do just that, I worked at undoing two nuts for over an hour, I spent a total of two hours doing something that should have taken twenty minuets. It took that long due to the amount of Rust and decay, (oh and the fact that I am not experienced at this at all). All I know is without Dr. Dave I would have never and I mean never been able to get anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!! once again thank you out to Vintage German Motors.

Man "simple" things can be hard.

I spent along time today doing the last few things on my rag top. I have also got my bus insured today. I am now going to get an appointment with Doctor Dave at Vintage German Motors. He will have My Lady on the road in no time flat. I am also super excited to take my bus on the town.
