I went up there recently to see if it was worth trying to save, but we decided it was way too much work for me to take on. My mom and I had a good cry sitting out in that camper reminiscing! Yours looks amazing! What year is it?Hello from Louisiana!

Man you are bringing back some incredibly fond memories for me Kristi! I learned how to drive in a '79 pea green VW campervan! We camped all over the East Coast in that camper. Even broke down in Alabama once and had to put a new engine in it. I loved that camper!! Now the poor thing is sitting in my mom's backyard falling apart. I went up there recently to see if it was worth trying to save, but we decided it was way too much work for me to take on. My mom and I had a good cry sitting out in that camper reminiscing! Yours looks amazing! What year is it?

Nic...thanks for the craigslist tip, I'll check it out. I already have the mural sketched out, but I'm not revealing the theme yet, LOL! 
Amy...learning to drive on a VW camper? Lucky you! I'm glad you have fond memories of your Bus. Maybe it could be resurrected as a parts donor for another Bus? Check out the VW classifieds at www.thesamba.com . I think there were a couple of running Westys available in WA recently and maybe a dozen or so regular Buses. Your TD would look great rolling down the road behind a VW Bus (hint, hint, hint).
My camper is a '79 and the sunroof Bus project is a '77.

I almost tried sending in my mom's information to Overhaulin' to see if they would take it on and fix it up. The only problem was that the engine wouldn't turn over any more. Yours looks absolutely incredible Kristi!
