Already looking better. Poor bus has sat neglected… WTf caused that? I probably suck and you all should find some more professional types to do work for you… what a bummer. Sat outside Everyday and night..???? Boy that OG Westy rack really should find its way onto an of camper roof I have the tags and all

Whatever Jones… you can’t get out of this shit that easy…You and your team have built some of the most badass VW’s on the planet… so…I’d chalk it up to that thing being outside in the 110 degree temperature swing we have here in the happy valley.

I agree John. Gotta save them 100%. If you are putting your name on it… it has to be your way or no way… Ive always thought auto restoration shops that roll cars in the paint booth and put covers over the tires and mask the windows are not restoration shops.  I’m glad to have been watching you doing them right for the last few decades!

Your place is looking awesome!! I love the transformation! The wall colors, wood trim on the doors and windows, and beams look amazing!

What kind of decor are you going with? Kind of a Southwestern Mexican interior?

Its crazy but.. my mom was just telling me the other day she used to work at Colescotts back when she was very young. Used to walk there every day after school from 8th and Chipeta In downtown Grand Junction.

Congratulations Audrey!! That is an awesome spot! I actually have been in that house doing cable.. I have a really funny story about it!

I was called out there for a VCR not working.. which is funny.. because we don’t work on VCR’s..but i figured i would help the old guy out that lived there. So.. He took this VHS tape out of the sleeve.. I remember it was Top Gun… He popped it in the VCR and i once got the right input switched..it started playing..  and it definitely wasn’t Top Gun and right then his wife walked in the room.. and..let me tell you.. the volume was up and the picture was right up on the TV..

The wife was like.. what in the world are you watching, and the old guy said.. “i just got this from Goodwill its not mine”.. Either he really did and someone stashed that XXX video in that sleeve and it made its way to Goodwill and that guy thought he was buying Top Gun,or that’s where he stashed his stash.. …

So.. Seriously.. every time i drive by that house i think of that story and how that old guy turned beet red!.. and now you own it!! Its a very cool spot..cant wait to see what you guys do to it!
