We are new skoolie owners. Purchased our 84 bluebird from a local church with 70k miles. It has been well cared for though it needs new floors. We are working on the exterior rust and have it under control and are halfway ish through removing the old floor after pulling the seats. So far so good.

We will need help along the way and if you see us in the Carlyle Illinois area, feel free to stop and say hello.

We will be traveling with our kids and pups hopefully by the end of the year.

Hopefully we will meet some of you along our journey!!!

have that 8.2 looked at before you get to far along.
they run like a sewing machine and pretty dependable until they dont and you have to go to the old timers to get them worked on because that knowledge didnt get passed alond over the years.
welcome
