The Blue Goose

I found this 1980 air-cooled Westfalia Vanagon in a farmer's field in Elora, Ontario.  It was a rust bucket but it had low mileage and I imagined restoring it and driving it across Canada.  With help from many different mechanics, I stripped it down and rebuilt it from the ground up.  It took just over 7 months and cost me more, in dollars and sanity, than I anticipated. The Blue Goose looked great in the end and if I had the chance to do it all over again…I wouldn't.
