Think you’re having a bad day? At least your brake booster isn't filled with soda! 🥤 We are DIYing our 1973 VW Bus repairs after a shop quoted us $16,000. We’re doing the whole job for about $4,000 because ladies have to learn too! Today we pulled the brake booster and found a nasty surprise. Two things to remember about brakes: There should be ZERO fluid in your brake booster. Brake fluid is supposed to be clear/yellow... ours looks like straight Coca-Cola.

I’m a 60-year-old woman on a mission to restore my 1973 VW Bus — without paying the outrageous $16K repair estimate I got from a “reputable” shop! My boyfriend and I are tackling every fix ourselves, spending under $4K total. 🚐💪 In today’s short, I’m talking about repairing the ignition — a small step on our big DIY VW adventure. If you love classic cars, thriftiness, or proving that age is just a number, you’re going to love this journey. 👉 Subscribe to follow along as we bring this vintage beauty back to life, one part at a time! #VWBus #ClassicVan #VanLife #DIYMechanic #WomenWhoWrench #Over60AndKillingIt #VintageCars #VWRestoration #IgnitionRepair #BudgetBuild

We’re taking a "mental health day" away from the 1973 VW Bus restoration! 🚌💨 While we’re saving $12,000 by doing our own repairs, we decided to spend some of that "saved" energy on one of Arizona’s most iconic hikes: Picacho Peak. If you’ve never been, it’s a steep one! Between the Hunter Trail and those famous steel cables, it was quite the workout for this 60-year-old and her boyfriend. It’s important to step away from the project sometimes so you can come back with fresh eyes and a steady hand. Beautiful views, sore legs, and a great day in the Arizona sun. Tomorrow, we get back to the bus! SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey of DIY repairs, desert adventures, and proof that life only gets better at 60! 🛠️🥾 #PicachoPeak #ArizonaHiking #VWBusLife #ActiveSeniors #HikingArizona #DesertLife #DIYRestoration #LadiesWhoHike #HunterTrail
