The "reputable" shop estimate for Buster the Bus just keeps getting crazier. Today, we’re talking about the brakes on my 1973 VW Westfalia. The quote for a brake booster alone was a staggering $3,800. Instead of writing that check, I rolled up my sleeves (and did a lot of part-hunting). I managed to do the entire brake system—not just the booster—for only $267. I’m 60 years old, I’m learning as I go, and I’m proving that owning a vintage VW doesn't have to break the bank if you’re willing to do the research yourself. In this video, I’m breaking down the cost difference and why it’s so important to get a second opinion (or just do it yourself!). What’s in this video: The breakdown of the $3,800 brake estimate. How I sourced parts for the entire system for under $300. Encouragement for fellow Westy owners to take control of their repairs. #VWBus #1973Westfalia #BrakeBooster #BudgetRestoration #BusterTheBus #WomenWhoRepair #VWType2 #AircooledVW #DIYBrakes

Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!

Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures! If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends! SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/c/blownaway
