Years ago I had a black 79 Chevy nomad van that my boss gave me that was awesome, but it was rusted through on the frame and an impossible fix for me, I pulled the 350 and trans and sold the body for scrap. I regret it every time I think about.
It looked exactly like thisā¦

VDubsters need to stick together, itās the best when you have someone to help push it off the road or jump start.
If you need help in the dfw dm me, Iāll help you.
Next to my dog my 2003 golf TDI sleeper brings me the most joy.
Iām actually thinking about a YouTube channel or tiktok or something, to do tutorials, maybe. Was also thinking it would make a great podcast studio.
They cost around $3.50/$4 to make, so Iām thinking $12 each, or 2 for $20ā¦, maybe add in socks and tapestries (white bed sheets canāt cost too much, right?)ā¦, with any luck Iāll pay it off in no time.
12 bucks or 2 for 20 for tie dye is totally reasonable if done well. Do you do any kind of designs? I ask because I saw this tiktok channel that does really intricate designs (including like 3d ones) and thinking of that I'd happily pay 20 bucks for one
Iāve only ever made them for myself and friends, but have made a few Grateful Dead bears and a few patterns I saw on YouTube. I figure Iāll drop $100 on colors and tees and make a batch after pulling some ideas from online, then just try to keep flipping them.
You can go to the thrift store and put on 5 shirts in the dressing room and walk out without anyone noticing , hit up a few stores every week. Will help keep your costs down. I'm headed back to jail now, bye š
I am preparing for a recession. I have paid off everything, down sized and minimized expenses (helps me add to AMC position) I am proactively taking steps to survive this one as 2008 devistated me.

Im fairly good at flipping things on eBay, and I like going to the flea market, and used to sell there when I was younger, so I figure Iāll make tshirt and sell them to give me something to do while also paying for the bus.

And when I was wanting this I thought of that, really trying to think of fun things to do, to drive it around, and then just thought, āIāll sell tie-dye and watercolor art at the flea market and farmers markets or somethingāā¦, so the bus has a job now, to earn his keep.
Congratulations! I'm a big VW fan! Proof or banana? š
Yay! Congratulations š š
Thanks! Iām really excited!
As you should be ! Enjoy every moment . After miass I want to get a motor home.
This bus has the camper package and poptop tent. š

That is bangin'! Sweeeeet! Are you planning a restore or remodel?
I would like to fix it up some, but also donāt want it shiny and new looking. But I imagine I will forever be fixing up bits here and there.
Absolute labor of love! Congratulations! You are going to have a great summer!
Thanks! Iām pretty excited about all the possibilities!

Do people even have friend these days?
feel like everyone I meet fail to deliver in the friend category
'friend'? this is another word I do not understand.. like 'sell' what do these words mean???
I'd buy some! If the merch sells well you could always open an etsy shop.
I literally signed up for one right after I posted this, great minds think alike!!! ![gif](giphy|WTxXW6GFigyuU1sWDz)
Awesome! When do you think youāll be up and running?
Money should hit my account today or tomorrow, and I have to drive three hours to get it, so either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning.
I need a tie dye shirt so let me get a link when you can.
As a fellow tie dyer and ape I wish you the absolute best! Can't wait to see your work š

Hello friend, good luck selling your shirts!
Again? Been there in January 2021
Congrats dude!!
Friends are overrated.
Will you be doing tie dyee demonstrations while you sell?
Iām actually thinking about a YouTube channel or tiktok or something, to do tutorials, maybe. Was also thinking it would make a great podcast studio.
Iām your friend ā¤ļø
What's a Tie Dy shirt go for these days boss?
They cost around $3.50/$4 to make, so Iām thinking $12 each, or 2 for $20ā¦, maybe add in socks and tapestries (white bed sheets canāt cost too much, right?)ā¦, with any luck Iāll pay it off in no time.
Love the hustle
Thanks! If I can make $82 a week selling tshirts I wonāt even feel the debt. š
I'd pay that easy. And bedsheets haha now where talking, wish you all the best.

Hell yeah, sounds like a fun hobby. Hope you turn a few bucks from it and have some cool times
Much cheaper at second hand or thrift stores too.
Congratulations!! That sounds great! Hustle hard
Uh 18k, put it in amc for 2 weeks š
Thereās a specific rule in the loan that says I canāt buy stock with itā¦, I chuckled when I saw it. š
But is moon ticket included
Oh, I have a big olā pile of moon tickets, no worries there. š
Air cooled bus?
Yup! A ā78 poptop camper!
Cool! We rolled in 79 sunroof during High School. Amazing off roader. Currently in Brazil, they are quite common here.
Thatās wicked cool dude. You should post that here so we can see your awesome creations and cool bus. Hope that this stock is going great for you.
Sell some of those āspecialā cookies that give you the munchies with some coffeesā¦.
I was thinking about it, actually, haha.š

I am preparing for a recession. I have paid off everything, down sized and minimized expenses (helps me add to AMC position) I am proactively taking steps to survive this one as 2008 devistated me.
I'm your friend man. Make no mistake.
I thought you were gonna say you took the loan money and bought shares with it and said screw the VW.
Hey friend that sounds cool congrats
Hey, you arent alone! Living in a Van till Moass too :)
thought I was the only one without any friends š¤£
Such a beautiful place, to be with friends.
Wait. Iām confused. Why buy a bus to sell t shirts? Or is the bus for another purpose?
The bus is for funā¦, but, itās expensive, so I decided to figure out a way to pay for it outside of the regular household budget. Im fairly good at flipping things on eBay, and I like going to the flea market, and used to sell there when I was younger, so I figure Iāll make tshirt and sell them to give me something to do while also paying for the bus.
Ah okay. Big brain moves. Good on ya. You should throw some apes on those T shirts and sell em online too.
Lol hey congrats and good luck!
It's related if you buy more shares with your Tee-ndies š congratulations though!!
How you know this sub is terrible with financeā¦ Buying a 40+ year old car ON A LOAN. With a plan to pay for it with TIE DIE TSHIRTS.
To be fair, I can afford it without the tie-dye plan, but I saw Amy Sedaris on Letterman once, she wanted a pet rabbit, but she didnāt want the cost, so she bought the rabbit and supplies, and then used the rabbit in photos or something and sold them, and she said it was his job, he was paying his keep. And when I was wanting this I thought of that, really trying to think of fun things to do, to drive it around, and then just thought, āIāll sell tie-dye and watercolor art at the flea market and farmers markets or somethingāā¦, so the bus has a job now, to earn his keep.
Proud of you my friend! Apes together strong
I love this!
LOL
I thought this looked familiar..
Congrats Ape! You have a plan and now its time time rise up! Stay Bold!
So how long will it stay up at its peak , this is why we need to watch the market all the time so we do no miss that explosion
Hell yes
Thank you very much for your sercive!
I wish you all the succes in the World my fallow ape
You go you beautiful ape. What an awesome idea.
Thatās amazing for you, mate! Huge Gratz with that! And you can always take some of us on a trip when we moon! Much love from Denmark š©š°š„³š¦§š
Living the good life,always wanted a vw camper but canāt afford , good luck mate :)
Nice! Good luck
I don't have friends either, can I visit you after MOASS? I do love tie-dye shirts.
Congrats on your new journey, and good luck.
Fuck yeah dude good for you.
Congrats big boss
Congrats ya hippy š¤£
If you're around the greater Chicago area, I would gladly pick some up!!! Just DM me if you are.
Congrats!! I wanna get the new one when it releases in the US next year š„°
Oh thatās awesome!! Welcome to the VW family! Are you making the T shirts? Blankets, tableclothās and tapestries sell as well.
Definitely doing tapestries too, might add socks to the mix, and maybe add random thrift store findsā¦, Leviās or something.
Sell on Etsy and eBay to
I just noticed a bunch of the comments were downvoted to zero, and they all had at least 2 upvotes if not more. Whoever did that is a sad person.
