musical bumpers

One of the nicest things we took from The Sister Van was her bumper. Apparently it is pretty simple to take off bumpers. You just need a couple tools and a strong man (preferably covered in tattoos). This is the part where we discovered that THE FLOOR IS LAVA, aka covered in STICKERS. I didn't have to get in them, but it hurt when I tried to brush them of SBF's shirt. Anyhow, CWV's new number looks FABULOUS on her!!

The original bumper. 

The bumper we were snagging from Sister Van.

Rolling around in the stickers to remove the old bumper while the new bumper waited patiently nearby.

Putting the new bumper in place. (I helped with this part!!)

And ta-dah! CWV has a brand new-to-her shiny bumper that you can STEP ON so you can see the rusty roof better. It's pretty dang cool, actually. Thank you, Sister Van!  We didn't install the old bumper onto Sister Van. It's right next to her in the dirt if you want your own rusty old Club Wagon bumper.

Meet the CWV's sister van. She lives in a salvage yard on the East Side of the ATX. Apparently a junk yard dog lives here too, but I bet he doesn't get far without a paw full of stickers.  We are taking all her good stuff and leaving behind a bunch of stuff we don't want. She was once a church van and one of the things left in her funky cup holder was a stick of Blistex. One of the random things in CWV's cupholder was a Hall's cough drop. We didn't use either.
