Welcome at Hazelarmstrong.com

Hazel Armstrong (1964 VW split bus) has been back on the road since July 2005, after the completion of a 3 year restoration. In the meantime, we have enjoyed numerous onforgettable trips along the European and English Atlantic coastline.

We hope that the restoration information and articles provided on this website will help our colleague amateur-mechanics through the darker times of the restoration process. For instance the moment when you are thinking of alternative methods to get rid of this useless, rusty hump of steal. By either burning it down to the ground or pushing it of the nearest cliff... We have been there. But we guarrantee you that persistence pays off: there is nothing like driving around in your 'self-made' van.
