Rusty BRAZILIAN Bus REAR END Completely Chopped OFF (rear frame and gas tank shelf repair ASMR)

[@atomicmellon1712]

I know a lot of folks say they have rust free vehicles but you are achieving what most only claim. I'm here for this kind of content!

[@BrandonsBus]

Making a vehicle truly “rust free” is extremely difficult, especially ones that are 40 years old. I guess replacing most of the metal is one way to do it ;)

[@SkaterStimm]

@@BrandonsBus It's impossible to remove every panel and clean out every lap weld, but it sure seems like you are getting close ;-)

[@johnpartridge7623]

Me too.

[@lucasvinholigoncalves1824]

Congrats on all that work!!! Most people don't go the extra mile to have a rust free vehicle. You didn't only go that far, but decided to record every nut and bolt going on and off during the process. That's all every vw bus fan wants to see and eventually do someday in life. Thank you for the effort!!

[@alanpaulick7815]

Wow way to go. This dude is definitely not taking any short cuts on his rust restoration. Thanks for sharing your hard work. Take care and be safe

[@BrandonsBus]

Thank you sir, I really love this hobby, it’s what drives me to do it right.

[@georgeclements2742]

I really appreciate it that when you do a job you do it so thoroughly. I look forward to seeing the reassembly. Best wishes.

[@BrandonsBus]

Thanks for watching! Reassembly is going to be so clean.

Nice work, I welded a new roof only my 68 double cab this week, finished the 10 thousandth plug weld and on the last one sent a hot nugget of weld into my sock and burned my foot. Gotta love it to do it.

Oh that’s totally happened to me before, I’m not always good about wearing my boots. 😭

There is talk about German buses and Brazilian buses, but what about "Brandon buses?" Incredible attention to detail! 👏 I spent a few years restoring my '58 panel, but your work is over the top 👍

[@BrandonsBus]

Thanks so much! Cant wait to get this thing on the road.

[@DemopVWgarage]

We live in rural south Ecuador and have a 1995 Brazilian Kombi. Ours thankfully is bone dry.. Just subbed to follow your progress

[@BrandonsBus]

Nice! Finding rust free busses is aways awesome

[@Uswesi1527]

Undoubtedly, but, definitely, there’s no alternative to “ PERFECTION “ . That’s means “ No Cutting Corners “ . That’s means “ Attention To Minute Details “ , no matter how small.

[@BrandonsBus]

So much appreciation for your words! 🙏🏼

[@Uswesi1527]

Undoubtedly, but,definitely, extremely hard labour. However, the output is always directly proportional to the input.

[@telluscitizen]

Absolute mint work Brandon! Loving every episode. Thumbs for the no-music-only-shop-noise approach. Question: while equipment and space investment heavy, would not media blasting be preferred for this level of work? Wire wheel and chemicals put a higher requirement on attention to detail to get every spot. Ps. "Dude, the back end fell off.."

[@BrandonsBus]

Good question! I think if I did it all over again I’d drop the bus off at a place that could media blast the entire thing for me, it’s difficult to get the equipment that could easily media blast a whole car so I opted for the chemical method on the larger areas and a sandblast cabinet for the smaller parts.

Thankfully it’s pretty easy to find replacement metal for these busses.

Brandon, how do you finance this project? Is that something you do beside your normal work? and you have no kids, right? ;-)
