Driveway Find! 1967 VW Bus Revival - Westfalia Camper Van Rescue

Found a Vw Bus that was disassembled by the previous owner. Even the transmission was removed. Let's get the transmission installed , load it up , get home and see what's inside. Next we will get an engine in the Bus for its first start and first drive in years. Parts are on order for the SO42 camper, more soon on this sweet Bus!

Good evening friend, I'm talking about Brazil, I love these videos about finding old cars and renovating them, I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapters.

Brother; you are so lucky, you always find these nice bugs or buses.

[@nadenolam8368]

Can’t believe you found an old VW in that neck of the woods, oh yeah that’s right it’s NE USA

[@adrielrowley]

Jason, that is amazing how little rust there is. I read through the comments and didn't see your question answered, so I will. 28-1 PICT is for a late 1200cc engine. Nice has a 6 volt choke, seems like most Volkswagens converted to 12 volt. I converted Dad's 1964 Beetle back to 6 volt (several times said how much he regretted converting and I grew up disliking it), though being on SSI, the choke was too low priority so only part that didn't get changed. Got to get her back on the road and the machine shop, last one machining in camshaft bearing saddles (RIMCO is no more), didn't do any of the machining right so been costly financially and time; at least had a local get the case back, wasn't finding any 1300cc cases. At least really enjoy rebuilding engines, hopefully third time rebuilding this case be a charm. 😆

[@Goomer]

I bet right now you have 10% of all VW's in the NE.

Awesome Bus. Another dream that was not finished. I know I have the same problem. You grow old, only to find out your body isn't young anyone. Got 87 GTI 3/4 restored than has been sitting for 15yrs. I'm 75 and can't finish my dream. Keep finishing peoples dreams. Love your channel.

Needs some work but I know you have seen worse. Lots of good parts as you have said, after the double cab I would love to see this get built out and running. Maybe even a full restoration? 😀

Nice find! At first i was disappointed that it wasn't lost in the woods, but then it was missing a transmission. Its always more fun to watch when theres potential disaster in store.

hi Ron, another thing most people do not understand is how much time it takes to respond to comments. I do my best to respond to them all but even I don't get to them all. It is hours on a small channel like mine. Mustie1 could spend days responding to his and that takes away from creating content . He might have new VW series coming soon, if we land it :).

[@frankl.5153]

I had the same one in the early eighties. Coming back from camping trip in NJ, I broke down just at the apex on the Throggs Neck. I don't know how I knew what was wrong, but I went right for a spare set of points in the glove box. Jumped out, opened the cap, and sure enough; the points were broken in half. Bing bang boom; the old ones out and the new ones in. Used my matchbook to set'em and off we go. Just getting off the bridge and on to the Belt Parkway when three Port Authority cops surround me. I didn't get written up, but they sure read me the riot act. Just so everyone knows; back then they would push you off the bridge with their push truck, not caring what they broke doing it. Picture your nice shiny chrome mufflers being rammed under your front seat. Would not surprise me if that is still how it's done.

[@pem1126]

Sweet Unit, I watch another Channel called Adventures Made From Scratch and he is from Kansas I think, and if he sees even some tarnish on a pumper he calls the vehicle a rust bucket, I like your take on things, you can see through it and its "Not too Bad"

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Distilled vinegar does a great job of cleaning rusty hardware. May take a few days.

[@5150mxVW]

yes, apple cider vinegar, one of my faves, great tip....just have to neutralize the acid with distilled water and baking soda or it will flash rust.

Hi Jason from England. There's a question I've been wondering about every time, whilst watching your last few videos. All we see is you collecting the vehicles - we never know what happens to them. Do you sell them on? Occasionally we're treated to those great resto videos with Larry, but where do the rest of the vehicles go? Maybe a few minutes of video of them as they go to the new owners might be good? Cheers anyway fella, carry on doing your thing - we love it. x

I have two SO 42s and why are they always pearl white? All four of my buses are pearl white I don’t get it. Whatever you do, don’t throw those tan aluminum squares away they are the interior trim for the Heloise windows ! Again, another really hard to find item and not cheap. Sadly, almost the entire interior is gone that’s gonna be a difficult one if you’re trying to make it all original. You seem to have access to a lot more than we do even out here in Southern California. I go to every OCTO show and Pomona swap meet and I have only seen an S.O. 42 complete interior once in the past 15 years . Congrats on the find!

My buddy bought one from a stoner in '80 for 100 bucks. Some concert in London Ontario. Drove it north to my folks in Peterborough area. The shifter was out, had no power and we had to push it uphill. Next morning discovered the floor pan was rotted. I suggested a 2x4 between the shifter and e-brake for support. Fuckin thing almost popped a wheelie. Good times... So what's your plan, acid bath and survey first? Thanks for posting.
