Forgotten Volkswagen Vanagon Saved From The Scrap Yard. VW Camper Van.

[@eppyz]

Would love to see this van restored and back on the road 👍

[@Volkswear]

It deserves a second chance for sure. JC.

Making life easier for yourself in your pursuits -work/hobby/other- IS NOT CHEATING!! You are simply showing the results of the 'education' you forced yourself thru prior. No shovels, heavy equipment, come-alongs, tractors, nothing but simple in- load- OUT! ATTA BOY! Makes me want a rollback too.

[@Volkswear]

This one was pretty easy compared to some our previous rescues. Nice having the right tools for the job. JC.

[@jamesthompson8008]

@@Volkswear Yes it was, bet it felt good too! I've watched several of your rescues, enjoy most all the vids - hope to see more on the forgotten Single cab from the field, but some of us know that the time it takes to make the videos doesn't pay bills. Keep up the good work - all of you!

[@dff409hobie5]

You got it on that carrier like BUTTER Well Done Cheers

[@royworks28]

It doesn’t look that bad ,especially compared to the stuff I work on lol . Hope someone brings it back

[@Volkswear]

It is a pretty clean Van. I wish my Syncro had was this rust free. JC.

[@sneaks01]

Great vid! Would be awesome to see it in the road again!

[@Volkswear]

I think its probably a builder. Too nice to part out. JC.

[@williamisch]

Mustie1 would love this too He just got it from his Parents as well Good Video :)

[@junkman6456]

Some fellows of me had some Accord's through their life. Good cars and never faults. Only had proper servicing. My best car i once rescued from the scrap excavator was a 560 SEL Mercedes W126. Fully loaded only the fuel pump was clogged. Most scrap yards hate cars and dont have experience about cars. Some are just being crunched for a little dent in a fender.

[@jllucci]

Glad you rescued it. Hopefully you can restore it and bring it back from the dead and if not, her bits can keep others running.

[@Volkswear]

I think we are going to try and put this one back on the road. JC.

[@martinjones2397]

What a nice van deserves to live again

[@Volkswear]

I agree 100%. JC.

[@kpdvw]

Nice to see your efforts in preservation/restoration of these classic T3's look @ KSL classifieds once in a while for VW Vanagon items!

[@Volkswear]

The T3's are getting harder and harder to find. Prices have really jumped in the last couple years. JC.

[@junkman6456]

Ya, especially the 4x4 double cab and TDi

[@type2523]

Can’t wait to see it . Hopefully it’s waterboxer is going to start Immediately

[@Volkswear]

Thanks for watching. JC.

Thanks for saving an other VW.

Good job!!! VW 4 LIFE !!! Hello from Salt Lake City Utah.

[@RomaRomari]

Отличная! Работа👍👍

[@Volkswear]

Thank You. JC

[@BuddyTheWolfYT]

I am saving a vanagon from scrap today!

[@cidercik]

That's a great trade! And it didn't cost you a thing. No comparison, a broken Toyota or a Vanagon. We had corduroy in our 80 Vanagon Wolfsburg edition. If the engine is ok, then the body isn't too too bad, hate to see it as parts...

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

Given how little rust it appears to have I'm kinda thinking this one could be saved. Please restore it and then sell it to me for a very reasonable price :D

[@Volkswear]

I agree it needs to be put back on the road. JC.

[@Finglesham]

I had one in the UK a Transporter campervan. A Turbo Diesel but need a new engine at 100,000 miles . I sold it after 17 years and 175,000 miles total. I miss it but would be caned in Europe as a dirty old diesel. Gasoline is very expensive here BTW

[@Volkswear]

I would love to have a diesel in my Syncro. Pretty expensive conversion though compared to gasoline. JC.

[@junkman6456]

Isnt there LPG avail in the UK? Its half the price of fuel and - mostly - Diesel.

[@motoflyte]

Can I ask your thoughts on old VWs, and specifically if restoring and selling them for many thousands of dollars is at all a profitable business model, Or, are the fully restored buses, beetles, and type 3 we all see listed for $10, $20, $30k on ebay and craigslist jsut sitting there with no actual sales happening...?? Obviously split window buses are very popular, but in general, Do these cars actually sell at that price ?

[@motoflyte]

What do you think the chances are of me finding a 70s ford bronco somewhere out in the sticks ? Have you seen any ? They're pretty popular right now but I'm not sure how many are left.

[@porsche356a]

Those metallic blue vanagons look so upmarket compared to the boring white with brown vinyl ones that are common here in Australia.

[@Volkswear]

I love the Dove Blue Metallic. Our Syncro is Blue so I'm probably biased.

[@emelen123jamesula2]

Nice vw you got.

[@iamrichrocker]

Mustie and VWnut approve of this video...

[@bluerazor7049]

Great video man, although i was confused at the X tapes all over the van, what was that about? And also will she be a runner or a parts donor?

[@Volkswear]

Not sure what the X's are all about. Guessing it was just a mark to show it was to be hauled off for scrap. Thanks for watching. JC.

[@kpdvw]

X's on windows traditionally signify Glass and to be careful not to break it..

[@bluerazor7049]

Where have you been man? Is everything alright?

[@Volkswear]

Well since you asked... I broke my back a few weeks ago and I'm out of commission for a bit. I have some fun new vehicles I'm looking forward to sharing with everybody as soon as I get back on my feet. Thanks for the comment. JC.

[@bluerazor7049]

@@Volkswear oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon! Rest now-

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Save it!

[@Volkswear]

OK you talked me into it. JC.

[@vw4x4]

Major rust is the only thing that I will not fix on the vanagons. This one definitely has more life in it...

[@FJ80Coop]

Put it back on the road or let someone who will get it before parting it out... Another one saved...

[@Volkswear]

We are not going to part it out. This one is too nice for sure. JC.

[@cidercik]

@@Volkswear Happy to hear that. Aside from the driver's wing mirror, it looks pretty complete.

[@Mikefngarage]

save the bays save the vanagons

[@Volkswear]

We try and save any of them we can find. They are all getting hard to find. JC.

[@CatsSleepyHollow]

Looks the ones the German Border Patrol was driving. Pretty compfy.

[@SUBDUB67]

Steering wheel is on the wrong side mate

I suppose it probably is. Nice to hear from you Amigo. JC.

Hello

[@adamvx1531]

Few years ago I found this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5y0nIR3nZiSo9k Please save these vans if It's not to late. I believe that all of these vans are still restorable.
