Forgotten VW BUS Rescued Found Sitting 20 years - Yard Find 1969 Volkswagen Camper Van

[@cidercik]

The sound of VW bus side door sliding shut. The sound of at least half my life.

[@5150mxVW]

Nice👍

[@hjkgufytfyug]

Always happy to see the next generation taking an interest in keeping our beloved VWs alive.

It's always a good feeling when your kids show superior judgement! Josh picked a great mom and an interesting father. He will do fine.

[@flypawels]

Good luck with your new project.

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you

[@micksterboone4517]

Larry is a motorcyclist and fabricator. Cool.

[@tomdale1313]

The "MINI ME" is learning and will be able to tell the tale on your finds...tanks for sharing

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

Nice 69 J , My crystal ball tells me Mustie will be taking it home with him !!

[@williamtanner1372]

Always fun to watch a rescue. As Josh gets older, he is getting harsh on his dad. LOL, you are going to have to up your game. Great to see your adventures

[@rickylaporte6750]

Awesome thank y'all

[@allenbuck5589]

I had a old vw camper early in 72 as a young Marine. Didn’t have it long my older brother took it home. Thanks from. Sc

[@Wil_Liam1]

After rebuilding my 1st vw engine back stock I always built them back for as much hp as possible without all the exotic machining and high dollar parts.. My buddy built all of his with the machine work and Uber expensive parts and his always broke or had issues,mine didn't.. After watching Darren and Jays videos so long it kinda makes me want to get back into the dubs again but today's prices,phew .

[@littlealmcb943]

Great to see josh showing an interest. Jay no disrespect your weldings coming on great but would it not be a better use of larry time to give josh the torch? He’s the perfect age to learn and who better to learn from? Great video cheers

[@volktales7005]

Looks like a tin-top Westy. Campmobile was just Volkswagen's official name for the Westfalia models sold in the US and Canada. Definitely have seen ones in worse condition then that on the road. Nice to see the '58 coming together. Maybe Josh would like to become a master welder and metalworker. Wouldn't that be cool to get the young generation into this sort of thing?

[@barackmycat9448]

Keep`n busy. I want to see you and Mustie do a start. Hang in there.

[@josephperry6822]

We've all seen worse! It's great to see another bus being rescued. Too bad about the window being open, it would have saved that floor. Another great video, Jason.

[@enriquelopez9124]

Nice to see Josh in the video 📹

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Nice to see Larry again also 👍

[@5150mxVW]

👍👍, thank you

[@khymanser391]

I love the curtains in the bus

[@johnsarian_cu]

The contrast in bodywork needs between the Camper and the 58...hoooboy. Looking forward to hearing that sooped up 1915 poppin' though.

[@tom-ehill2713]

You have some kind of good luck with those VW's!!!

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you Tom

[@martyworley5427]

I’ve only watched a couple of minutes so far and it looks like you scored a good one

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you Marty

[@Timhey0912]

65' VW Bus/Van my favorite, because I had one. Miss it! Also had a 60' Bug that was a Frankenstein VW all fenders were from other bugs but it ran and ran and ran.

[@jimstewart6145]

nice job.

[@mid-niteryders5523]

69 was High School granulation, yeah I'm old, do luv these buses. Let Mustie work his magic !

[@dalewyatt1321]

The bay window is a great thing. If Mustie1 is going to get it running I'm in for less than 1 hour total work time.

[@salvadoravila9095]

both of you, thats a plus. God bless

[@stevefamfive]

Great camera work, Josh!

[@NortheastVintage]

Nice find! And you’re right, the fiberglass top is from a Westie.

[@JB91710]

Heck! Those are $2500 door cards right there! That's one of the most solid cars I've seen you buy! ;-) 6:50 "Flying Buttress?"

[@besenzon1]

Good boy Josh. You taught him well 🤙👍

[@MASI_forging]

Great to see your post 🙂🙂

[@TimothyHigdonHiggs]

Good deal....good job!! nice engine too California......it had floors!!!!,

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear 5150mxVW 👍👌👏 The camper bus has at least most of its floor and it's blue. So your wife cannot hold much against the vehicle!? 😁 ;-) The engine looks definitely interesting and much newer than the rest. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the first start (regardless who does it). Great to see Josh again. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

[@kaydesign]

Here in Europe those Westfalia campers are very collectible (read; expensive), definitely not overpaid. I had a T2B camper with a 2 liter pancake engine, such fun little rides.

[@ElectricDoktorLand]

Yeah, previous owner of my bus had also left a window open. Mildew and rust- yay!

[@VWPrince53]

Nice Find! Doesn’t look bad for sitting 2 Decades! 👍

[@benkrom2737]

Back in the day, I never saw a micro-bus pass a hitchhiker 😄. I know, cause I was the hitchhiker 😁 The atmosphere in the bus was they were out on another adventure 🤪

[@yttkuar]

Why, I ask myself, do we take on these projects knowing full well it is going to take forever to finish? Because, I also tell myself, you gotta love the vision in your head when you start.

[@danielneuenschwander7381]

Jason, great find! Good to see your videos again!

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Daniel, much appreciated

[@kevins9335]

Looks like a decent buy

[@jimtomassetti8928]

Hey Jason...Great to see you and Josh...Wow he has sure grown since last I seen him. Did you travel far for this Bus? Look's good my friend!

Thank you Chris , I sold my 66 So42 , rather have a bay actually

[@christophercornetet5037]

@@5150mxVWHell yeah man the Bays drive so much nicer!! I have a shorty bay window that is shortened 2 feet that totally drives awesome!! Type 1 trans!! 25 years ago I drove a 56 Bus across the country and back, that was ROUGH!! Haha keep up the Rad work Dude!!!

[@corey6393]

The residential light switch had me laughing. Hippies ruined a lot of old VW's back in the day. Campmobile is a Westfalia term, poptop or tin top. If that engine runs well, and is what it is thought to be, it was worth what you paid. Get a decent air cleaner on there, lose the "power Pulley" and find an original German doghouse fan shroud for it. Old buses need all the oil and air cooling they can get without being held back by crappy aftermarket parts. An early bay tin top Westy is a great weekend getaway rig, especially with a nice added boost of power for the highway. The floor repairs are pretty straightforward, the windshield frame rust is a little more involved but not too bad.

[@JoKeR-qu3ut]

Hope you're not planning on getting too much inheritance, kid. You're being pretty rough on the old man.

[@matttaylor373]

that exhaust is from a shop in socal. proubly the same one that did the motor it was like the guys trade mark in the 90s !!cant remember the name of the shop but my brother used him a few times.prices of rigs any rig are crazy now!

[@SteveB88]

That’s actually not in bad shape for as long as it sat. I’d say you did good with this find. It’s definitely a shame that the window was left open. you can always weld in a piece to repair the floor.

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

Gray Tree frog at 13:02! It’s that time of year 🐸

[@MrGMawson2438]

Great video mate

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you Mr M

The camper doesn’t look to bad. I think the “engine “ will fire up no bother.

[@MrGMawson2438]

Daren will get it going I'm sure 👍

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Nice score !!! The engine alone has to be worth 2 grand !

[@LonelyPickle-m4r]

Campmobiles ARE Westfalias, they are the same thing, you could get them (Westfalias aka Campmobiles) as poptops, turret tops and tintops. Love a Westy. I've got an early 68 T2a poptop Westy.

Larry is forgiven. 😀

[@alanwbelcher]

I think some carnuba wax would really enhance the finish on the bus.

[@stephenricketts7764]

I thought not much rust and there isn't so that's a bonus! I think you might be right with that black surround thing, I have seen it on one just the other day but I didn't like it myself.Thanks for the update on the 58, great work. 👍👍

How did you break the handle of a vw bus

What is time? Where does it go?

Not a bad price especially if it was in the U.K. not sure us prices tho if good or not jason

It was for sale 3 years ago for 1500 , I remember it .

@@5150mxVW crazy prices have shot up , I bought a Mexi bug in November £1000 complete I got it runner and sold £1000 to a friend as needed ££ for eldest daughters wedding 😂

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Josh saying……”Too Much” 😁 That looks like a newer light switch 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😁 That really doesn’t look that bad. Looks like a cheapo Amazon or Cip1 exhaust Josh…But you still overpaid 😂 Those fender bolts are a pain sometimes. I have to weld 6 new ones 🤦🏼‍♂️ That hole punch is handy. Welds not Josh approved! 😁 Humpty Dumpty beetle?

[@enriquelopez9124]

Was the former owner of the bus an electrician?, unless they were living in it.

[@brianandrews7099]

The front mounted spare tire is all you have for protection in the event of a front end crash. When it came to safety, the VW Bus was job none!

[@5150mxVW]

true, not very safe

[@enriquelopez9124]

That Volkswagen camper(Westfalia doesn*t look bad considering the years parked

[@5150mxVW]

thank you , i found an early one so this one is for sale

[@cleekmaker00]

I see folks try to sell these in the same condition or worse, and when they start asking north of 10k USD I ignore the ad or just walk away. It becomes disheartening and depressing. 😕
