I Can FINALLY Drive The Van! T3 Vanagon Transmission Linkage

[@lorenzoweed2473]

It's crazy to see how Barry has evolved over the years, keep up the amazing content!

[@BulletBarry]

thank you so much! thanks for being around!

[@enlightenedrenegade472]

Adam seems like a genuinely awesome dude. You've got a good man at your side for the build, Barry.

[@BulletBarry]

he really is! I got incredibly lucky to meet him!

[@AdamNDJ]

Thank you for your kind words, good soul.

[@thismans1405]

Can't wait for barry to drive out of the neighborhood and total the van at the intersection lmao

[@BulletBarry]

crap!

[@raultellegen5512]

That Adam man, a real modern day hero. Nice to know there's such cool people around helping someone out with their dream like that.

[@gameboyterrorysta6307]

When you fix mechanical stuff in this car, I recomend reading "modifying aerodynamics of your road car" by Julian Edgar. Simple flat underbody could do wonders for improving sound isolation and fuel consumption. With naturally aspirated EJ20 this car would be smooth AF for its age and shape.

[@thiccfrogg1380]

*A E R O*

[@mazdaweeb3]

The problem with that is it blocks the underside of the engine, making oil changes a pain. Also, on older cars, it makes oil leaks hard to catch because it won't drip on the ground.

[@BulletBarry]

that's a great idea! I may even be able to modify it so it doesn't get under the engine like Hunnybajjer noted

[@KitamiK11]

@@mazdaweeb3 easy to fabricate mounting points and you really dont need a lot of bolts to hold it

[@gameboyterrorysta6307]

@@mazdaweeb3 You can have separate underbody panel under engine held by few screws/bolts. My friend has underbody made out of ABS on his car and just created caps in it. How to do it? Cut shape, add hinge and clamp, mount your "shape" back into underbody.

[@AdamNDJ]

Thanks! I'm going to practice my "chad" walk all day today!

[@crazybrothers179]

If I was in your spot with the van that you are in right now by having to basically re build the whole thing, I would be upset at first. But as time would go on I feel like I would truly start to enjoy that I needed to rebuild it. You learn your car inside out. And in a way build a connection with it. I think one day I would like to rebuild a Mustang Mach 1 (69), but that's way out of my skill level to pull off lol. But who knows, maybe I will just go for it one day. Good luck with the van!

[@BulletBarry]

good luck with the mustang!

[@cameron7howell]

Can't wait! Do you have a plan for how you are going to go about meeting fans when you travel around? I feel like it would be super cool to just spend some time chilling and talking about life on a more one to one basis, but at the same time, everyone who wants to meet you should get the opportunity to. You look at life from so many points of view it is an experience to hear you explain your reasoning. And to just hang out and vibe would be an incredible time. Hope to see you some time, keep up the good work 👍

[@BulletBarry]

that would be incredible! I imagine I may just let people know where I am and we can do meetups!

[@Johnnyb167]

These videos in particular feel like a journey we all get to watch together watching an old bus go from nearly unusable to fully functional. I hope you do some cool vlog stuff of your road trip would love to see it.

[@BulletBarry]

oh man you've got me pumped!!!

[@mziv888]

i'm inspired by your bus journey. My 76 was stolen and recovered 6 years later. I have a long way to go and would love to manifest my own adam in colorado.

[@masterdragon5754]

Looking good

[@dstrkt.cs2]

Love to see the content evolving. It's also really cool to see that you are learning more about your vehicle.

[@spicynachos2762]

Adam seems like a cool guy, Weird how much work this Van needs.

[@DaleyStormtrooper]

This isn’t actually a lot for a van or that doesn’t seem to be taken care of. They have many had to drop or pull anything just a couple of knick knacks besides the wiring harness.

[@spicynachos2762]

@@DaleyStormtrooper thanks for the info. I Don't know much about this stuff always good to learn.

[@AdamNDJ]

Thank you for your kind words. It really isn't too weird though. For an almost 40 year old van, it is actually in pretty good condition.

[@Kurtt008]

[@BulletBarry]

right! this is gonna be sick!

[@JustTheJames]

I'm actually really excited to see what you do with the interior. Are you gonna keep it authentic or try a more modern/minimal look? Maybe with some clever storage techniques, you could throw a beefy UPS in there and have a modest gaming rig (and some RBG lighting of course 😂)

[@cradem01]

Its so funny the timing of all this. Some of my friends recently got me into car stuff around the time of the first van video. Its been awesome watching you fix up the van, and I cant wait until you go on your trip!

[@thebigmig4865]

Dude, need to warp Adam to my house ! I did my own wiring harness and it won't shut off !! FFS...I better get going and come back when I need a break from it.... I wonder what happened to the 1.2 gear bracket and I like the idea of the PVC pipe, that's a new one for me...

THE VANNAGEN IS BACKAGAN

[@TheRealHarrypm]

I wouldn't forget some 40mm respirators with a few ABEKP3 filters useful for virus protection and anything else toxic in the air and an NVA Rubber NBC suit or two as they can be used for extreme cold going into the water up to neck hight (great for fishing) and will allow you to get out of a locked-down region without mush issue if something major goes down, the suits are around 20USD a pop off eBay and last decades with a bit of talk, masks and filters will run you 80USD per person tho its a great investment you never know what you might run into on a continental trip these days from riots to plagues or the end of the world its the little things that help :)
