I love seeing people loving what they do! Eddie and Claudio are masters of their craft! A fantastic episode Mic and can’t wait for the next one! 🤙🏼

[@texasgirly1979]

yup

[@cbturner]

The last seven episodes, published since last May, have only covered seven weeks of real-time activity. I've joined a gym to make sure I live long enough to see the thing complete. Can't say I'm not still loving it though. Great project.

[@X-OR_]

Sea Foam Blue would look great. Same color as my Fender Jazzmaster Guitar... That Guitar was born to play surf music !!

[@PortalFPV]

WHAT? .😆 I just spent 10min watching someone carefully and precisely build a tiny door.....and was engaged the whole time 😍

[@juanmoreno1922]

Bauhaus original design is being respected, this is cool 😎. Excellent craftsmanship .

[@waterislife.9204]

When Eddie paints it's like he is dancing & making art, ❤️. Cloud has amazing fabrication & welding skills. Got blessed people building your van. Be blessed.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Hi Mic & Lady Kona😁😁!! Mic, you’re a true master restoration guy!! I’d love to come on over once Kona is all restored & just hang out (maybe hug Kona a bit😁😁). (VWs of ALL types are beautiful, cute, & adorable in my book)

[@sarahslater6018]

Absolutely loved 36 , please don't make us wait too long for 37. Can't wait to see Mona as you continue the restoration. Carl & Sarah Slater

[@sarahslater6018]

Ha ha , typo. Kona !

[@brianlowe7608]

when this bus is complete -it will be the absolute best that exists in the World today

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙏🏼

[@codyc6975]

In the future I use Q-tips in the threaded holes depending on their size but, they work really good. Your van will be so nice with all the extra care and precision work that has been done on it. Not everyone takes the kind of pride in workmanship that has been done on yours unfortunately :( but, be glad that's not the case with yours. I'm really glad that PPG came onboard with your build ! I love their quality products. It's getting closer every day !

[@Thegobstopper61]

Eddie arriving at 5.31 am , ye from a night club l bet. Even the birds don't get up that early. We really need this to be aired on Amazon TV too its that inspirational big guy.

[@matthewstewart3446]

As always a joy to watch Mic, just an incredible journey you have taken us on. Would love to see it painted as an Aloha shirt. If not a sweet orange/yellowish color. Sending you love Mic, keep filming…

[@Handscheu]

Aloha shirt, thats is a cool idea!

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Matthew! Happy to share the journey! Aloha shirt... great idea 😄👍🏼 See you in next episode!

[@batman1999ful]

Yeah... are you back and good see you again .. nice of the video. Hope you have great weekend... 👍 👌 🤴🌄🌞🌍🌎🌏🌄🚌🛴🚀🛸🌊😁🙂😎👍👍👍👍👍👍🤙✌🤴🏄‍♂️

[@mtbikesam68]

Man, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far!! Your passion, energy and expression brings everything to your videos! I have been an air cooled VW man since 1986 and can't get enough of seeing the detailed work being put into Kona. Skinner Classics and their staff are a CLASS ACT. I will definitely continue watching and I will think of Kona whenever I drive my 1974 Beetle that I built as a Class 11 look full fendered Baja this past year. Cheers to you, Mitch!!

[@zoltore23]

I am old. I am about to retire. To have one of these busses would be a dream come true. I will get one before I die.

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼

[@createdeccentricities6620]

Kona's restoration will yield the best Bus in this Solar System - maybe even the Multiverse!

[@WaterParties]

I really feel good watching you being so happy while Kona "grows up". You've made me smile every time you have celebrated a new step (roof welded, paint on it...). Thank you for transmitting us your joy, it's fresh air breeze!!

[@glynharper1066]

You body man Cloudio it a skilled crafts man and wants Kona to be perfect, you can see that in his work.

[@Amtcboy]

Claudio’s the best dressed restoration guy.

[@kvonnotro]

It's very pleasure watching to you and your working. Cheers

[@sonnymoorehouse1941]

Awesome Video's Dude !!!!! talk about an epic adventure in Bus building !!!!!!!

[@kangoovan4351]

Great JOB. All watch all epizod. Greatings from Poland !

[@Rudi.D]

[@MicBergsma]

Hahaha yeah Eddie is funny, fun to watch him! 😄🙌🏼

[@BrianSmart1959]

That painter has some nice rhythm. He looks like he is dancing when he paints. So cool to see you getting closer to the end.

[@MicBergsma]

Haha yes he does all the time, so funny! :)

[@richardhughes9074]

Mic kona is looking great ! It’s not so much a restoration but a total rebirth ! You will be taking pride in her for years well done your hard work deserves the results your getting !

[@brezel53]

Nice...the legend continues...

Konathebus is a never ending story. 🤠

[@MicBergsma]

[@rajiv4972]

Awesome …have been waiting! Many Thanks

[@rwilliams6409]

Cannot wait to see Kona again with a new paint job. Have really enjoyed watching all 36 episodes. Waiting for 37!!

[@lycan6293]

love watching these episodes. since the bus is white I think lower portion might look nice with a tan or forest green colour. true masters of their crafts happening in that shop.

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks 👍🏼 these are nice colors 🤔

[@CJLeTeff]

Claudio is worth his weight in gold! What an amazing job by a true professional! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@yvessmideren6785]

Claudio, the Superman !

[@jdconstitution9858]

Dudes all ROCKING it with MIC to catch it, nice catch!

[@MicBergsma]

[@ShawnSmith-uy3zr]

Awesome attention to detail.

[@MicBergsma]

😄🤙🏼

[@pierrepersonne6384]

Superbe vidéo comme d’habitude. Merci

[@WTMarx]

Dang it Alex. He is always begging for food, too. You guy gotta feed the man some time. Lookin' great, Mic! See ya in a couple of weeks.

[@mattgreven7615]

I love watching these videos! Your builds have to be SO much better than they came from the factory!

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Matt!

[@moon-lit-rider987]

I hope you don’t completely lose yourself in this project & forget about life. There is still a lot to get done after the paint shop is finished. I’ve been following you the entire way, amazing work & great videos, it’s a big commitment buddy & you have a beautiful partner, don’t let this effect a relationship. Take care 😎✨

[@brentbenson6248]

Wow! Eddie's skills were amazing to see. Thanks Mic!

[@antonioaccorsi5830]

Nice, very nice Mic!!

[@mcreationgraph]

Nooooon !!! Quel suspens !!!! Je veux voir le prochain épisode !!!!! Claudio, tu es un travailleur hors paire, d'une précision chirurgicale !!!!!! Bonjour depuis le Sud de la France 🇲🇫

[@VWLifeVW]

it's getting so close! It's been a long time coming, seeing it get painted is going to be awesome

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@camilaedesouruguay]

What a thrill to see Kona entering the painting room. Looking forward to the next chapter. Greetings from Uruguay!

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@renemartens5657]

Deep / royal blue or a very dark red would be a good combo with the white. Keep up the good work, and compliments to the bodywork specialists

[@Tim316]

It's such a pleasure watching these guys work 🔥🔥

[@MicBergsma]

Totally!

[@justreviews5535]

Great job guys! Your panel and welding expert has me locked in! the attention to detail is very impressive top notch!

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@aidamedina7903]

Iwill like yellow color for the buss!! 🥰 White and yellow 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼💛💛

[@hreelss]

Great job. Regards from Tenerife. Spain.

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you very much!

[@texasgirly1979]

[@robertharmon3490]

Can't wait to see it painted maybe yellow and white!!

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼 Can't wait for that moment!

[@tomthumb4767]

Seeing a May video in January , I'd say this bus has been finished for a while . Have a good one .

[@MicBergsma]

Man, I wish it’s true 😔

[@mohamedshahabdeen6091]

Well done !

[@locosporlosvolkys7640]

Wao!,excelente trabajo!. Claudio es un maestro de restauración. Su paciencia y dedicación son admirables. Los felicito y espero pronto se haga tu sueño realidad.

[@chrissingewald546]

Fantastic episode again and can’t wait to see the paint on the bus!!

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Chris!

[@kiwinewz2042]

Pleasure watching your vw come together. Thank you for your kindness and sharing your journey. That cleaning glass technique brilliant. Older homes exposed to ocean on shore winds it’s perfect and works. I tried it on my windows. Much easier than cleaning them normally. Cheers🤔🙂just noticed that all the guy’s from the shop are communicating with their hands and movement’s. They’re more expressive. I’m learning to sign. I have learned the basics of a few languages and my own Te Reo. I’ve been in a few situations where I wished I’d known how to sign so I’m doing something about that now.

[@weschilton]

Awesome progress!

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@treyjohnson4035]

The addition.of the square back upper deck engine hatch is brilliant!

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Hick yeh buddy looking good finally paint and just another step closer to driving it lol

[@claudep.255]

Awesome work

[@TheDeelight]

Hope for a nice blue on the lower part of the bus but some hibiscus blossoms would be the extra special detail in honor of the beautiful hawaii 🌺

[@alanpaulick7815]

You guy's are rocking with the bus. Mic thank you for sharing your awesome video 📹

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you Alan! Happy to share! 🙌🏼

[@antoniocarloslocatelli3932]

[@amorchaouifaycal4695]

Any color will be nice on Kona ❤️❤️❤️ good luck

[@MicBergsma]

[@moss8448]

Slowly but surely she's comin' along.

[@dieselmonster]

This has become my fav restoration series of all time !!! Thanks for your videos Mic Oh and here is my color prediction: Yellow :)

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼💛💛

[@kevinm0076]

Awesome thanks again 🤙🤙

[@MicBergsma]

[@robertnauss4815]

Lime green would suit you...Nice n bright in the sun...- 23 in Canada right now...

[@aguskustantyo6403]

Can't wait the next episode..

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Excellent progress. Things go a bit slowly when the goal is perfection, but boy will it be worth it in the end. When it all starts to come together, it seems to go a bit faster.

[@1raker2]

Bloody fantastic jobs from Claudio. Like the painting for the roof it’s incredible! You have a great relationship with them l enjoy all the episodes l watched. You are a great bubbly warm person l think you want Sky Ocean for the bottom bus? It will be cool 😎👍😊

[@penonton4260]

This is The best restoration video. just focus on 1 car from start to finish. this is different from other restoration videos which always buy new used cars. and never finish the restoration ~

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you so much!!

[@peterellis4982]

Nice to see some updates

[@kyliehanson2421]

Seafoam blue would be a nice color to go with the white, great series keep up the good work.

[@MicBergsma]

That sounds very good! Thanks 👍🏼

[@demazejr]

As always, a big attention to details, great work, gorgeous, awesome, amazing...

[@ioannisstratouras1428]

Cant wait to see the next episode! Great job with great team! Congrats to all of you!!! I think you should paint it orange!!!

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you so much! 😄👍🏼🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@Milledge.Austin]

I have to say, I am really excited and happy that you haven't shared pictures on Kona's Instagram page ahead of when it fits with videos. I love getting to see this project piece by piece.

[@kmac8101]

Very cool to see this come together for you. I'm going to say the lower will be a shade of green or blue to represent Kona.

[@MicBergsma]

That sounds awesome, thank you!

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

This is coming together so well! Everyone involved has such vision, and they know exactly how to form those vision into something tangible and awesome! 🙂 Colours I would humbly suggest would be pastel, like baby blue, pale green, lilac, or purple. I think that stronger colours will detract from Kona's appearance! Good going though Mic! I hope all goes well! Thank you for sharing! 🙂

[@platoon-mg1qv]

Eddie y Claudio son perrones!!!! Salud compas 🍻

[@mathiaschapignac9984]

Vert nice Job 😳🤘. You have lot of chance!

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks 👍

[@mreadinichannel1664]

Can't wait to find out sir..🙏👏

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼

[@FhVW]

I love it. I hope my 96 VW LT (1995 model) can receive such love. Stores that do this are pretty rare to non existent here. Esp. If you are not air cooled like mine it’s a hard time. I have the last existing model of that year and that setup in the Netherlands 🤷‍♂️

[@macoyaquino9101]

wow new episode bro watching from🇵🇭

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@conceptalfa]

Great video as always, thanks so much for sharing!!! 👍 👍 👍
