[@Littlelamb2023]

what an awesome father son project you should be so proud of each other. I Have a t2 in a workshop at my parents house but i lost my dad before i began my resto job. You are truly lucky to have each other. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids i love them!

[@mkgarage1616]

Ich finde es schön das Deutsche Autos in so vielen Ländern geliebt werden schönes Video weitere so Gruß aus Deutschland

[@armandomuerzagimenez3190]

El espíritu humano no tiene límites. Sky is the limit! Sensacional trabajo, no hay elogios suficientes con los que calificar este mega proyecto, si a un loable esfuerzo se le suma infinita determinación, el resultado sólo puede ser el éxito. Enhorabuena

[@Riikonan]

Work with dads is dream of all sons.. I think your dad is just to make his son happy and comforted all day...he dont need anything for himself...he just do for his son... I look your dad as ideal dad...

[@createdeccentricities6620]

Calling that object you're cutting out at 14:21 a "heater tube" is a left-handed compliment, at best. When I moved from Florida to Michigan 45 years ago, it was all the heater tube in my '67 VW Camper could do to defrost the front windows. Driver and passengers remained frozen!

[@rustybum2]

Superb videos Mitch, very interesting and instructive, not at all tedious and slow moving like some other VW bus restorations on here ! I had one of these in the UK about 40 years ago, a 1959 camper complete with gas lighting inside. restored it myself on a shoestring budget and ran it as a daily driver, and had loads of adventures with her for MANY years. I paid just £18 for her and drove her 25 miles home completely illegally. Great memories. Best wishes from an old Yorkshire "Geezer" now in Ireland.

[@Phanton-Racing]

You are lucky to have a father who supports and helps you in your project

[@alanpaulick7815]

Cool video and your Dad is so special helping out.

[@stacycollier7134]

Showing the bus some love nothing like German engineering great job 👍

[@brunoottina293]

You're a good man and brave. Never give up ! We are a lot to appreciate your work and determination you show. God bless.

[@eduardocancino5807]

Felicidades que habilidoso. Superando limitaciones. Eres exitoso. Admirable. Arreglas el tipo de carro que me gusta.tengo una combi 1975 desde hace 25 años. Bendiciones

[@bahraintahir7434]

You're an inspiration & yr Dad is a hero. Wish you the very best.

[@joebarajas4935]

I admire your determination I had one of those VW buses BACK IN THE 70’s when my children were 9-12 yrs old , have fond memories of all the camping trips we took here in Texas, Had it worked on, the engine was a porcha And it had plenty of power, Really enjoyed it, Looks like you are on track to a beautiful restoration/ Build Best of luck to you and Your Dad, Enjoy the Build, you are doing Fantastic work

[@ahmadsapri5376]

It looks incredibly awesome. Didnt expect the old things like that can be turned into something extraordinary. 😍😍😍 AWESOME!!!!! Love from Malaysia

[@ПетърАтанасов-щ9х]

Magnificent home have your father!!! And garage! Wowww!

[@cbturner]

I'm so enjoying being on this journey with you, Mic. You're an inspiration.

[@kk-kombikomgrehga9389]

My like is direct from Brazil. God bless you.

[@donaldharris9657]

I have used one of those compressors at the fab shop I used to work at when I did welding. We used them for taking paint of rims and blasting big tractor trailer trailer frames before we painted them. Awesome.

[@ronspringer1276]

Very impressive with the detailed work you are doing. I did my 1966 bus nine years ago and i wasn't quite as meticulous as you are. But my bus is beautiful just the same. I really enjoy your cinema-photography, keep at it, you will have so much to cherish when you are done. Rebuilding classic VW's is art. Sculpting metal.

[@dennisc.1189]

You got the bus all cleaned up and it looks great. I can't wait to see the next video. The bus is going to be awesome.

[@clareglasgow5955]

Hope we can get to meet ourselfs and our buses, if you come anytime to mexico we can do some exploration on the buses! Just let us know and we´ll arrange it! Keep having a great with Kona!

YOU GOT IT, yeah man, you got it.

[@irishrover63]

What a job Mitch, you saved a shed load of money with the preparation. Your Dad is multi talented like yourself.What a workshop he has, 2 post lift, amazing. Does he work near a golf course as the buggy said club car? He also has a VW beetle, nice. :)

[@Adaml_306]

Hey Mic! I’ve been watching your videos since GoPro 3 was out... Man this is crazy!! Haha So much work but you’re persevering. I love it, it puts a smile on my face and gets me motivated to finish my projects. I’m so excited to see the finished product!

[@dechstudi-o374]

สุดยอดเลย จากรถที่ถูกทิ้งสามารถกลับมาเหมือนใหม่ได้อีกครั้ง 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@188ours]

Hey Mic, I am restoring my 69 panelvan, short story was bought by my parents in 94, for a road trip around australia, been siting at my cousins place for 20 years. We shipped the bus back from Perth australia to Nouméa New caledonia where I live. I'm working on the rust on my split, and was wandering what did you use at 8:04 is that some sort of aluminium filler ? thanks, keep up the great work you are a great guide in my restoration progress !

[@alexandracurielcorzo878]

I am so proud of how far you guys have come with the van!! It gives me hope that I can do this with my own van! You guys are doing so well! I can’t wait to see the outcome! ❤️🚌

[@betoarzate6426]

[@shartne]

You all are doing an excellent job on that bus. Actually all things considered it dont look too bad its in pretty decent shape.

[@Zt3v3]

What size tarp was that? I haven't found one to fit that well and the "custom" cover I bought 16 months ago is wasted from the wind, I'd like to try a tarp again.

[@jorgecastilla9607]

Congratulations my friend!! I look forward to seeing this new van !! Big hug!! Jorge (Riode Janeiro - BR).

[@_maucal]

Por favor cuentame que solucion encontraste para el tipo de direccion que tenia este modelo de kombi. Yo tengo una del 65 y aun tiene la direccion original pero quisiera saber si la fambiaste por otra. Gracias

[@miikkakarhu9431]

Gr8 news!! One step closer... can`t wait ur next episode!!!

[@bigears4426]

The best thing to do , it is to big a job for a amateur, use your energy on jobs you can complete, good luck

[@DingDongDaily]

this thing is a relic, probably would have been cheaper to find a cleaner body, but i understand the sentimental value, i restored a 92 SC400 myself as well.

[@audiapriza2386]

Awesome video !!!! Very very very inspiration Good content's and good personal

[@carloskaiser5998]

Nice Job Mitch your bus job looks like a huge project . I like the work that your doing it looks very professional also I like your dads shop . If you need someone to weld I have experience with welding.

[@bavarium313]

This is awesome man! Can’t believe how far it’s come! Keep up all the hard work! 👌

[@Askjerry]

That is a lot of work... I really hope in the end it all pays off for you. Should be a great little bus when it's all done.

[@imagemg]

Hi Mic, love your videos about VW Bus restoration! I like watching you in other end of our World! Keep it up, bless you and greeting from Prague, Czech Republic!

[@PropDusting]

I think that you would have come better doing a hot bath for rust and paint removal and then a e-coat after before sending it to metal work. That is what I want to do on my next one.

[@robertfliss2584]

Just wondering,in total,how much does it cost to restore something like this?

[@youcf5182]

عمل رائع .يا صديقي .

[@nstldancow6348]

Amazing. From Indonesian

[@5150mxVW]

Nice work and series Mic , great Dad too 👍

[@VwRosstorations]

Lot of work right there...dads got a huge clean shop....

[@elassil7763]

good work fan from algeria

[@johnc.fonseca8961]

Wow, well done. The sand blast os very good and easy.

[@VWLifeVW]

what a great update! that blast sand gets into all your cracks and crevices!

[@fff-cf4fx]

Just found your channel. Really impressed - you get a LOT done and your attitude positive attitude is great. Thanks for the look into your restorations

[@fonhollohan2908]

Soon as I saw you sandblasting inside the shop I thought o not that's not good. lol Sorry to be a bearer of bad news, but whoever sand blasted that van didn't do a thorough job initially before applying the rust inhibitor and the Bondo on the roof. Rule is to remove all rust before prepping anything. Your should mention that to Robert to see if he thinks the roof should be redone. Usually sand blast to remove every single bit of rust then weld then sandblast welded areas then Prep for Bondo and primer..

[@DumpsterMarcus]

that's a lot of work you did!! Looking great!

[@vsenefsky]

I worked in my parents auto repair shop during summers and sand blasted a huge wrecker piece by piece for three months, Messy is not the word I would use. NASTY is a better word to describe it.

[@kiranfelix5799]

KZbin suggestions did an amazing job with showing me this channel and his project... Thanks for that.... subscribed ✔️, Notification ✔️.. watching from the beginning now.

[@MicBergsma]

Welcome to my channel! :)

[@EMBEVIDEO]

Awesome job! Restoring cars for me is like meditation! Watching your videos makes me want to go into my workshop and start doing stuff. Unfortunately my car is already finished ... so I definitely need some new crappy car to make it shine again :) Thanks for sharing - always enjoying your videos!

[@zorastark133]

Saludos desde México excelente trabajo

[@CommandShadow07]

I think you made the right call. Glad you’ve got a plan. Let me just clarify, it’s spring 2020 this is going to Robert and it didn’t go this year already? Great video, cheers mate.
