The quality of these videos is exceptional and without doubt the best restoration series on Utube!

[@MicBergsma]

Wow, thank you!

[@Polecat54941]

@@MicBergsma I think the thanks should all go to you for the amazing entertainment you provide 😁

[@ronwilkinson6114]

Wow, Silverio is such a talented craftsman.

[@demazejr]

I agree with you

[@soloban81]

Sheetmetal / auto body work really is an art form.

Hi his a professional

[@hkansler]

VWKonaBus will be the best of the year ! maybe going around the world with her, start on the island of Madeira! a hug !

[@clannishkobra8965]

I know this video is a couple of years old but I'm right there with you. Lost my cat Abby in highschool she was my dad's cat she stuck to him like glue. Felt like I lost the world that day. I think about her now and again when I do I know she's up there with my dad keeping him company laying on his chest. ❤️

[@MicBergsma]

Aww man that’s sweet ♥️

[@johnfreeman1189]

Silverio is the MVP in this build. Excellent video work. Very interesting to watch.

[@MicBergsma]

😄👍🏼👍🏼 I'm so happy to film him working on the bus and sharing with y'all!

[@sergiomk1swap536]

Kona,thank you very much for taking my son out! a hug, how great you are

[@MicBergsma]

😄🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks Sergio for letting me share the clip with everyone! Your boy rock that 15w bus! Have a good weekend!

[@billisaacs702]

Boy it sure didn't take Mitch long to get the hang of those metalworking tools and concepts. He seems to have a knack for it.

[@Hellodarknessmyolefriend]

So simple in design. Few instruments on the dash . Engine, easily maintained. It was great product, reliable and nice looking vehicle.

[@MicBergsma]

Couldn't agree more!

[@johneastman1905]

It is quite obvious that those working to rebuild your bus, like and enjoy your spirit, and good hard work ethic, and that you are yourself gaining many skills doing so.

[@andyjrichie6709]

The bus is coming along quite nicely Mitch , so sorry to hear Zack is poorly , Goon must of known you was upset Mitch , dogs can pick up on this. I hope you and Lori are keeping safe , under the circumstances , Memories are so precious. I know worrying and not sleeping about our loved pets/ family , big hugs. Love to you both/all . Take care 💕

[@SteifWood]

If I had restored a VW Transporter I had never changed it from 11 window to 13 (or whatever). When I was in high school we had one like Mic's as a party bus and yes it was a bless to have the lil privacy the last closed panels gave.

[@dzrotary]

So sorry about your cat , my son just lost a female dog. PETS DO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY!!! glad to see Kona comig along nice !!!! Take care !!! DZ

[@johnpaquin8041]

I've been restoring cars for about 50 years now and what I can tell is that this shop by your at have made you to replace a lot more metal on this bus than what would have been needed to be replaced

[@bakersbuilds4867]

First off, sorry to hear about your cat. The bus is coming along great! I really like the addition of those rear windows!! That may be in the future for my 67 11 window!

[@littlefarmer32]

How cool is this, to work on your own ground up restoration. This shop is top quality for sure. I have a destination to visit, my next trip down. Have fun, never give up. Greetings from Gibbons, ALBERTA, CANADA 🇨🇦

[@glynndavies5659]

I've just binge watched the Bus Restoration saga, really enjoy your enthusiasm, your work ethic, and your film talents. You sure have a talented team to work with and learn from at the shop! Really looking forward to the continuation of this story, hope the next episode(s) come soon. Keep safe

[@createdeccentricities6620]

Wow! I just remembered from my '68 Camper Van that the knob between the seats opens or closes the so-called heater tube.

[@longboardluv2]

Thanks for the shout out. Sorry about your cat. Lots of good progress and very interesting to see how it's done by the professionals

[@MicBergsma]

Yeah man! Thanks 🙏🏼 Yeah same here!

[@glencurtis6496]

Hi Mitch, my wife and I have loved watching and being part of kona's restoration over the videos , we are both massive bus fans , and would someday love to own one , keep up the good work. Glen and rosie curtis

[@goriopukolo]

You made my day sir mics,..i always missed KONA...

[@Rasping805]

Bout time something good to watch on KZbin

[@SiamFpv]

Oh yeah a new video ! Have a nice day 😉

[@johnc.fonseca8961]

The man knows what he's doing.

[@adriananderson3497]

Sorry to hear Zach isn’t well, pets become such a big part of your lives. They are part of your family

[@robertnauss4815]

Siberia is a magician he has unbelievable patience....perfection to detail...If I was the boss I'd pay him good...$$$$...

[@jayacourt8282]

Love following this project, such good workmanship going into Kona, but also easy to under estimate the amount of grinding, linishing and dressing of all the welds required, some serious hours! 👌🏻🇬🇧

[@Mikefngarage]

21:48 that is exactly why I dont do them this way. I leave the heat tube in place and cut the section behind it off then butt weld it back in place after the floors are in.

[@houseofcardistry7672]

I bet you could get folks at the shop to autograph those two cutouts and auction them off for good money. A paw print from Goon alone ought to bring in a few hundred!

[@MicBergsma]

Haha that's cute idea!

[@Justfunvideolove]

Hope your cat will feeling better soon!❤️🐱🤟🏻

[@davidmspinelli8951]

Kona is going to be better then new Mic, you will enjoy him for years to come. I am very sorry to hear about the kitty. My wife and I are animal lovers also and it is very difficult when they are not well. I am glad you have Goon with you though, he knows that you are sad and will give you much love and comfort. Be safe and stay healthy my friend!

[@zaidillzailee]

Nice work bro...🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@seanburke342]

Love watching all your videos here in the UK so much knowledge here.. Sorry to hear about your cat 🙏 You’ll end up working for Robert with those skills 👊

[@cadelivingston389]

These videos are highlights for me when they come out I absolutely love your channel and this bus resto keep up the great work

[@JeriyantBaramcity]

Wow...!!! this is a difficult restoration 😨. Effort and Hard Work will never betray the results 👍👍👍

[@MicBergsma]

Yeah so crazy, I couldn't imagine myself do that alone haha 😄🙏🏼 Thanks!

[@rokeysanchez5328]

I’m so sorry about your cat hope better times come god bless you! Keep up with your bus, start looking great

[@andrewlee5948]

Silverio is a god 👏👏👏!!!

[@1Nolimited]

nice the floor and the doors are fit and weld, the idea for the the 12 windows is nice and will fit well keep up 😉😊

[@randyisham7873]

Great job as always. The van is coming along. Hope everything works out. Ill keep watching.

[@johnbussell8279]

Dope video with a ton of progress! Hope Zach is okay and gets better soon!

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks John!

[@erwien58]

It's so sad to read about your cat! Hope there will be a solution... You do a fine job and, of course, you're soon will be called "master of grinding machine"! But it's SO important to do the job restoring kona in the workshop, and not by yourselve only. I watched some videos from other guys restoring Volkswagen busses (with rotten roof, for example) and for my opinion you did the right decision go to Skinner! Can't wait to see the next steps in the restauration process. Regards from Vienna!

[@tomjackson4077]

Sorry to hear about your cat,it's hard when a friend is sick

[@SKC77]

And now my weekend is complete. Thanks Mic👌

[@MicBergsma]

Awesome Shaun 😎🙏🏼

[@PortalFPV]

Out of every section of the project so far, I'd have to say the installation of the front floor gave me the most anxiety. I could feel Silerio's frustration

[@GiuseppePappalardo]

A big greeting from Sicily! Congratulations, great job

[@treyjohnson82]

getting those doors better than factory..in the assembly line,not always even

[@DougAskin]

He has a lot of different vice grips, one for each situation. The floor looks good, bit of fiddling to get it right though. Hope you didn't get sparks on other car, I got some on my hood from grinding the bullbar

[@markpfeifer1402]

Eastwood should put your face on their weld-thru primer!

Good morning, I really like the sheet metal screws that you use to hold the panels in place. What size and brand are they? Are they a Zipp type screw? Thanks and take care.

[@tomnekuda3818]

It really makes you wonder how they got them so perfect at the factory, doesn't it?

[@MemoBar100]

They used to make a great job, but trust me it’s easier to make it as a new body, with new and aligned parts. Silverio is a master 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, and with Mic are making real handcrafting.

[@mrvolksmad]

I dont think they were that perfect back in the day ..🤣

[@tomnekuda3818]

@@mrvolksmad Probably not. I've owned 5 of the old-style buses and the fit/finish on them was pretty darn good. Then I got a '72 and later a '74 and they were very good vehicles but didn't have the karma that the early ones did. Wish I still had one of the old ones.
