friend, here in my country, Brazil, that's car is called 'Kombi', very popular, widely used to transport students, travel, products, etc. We have 'Kombis' by the thousands and many, but many spare parts in the trades of car parts! If you need parts, do not forget, it is in Brazil that you will find them! Big hug !!

[@scottsimmons6656]

I just found your channel. I love the fact that you show me the work that needs to be done without all the inane chatter that I usually skip past.

[@danstephensen9032]

Hey Mic. I always LOVE your Vids!! Genius Move: Taking pics before removing stuff ! ! ! You are on to something here!! Peace, Wash & Pray ! !

[@fonhollohan2908]

Good Job Mic. Good feeling getting all that dirty rust cut out. Most folks don't have a clue how much work it entails in a project like this. It's very labor intensive but she'll look fantastic when she's welded back up. That is where the fun begins is when you get to put fresh metal back in her. cheers dude.

[@robleary3353]

Great stuff!. Love the rapport with your Dad. As a seventeen year old, Dad and I didnt get on at all I bought a wrecked motorbike and we ended up doing a basic restoration on my small BSA motorbike. Doing it together fixed our relationship, taught me 'make n mend' and ended up with Dad being my best friend..... Nice one.

[@dark_angel_don9766]

Nice that you can spend the time working with your dad. You can never put a price on those times. And it helps that he has a nice shop to work on the Bus. I like that it is clean and organized, that is a sign of someone who cares about the job that they do. Can't wait for the next video.

[@Luzeon]

The first real mechanic I've seen in years. Thank you for letting me see this...this was my 1st video seeing you and your dads work. Don't poop yourself out too much.

[@vitorcamilo6796]

Being able to work with your father is a huge gift. Joining his experience to your strength is the perfect match. I did a lot of projects with my dad while he was still on this beautiful little blue planet.

[@peppiniello8361]

Hi, I'm Italian and I don't speak English, but I've been following all your videos for a long time. I just wanted to compliment you, because through your movies, you can feel that you are a good person. The volkswagen van series is beautiful. Keep it up and thanks for your videos.

[@MicBergsma]

So stoked to hear that!! Thank you for the comment! 😄🤙🏼🙌🏼

[@AltesBlech]

It's funny, I as a German look at an American working on a German car. I have a youtube channel where I work on American cars. I wish you good luck and have fun with the bus.

[@AltesBlech]

If you need parts, write me, In Germany parts are easier to get.

[@creynolds6288]

Love watching these! Very relaxing as you don’t talk over the top of the video all the time. Yes I know there are reasons for it but you don’t spoil the content like so many do

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks! Yeah I don't like watching videos of people blah blah.. just need to see it :)

[@MrRon6977]

You were like a mad man working on the bus. You got a hell of a lot done. Outstanding.

[@emilloblivion3158]

CREO QUE TODO EL MUNDO AMA ESTAS COMBIS. ME ENCANTAN. ESPERO ALGÚN DÍA PODER ADQUIRIR UNA. FELICITACIONES!

[@romuluscreative]

I hope the upper body doesnt twist on you man.. removing all that floor and support and not welding in supports to keep upper half straight seems scary.. I dont know VWs tho som maybe core is there straight.

[@InTeCredo]

Yeeeees, another meditative video! Sooooo sooothing and sooooo blissful! Only you can pull it off!

[@busman5429]

Your restoring it at the same level or how I'm doing my buses (2) 67's & (1) 64 . Great to see your dad working and supporting you on the bus project. My son and I started working on VW as a hobby when he was just 3 years old, now at the age of 30 we still enjoy it. My struggle is I'm 65 and have health issues, but still enjoy what I can do on my vw's. I sub to your channel the day you picked up your bus like how you are documenting the project. I need a car lift , but garage ceiling to low.. so floor jacks & jack stand and a lot of old bones trying to get up & down from the floor, but each task is a victory and a little happy dance.

[@MicBergsma]

absolutely! have to celebrate each thing done! that's great you can have a hobby with your son :)

[@brainwash726]

Adorei você, e seu canal, amo carros antigos, principalmente WV, tenho um fusca 1978, bege, também estou reformando ele aos poucos!!!!

Must be great working with your dad , he raised a good son !

His grinder got burnt only on this task ? I'm very surprised. I think that it was mishandled several times 😉 It never happened to me. It must not a matter. Carry on ! I love this guy, stand up anyway.

[@southernpaths2986]

I’m sure this has been brought up before but the vids are dated for two years ago... is Kona currently on the road again? Love these videos and your spirit my man! The GoPro vids and other reviews are great but the “what’s going on in my life” videos are the best. Your dad has a beautiful home and being able to work on Kona together is something you’ll truly appreciate years from now. You got me looking for a ‘66 (my birth year) bus now!

[@TheStickyBusiness]

I have wondered the same thing from video 1 till this one. I hope somebody can explain it.

[@MicBergsma]

Hey, Kona is not even close to be on the road :( I am close to catch up with episode and date ... Thank you so much for the comment! Stoked that you are looking for a '66!! Keep me update!

[@PJGGolfer]

Great episode. Having lived north of Seattle, everyone knows Fall and Winter are wet. Enjoying the videos.

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks PJG, haha yeah not big fan of it. Thank you!

[@goriopukolo]

lot of effort sir mitch,...still a long way to go., ..after restoration, is that for sale..?

Ok, thanks for the response, I will be attentive to your channel, to finish watching the restoration and see how your Kombi looks, bye.

[@danieloliver20]

I love that garage your dad has! I'm guessing its now sandblasting and welding in new pieces, then some paint..... Nice bus build(major surgery) with your dad... Texas, Hawaii, Washington, there's a major contrast in topography! 😎

[@markpiper8082]

Great work but dont use a grinder with out a guard if you value your body parts

[@erieq22]

Nice advice.. Safety 1st..

Love the videos!! I know how most people say “hope the videos come sooner,” but I know these videos take a while. So great job for doing then in the time you do them though!

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you! Putting everything back together can be tough but take a step at one time :) Thank you!

[@mrdave22]

thumbs up

[@ThePhilClark]

DUDE! I first learned about you from Robert Skinner. His shop is 2 miles from me because I want to get back into VW Buses (been 30 years). He showed me your bus and told me about you and your bus. I have now binge watched everything up to this point and I am totally jonesing for a new bus project like yours. Your video's are awesome and SOOOO helpful as I am practically a noob again it's been so long. Your bus is very similar to what I want, and I cannot wait to see the rest of your episodes. When you come back to Vacaville PLEASE let me know. I would love to meet you. Bummer part is the Chocolate Bus is gone, so you will need a new camper.

[@MicBergsma]

awesome! Did you get a bus?

[@garywiggett2729]

You have video footage for reference if you forgot how you removed a specific part

[@grendelthewise1971]

So you did all this work to the VW two years ago according to the time stamp on the video?

[@dennisc.1189]

Great job on the bus so far, I know that a lot of work it becomes a passion. Thanks for sharing I'm looking forward to the next video.

You should use a drill, to drill out the old welding spots. It's more easy as to use a airhammer with a gouge! Best regards from germany.

Hi Mic! Nice to see your work again on Kona the bus. It`s hard work bud it will pay of, It seems to me you learned a lot since the first video from your efforts to make something out of Kona the bus.I`ve enjoyed every time I watch you work and struggle to fit the different parts you mounted in the first videos, Bud, now you made a great advance, I do really know what it cost you in time and sweat blood and tears. Admirable I`ve Restoring my one Oldtimer a VW T3 Single Cab from 1982. Hopefully, I get it on the road next autumn. stay cool and see you again in your next video. Greetings from HCS Norway

Hey Mic I have been watching your videos and I am so happy you and your Dad can spend time working on the old bus to get it back on the road! I can't wait to see how far you have come with the bus. I have a 67 bus myself and would not trade it for anything. I wish mine was a walk-thru like your though as mine has the split bench in the front, anyways I can't wait to see more of the work. Don't give up on it... I see the time stamps on the videos and I know that when projects take so long to finish sometimes they get put off or never finished. take care from louisiana.
