Love how Dom goes into the Just Kampers workshop and looks at a machine going "I need one of those.."😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@kylehogueharmonicamisic8700]

Everyone need a friend like Honest John. You guys are great together.

[@brucewatt1032]

That tour of Just Kampers was great - such a pleasure see a one man operation transform into a huge business employing over 50 people 👌

[@alexanderralph2504]

Great to see a British company doing so well and also great you have the car running

Wow to "Just Kampers" warehouse. Phenomenal. And victory is yours ... and Jon's!

[@benreadings]

Absolute pleasure to meet you at VolksWold and to also have a mutual moan about Beedspeed. Haha.

[@DominicChineas]

Haha nice to meet you too!

[@glynharper1066]

Great to see it rolling and running, hope to see it at the show.

[@davidsmith846]

Well done boys,a joy to watch. Please, whoever buys this beautiful car, leave the bodywork alone.

[@GT.Bugger]

Interesting to see around JK. And the oval is so nice!

[@neilkennykenny4113]

I knew you 2 could do it, well done lads. just campers are an amazing business they have it off to a fine art, and Doms envious eyes at the machines in there. 😂

[@adrianriley780]

First class video as usual from you guys thank you as always.

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you I appreciate the positive comments

[@raydriver7300]

Thank you so much for taking me on this journey with you. It takes me back to mending my 1955 Morris Minor 🌞

[@GARDENER42]

Fascinating look at the 'behind the scenes' part of Just Kampers. Thanks

[@Bairdovich]

One of the more enjoyable videoes I've watched in ages. Thanks guys for stoking my 1970's passion for my VWs.

[@lesleysmith5623]

John’s a great mate to have 😊

[@kazcollins2360]

Brilliant, bit of insight into Just Kampers from where they started to helping clients and people like myself, the specialists 👌

[@danielnicholas983]

Great show by the way… I remember visiting the barn in about….. 199…5 ish

[@davidpopp1963]

I traveled from Cornwall to the show to see the amazing beetle, sorry I missed you, but me and my daughter had a great time at the show! Thank you again for making this, Netflix needs to take you and John on for real.

[@ericm8811]

Hey Emily Hopkins and Russ! Darn it I think I missed this awesome streamage by freakin minutes! I had to go assist a friend during that time period! We're things different without me causing a disturbance like I usually do? Ride ride ride!

[@busterboy7505]

Well done guys, she will make it to the show 👍👏👏😃, just kampers is a brilliant outfit what a team 👏👏👏, .

[@richardwhatton1249]

Congratulations Dom and Jon, that was a brilliant job and real hard work. I hope Just Campers are pleased and that the new owner is delighted. Kind regards, Richard.

[@bruceyoung1343]

That Just Kampers place looks tops if your restoring a VW. Another great video. CHEERS

[@hpevans9041]

Well done to both of you a fantastic effort 🎉

[@Porl1024]

These videos make me so happy. I love to see the old bug being brought back to life :) Thanks very much!

[@DominicChineas]

Your so welcome thank you

[@mpdoan2]

Well done! Can't wait to see her cleaned up... perfect as it is. 🙂

[@thomasweatherford5125]

What a fantastic little motor! I love the looks just as it is.

[@parttroll1]

Awesome effort guys!

[@deanmarskell1518]

Great video Dom and honest Jon you work well together and have so much knowledge and a look behind the scenes at Just Kampers that was so awesome and totally amazing well done all of you great Job 👍♥️

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Dom and John, glad it's on the road, nice tour around JKs, All the best Brian 😃

[@michelmendoza1769]

It’s really cool how leisurely you approach these projects even that white elephant of a 356! How many months and years do have you already invested in that project. I am hoping that you finish the ‘55 beetle soon lor at least by year’s end.

[@andybriggs4066]

John is so good love his work ethic ,Just watch for that man hole cover you crashed the bus into

[@handycasey]

Took my '72 bay into the Farnborough North Camp garage for a new clutch and parts. Born in Odiham and grown up around there so seen them grow. Didn't realise they made parts. Excellent. And another great video.

[@andrewsoupene1028]

I love this place

[@TheBrummiedoug]

That brings back memories of when I worked in a sheet metal shop. I had a turreted Pierce All, The favorite tool was the louver vent punch. Always kept a few for would be Customizers. What a cracking warehouse.

[@girlindigo8]

I did my Uni work placement working for Pierce All in Slough.

[@russelblackwell6041]

CREDIT TO the owner Dom fantastic set up organised so professional

[@superbear617]

It's almost as old as me.....wonderful job, gents! Good luck at the auto show!!

[@terrytopliss9506]

Excellent Dom and John,thanks for the video.👍👍

[@mikeraymond6822]

Well done you, John you are a legend 👍

[@lindataiwo2684]

I’m so pleased to have found this video! I’m a big fan of Dom because of repair shop so I was so excited to see this. I’ve got a 2004 be bettle that needs some improvement to the brakes. So happy to find out about Just Kampers. Well done Dom!

[@spinyuk]

Mark is a top guy, met him a few times at shows when picking up orders. The JK forum was also a brilliant resource back in the day, still got my forum cap :)

[@alic4788]

Great to see it finished. I've had a few bits and pieces from JK, but didn't realise they were such a big operation.

[@eeblatter]

Congratulations. Looking forward to the show coverage. That digital parts system is pretty slick. Thanks for showing it. Cheers!

[@happyknightinternationalma116]

Dom you have a cracking mate called John. Look after him well because friends like John are rare 😂😂😂. Seriously… you guys on these projects, your personalities bounce off each other, addictive viewing. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@hotoilhands]

" I think I owe you a burger". I think you both deserve a burger. Well done guys.

[@macbilling6410]

Fantastic work by both of you. Well done

[@brendawilliams700]

Well done. What a lovely little car!

[@stephenblaze4571]

Great video I think you owe John more than a burger what a cracking job you 2 have done

[@besenzon1]

Congratulations. The Bug sounds sweet. Had a run in my 64 this morning 🤙😎👍

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Wow! VW part heaven. Beetle looks great. Congratulations. 😎👍🛠

[@JackBWatkins]

Restoration parts for older classic cars is a great business. Big business for small companies, but way to small for the big auto manufactures. Enjoyed the tour of Just Campers.

[@davidbates247]

Great little series very enjoyable

[@Qspecialman]

As always, a very impressive video Dom. I must say that tour of Just Kampers was really something. I visited them a few years ago when I was in the UK for some brake parts for my T4, but had no idea all the stuff they make on site. Respect!

[@boldorboy08]

What a great resource for Volkswagen restorers.

[@johndavey72]

What a very professional business ! Such a shame she has to go . Well done to you both !

[@daveydad]

Fascinating, Dom! Thanks for doing this! The '55 turned out great! (From a '67 owner)

[@stenalbertsen2440]

Great job great car .😊

[@nyqer6636]

The Just Kasper’s tour was incredible. It makes me want to order some stuff and I don’t even have a VW😂😂😂

[@nyqer6636]

Well done on getting yours going Fingers crossed 🤞

[@timstoys1]

Well Dom and John.... it's been a great series following this one

[@malcolmbale9566]

Dom in a sweet shop!! 😁

[@andrewnicholson2627]

Loved this series,even though I’m not fond of air cooled stuff,You and John,the dr Zeus man,are infectious !Keep up the good work!

[@noonehere1793]

That is quite the production!👍👍 makes me want to buy an old bug and build it….

[@peterpedroza6683]

Another brilliant video Dom, she's looking good. I didn't realise just how big a company Just Kampers is, but then VWs are popular the world over. Looking forward to next week's episode.

[@doctorsatansrobot]

Dom you are so right about doing your own maintenance making you more confident driving the car. I was always comfortable driving beetles and aircooled buses, even though they would occasionally break down to varying degrees. A job like a clutch change only needed a trolley jack, a socket set and a morning of work. Now I've got modern sensible cars I am constantly dreading something going wrong with them. ECU problems mainly...

[@patrickhostler5939]

Flipping’eck… that is quite some operation

[@PhilG0BVD]

Loved every second of the restoration. great team work guys.

[@bruceyoung1343]

CHEERS

[@johnwadlow2617]

Another great vlog Dom. J K's place is something extraordinary indeed,

[@kentmckean6795]

Rescue complete!

[@peterroshouse]

Very cool reviving an old car and getting it back on the road. It looks like with the LED's in the semaphores it's now got a fast blink. You might look for a flasher that's made for LEDs since they don't draw as much current. I did that when I converted my Mini to all LED.

[@DominicChineas]

Maybe that’s the camera, it flashes just as it should, The beetle doesn’t have a flasher relay as the original semaphores never flashed, the circuit that makes the new bulbs flash is in the new clever just kampers bulbs!

[@garrymatthews4430]

Their system is amazing. Who would know they needed to work seven days a week

[@HighPeakVideo]

266 CPU - awoke my memory about something... Central Processing Unit 266 MHz bus speed; popular in the 1990s.

[@michaelmiller641]

Wonderful video ,those semaphores I've always known them as trafficators, for some reason!

[@dicksargent3582]

Great job on the rescue. What it is interesting to me is that you fellows call it an oval because of the rear window marking it a '55'. Here in the US the split rear window didn't disappear until '57'. The things we don't know even when we grew up working on these bugs in the fifties and sixties.

[@ericlee3421]

Brilliant well done.

[@bobt3374]

Hi Dom & John well done with the work excellent achiment good luck at the show.

[@MalteseMafia]

Great video 👍 love the patina of the old bug.

[@rdgk1se3019]

Hey Dom, with all the great help that you have with John........you might owe him not just 1 burger.......but a lifetime of burger's.

[@johnvaluk1401]

Will it sell? Silly question. Just love it! Thank you for the tour of the company and their inside workings.

[@jozsefizsak]

That was fantastic and even more so in light of what Sarah-N-Tuned showed about the dismal quality of many aftermarket VW beetle parts. They were unusably bad but it's inconceivable that the JK people would ever sell something that didn't work exactly as intended, so now there is an alternative. When people make a business out of a personal passion, it tends to have a world leading result, as long as they have a proper understanding of the subject. I won't go off on that tangent but I'm sure you know wheat I mean. 😉

[@garethjudd5840]

The engine sounds sweet 👍

[@rodharris2915]

A great job you two have done 👍it’s a pity we couldn’t get there this weekend

[@vayabroder729]

This is a fantastic operation!

[@thomaspollock4274]

Well done boys, nice you partnered with Just Kampers to meet your deadline. The semaphore upgrade is a nice touch, is the ground on the light good ? It seems to have a fast interval. I need to get at my 56 Oval this Summer.

[@DominicChineas]

I think it’s just the camera

[@besenzon1]

Wow, never realised how big Just Kampers was. And that they made a lot of their parts. Amazing investment over the years. I expect Brexit has affected the business though. Its very difficult to receive parts to Spain 😔

[@sidwallace6053]

Not the biggest beetle fan in the world but I’ll admit I’d like that

[@brucewatt1032]

Hey Dom (and John), here’s a thought for a new Playlist, that I think would have a huge viewership - team up with Just Kampers again for a project where you build an entire VW Beetle from scratch - from the bottom up - using only parts sourced from Just Kampers. Is that even possible; could it be done?

[@613kc]

Great vid!!! thx

[@petercavanaugh6510]

If I was on your side of the pond I'd be interested in buying the bug! Same birth year as me! GLWTA

[@johnsholian4318]

Brilliant! Well done you two. You are going to kick yourself for letting that one go…

[@freddieleethompson3536]

More Dom ‘n’ John adventures please!
