VW Bus Camper Interior Restoration - Rear Hatch Cargo Door Panels - Budget Overlanding Minded

Endless Summer Series, As summer is quickly coming to a close, I'm wrapping up all of the important tasks for my upcoming Overland adventures in the fall and winter. I'm extremely satisfied with the progress I've made over the past few months and confident in my ability to take on whatever challenges come my way.

Hi Larry, I finally got the time to watch this episode. I like where you're going with the interior of your bus! Measure twice drill once! If I were an American, I'd nominate you for Minister of the Interior.., Dad joke, sorry ( how Canadian ). Have a good night my friend!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Ok eH! 😁 To funny!!!

Larry, she's looking absolutely mahhhhvelous! Isnt it great quietening down our old German tin cans of joy?! That insulation's worth every penny! Curious- you gonna do a vid on interior lighting? Cheers to you✌️

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Oh yes! Cooler it the summer and warmer in the winter sure sounds great to me. Thanks for watching Tim! 🤙

Nice job on the paneling Larry. Very well done, it definitely looks brighter in there. Candy cane is cool also along with the plate. Are you going to do the roof also ??

Just got home from work and was delighted to see another video! I think using a straight edge for a fence is the only way to get a nice cut from a jigsaw. I think you could get a job with me (though it would be quite a commute) as a carpenter! Van is looking great, gonna be warmer and quieter this fall and winter. Can't wait to see a video of you out using it.😀

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks my Brother! Me too, I got cabin fever! I seen you posted a new video, I'll check it out later this evening.

Hello Larry, that's amazing your bus, really awesome. As we say here in Brazil, it's a "rooty vw bus". I liked the "borraxo" bottle that you showed at the end of the movie. Here we say "bêbado". Take care my friend, hope to see you on the road as soon as possible.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks for the Props & info! I like old stuff, Thought the Boraxo Tin would look good in the bus. Cleans Dirty Hands! 😉

[@oscar_dubs]

[@PerryHunter]

Larry Thanks for sharing and all your hard work. Great Video. Where did you find the Baltic Birch ply for the panels? Maybe I missed it. Thanks

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Three or Four years ago I found the Baltic Birch paneling on Offer-Up and decided to check them out. I took a drive to Highland near San Bernardino, CA to see the guy. This dude had a lot of paneling! So I sifted through about 500 pieces to find the best 10 that were all the same hue and 5'x5' size. Although they all had some flaws, I didn't mind since the price was right. The seller quoted me $20-25us each but then he priced them at $50us for the lot, which was a steal, so I was thrilled to buy them. Maybe the seller felt terrible after seeing me dig through all those panels for hours? In any case, I consider myself lucky to have found those 10 panels. It was a great score! ✌️- Larry
