its been a dream of mine to have a microbus to travel the country in and do landscape photography. I decided to start watching some restoration videos and was pleasantly surprised to see this video as the first one i clicked on as I live not even 20 minutes away. Always blown away by youtube and how you have no idea the cool things your neighbors are doing. Cant wait to see where this project goes, and who knows, if i ever get a bus myself in the near future, will have to give you guys a shout. Keep doing what y'all do!

Also I like your process of part cleaning and storing as you go along. Way smarter than the way I’ve always done, and lost parts or fasteners. Thanks for your videos, very helpful.

I have a one car garage, where the 72 bug resides, and my 80 westy sits outside, (a daily driver going on 40 yrs!) So yea, Im jealous of a garage that lets you work inside! Thanks for all your time and effort in making these vids! This is how this VW community thrives, because of dedicated guys like you and your son. Your both lucky to have that bond.

"Just one thing a day." is the best advice for restoring any old car. There is always, ALWAYS, some little thing you can do, even if you only have a half-hour there is something. That's the difference between taking a year or two and taking 5 or 6. Those little things add up and make you cruize along! I keep my list on Excel because I don't have a space for a flip chart :)

The gross weight of my chair with me in it is approximately 450lbs would the floor of one of your restored buses support that kind of weight? My dream would be to trick out a bus and remove the seats so that I might be able to go places transporting my chair.

Odd question but what are the dimensions of that shop? Your recent videos have motivated me to get back to work on my 69 Beetle so thanks for that.

Yestherday order a set of safari windowns for my 67 bus and some other items from Wolfgang International. Funny being out here in Iowa lock down not shopping at all, when my debit card company saw the order they called me . Sir we your card was used to buy Safari Windows ????? from California was that you ?? Question Jake, Soda Blasting is that where you shack-up a can of coke pul the lid and blast away?? I like your methods and action plans in restoring a bus. Good advise on doing one task everyday on your bus. There is still a lot of work i can do sitting from a stool working on my bus; base on that my bad legs, feet and bad not an excuse for moving forward on the 67 deluxe. My mighty arms still work great, ok at my age anything that half way works it mighty.

Have you ever worked on a later model im looking at getting this 1976 bus type 2 I was wandering if it is different from earlier buses?
@VWLifeVW

Mostly the difference is in the motor. It's going to have the type 4 Style with fuel injection if it hasn't been messed with. But basically they're very similar

Hey weird question, but could you explain all the layers that make up the body of the van? I'm thinking 3 layers (base metal, primer, then glossy paint) but I'm not sure. Im an artist, its for an art project that I need to know. Also is the primer super matte and rough or is it smooth and glossy?

Our main piece of advice is to do one thing a day. Even if that's just cleaning the garage or working on one little nut or bolt there is plenty of KZbin videos on Pacific when you need to look up how something is done. Also you could try joining a forum if you have more specific stuff like www.aircoolers.org
