Mitch, as much as I hated to see you leave... you gotta follow your dreams. I didn't... I put it off until I was older... I had a chance to see China, Africa, Scotland... but I didn't go. I spent money on a house, cars, etc. Now... I'm older and I cannot afford to go to those places and do the things I wanted to. You are young... you have the ability to do it because you have worked hard, and you have your KZbin channel to help. So yes... I agree with you... do it NOW while you can. There is always time to do the things at home... but you will run out of time to actually go live life. SO I am happy for you my friend... i wish I did the same when I was younger.

[@Adaml_306]

“Dreams don’t work unless you do” I love that. So true! Cheers!

[@nathwilson22]

my favourite series on YT at the moment, nice one Mic.

[@bluetickhound16]

Nice to see Kona getting a facelift! No half measures being taken either... it’s being done right every step of the way!!

[@hashemalrawee8710]

Wow it is very nice episode thank you very much and very nice restoration project

[@danieloliver20]

Mitch, this is a great series to show what goes into a quality restoration of a classic VW. Skinner Classics looks to be a first class operation with great people from the owner to all workers. I'm glad you were able to film and take us on the journey of restoring your "new, bitchin" splitty!

[@scottpella7419]

Another awesome episode!! Robert is such a patient guy showing you how to do a bunch of repairs on your bus! So great to have friends like him in your life!! Thank you for taking us along to watch your bus get restored!!

[@onehappykombi]

The attention to detail you are putting into this project is unbelievable!! You will definitely enjoy cruising around Hawaii in this Bus :D

[@brucestmartin777]

Great video Mic... I can not believe how much work you are getting done.

[@QuantumFlay]

Been following this since day 1 can’t believe how far you’ve come already looking forward to seeing it painted!

[@ShibbyNews]

39:27 super message, exact what I needed to hear today :) Thanks, I love your project

[@notchboy]

Wow. Nice leg up on your dream to have Skinner Classics open their shop and home to you. Not may dreamers get that when rebuilding their expensive VW habit. #praisethelordforSC

[@robertnauss4815]

Your a dedicated man hard work pays off ...when are the next episodes..I've watched them all ....Robert is da man ...great teacher..

[@shanepauls9210]

A well engineered bus back then no wonder they are still on the road, plus professional people keeping them alive.

[@PJ-Slots-Entertainment]

Thanks for sharing this story. Really enjoying watching it. True reality TV.

[@dennisc.1189]

You are digging deep into the bus it will be a new bus when Skinner shop is done with it.

[@photohum]

So great that you have the opportunity to be there learning from a pro and working on your bus. 👍👍

[@MicBergsma]

photohum totally! So blessed about that 👍🏼👍🏼

[@TomKenyonStuff]

Thanks for showing such great detail Mic! It's so awesome to watch Kona get rebuilt.

[@bagr2000]

man, im waiting every part of this vid. Just don't stop and your dream will came true.

[@deanrobinson3717]

I would be stoked just to watch these guys work, lucky man having this excellent team of guys working on your bus pal. Excellent work Mitch

[@dzrotary]

Hey Mic ,I couldn't stop watching all your videos .spent the entire day yesterday and I blacked out at #12.lol. You got some amazing skills dude!!! I see where you got them from !!! I love vw wagons and my wife's grandpa had a few and they called them combi.I have 3 vw wagon toys and a friend went to Cal and got me a sticker of a wagon with a surf board anthe driver kinda looks like me . I'm putting in in my Volvo wagon 24o that I'm modding. Glad to see your ride is coming along better than factory.a good ex-coworker was teaching me sign language. Take care .Greetings from Chicago Dz

[@colosweden]

Excellent, you are working on your project, restoring the WV bus! I love to learn any old restoring vehicles, my dad had 1929 model T Ford car and truck and also 1932 V36 Cadillac. We had one 1967 SL270 Mercedes Benz as well. Never forget the moments. I am enjoying watching many of your videos as well as I am deaf.

[@ericlunn5323]

Clearly a labour of love . . .

[@renegade1987]

The sheer amount of work required to bring this bus back to life is astounding!

[@mecanicadobairro8107]

Hey Mic, I follow your work from the beginning, here in Brazil these vans have a nickname of "corujinha" that in their language would be something like "little owl" and formerly had little value, currently are difficult to find in good condition as they were used to the limit and then discarded, I am amazed to see how enthusiastic you are about restoring these little jewels and how easy it is to get the body/mechanical parts, where they were made there is absolutely nothing to sell and when you find it the value is unrealistic. I'm following ! Success in the project, Brazilian greetings.

[@plebeurbana]

I am surprised too with the replacement parts available in the USA. Here in Brazil they does not exist or are too expensive.

[@dzrotary]

Was cracking up at 16.42-44 when you stared in disbelief when glob came out of the transmission!!! Just funny but glad it was ok. Have u ever heard of evaporust? It works warvels and cleans the metal and is bio!!!

[@CTmoog]

What an amazing adventure my friend! Thanks for sharing! =) So many things to learn from this series! Thank you!

[@earthbound4now474]

Awesome effort by all👍 looking at all that work makes your Dad wise to pass it on to the professionals. Soon your dream on wheels will take you and the missus on wonderful adventures. Thanks Mick from an avid Aussie fan🤗

[@goriopukolo]

[@tomsummers1137]

Hey Mic. Greetings from San Diego. Another great video. I’m sharing these videos with a friend of mine in Tijuana who has a body shop who works on nothing but VW buses. Robert Skinner and his family are my friends, and we’ve all benefitted from their expertise and generosity. Skinner Classics has contributed significantly to many projects in the last few years, including LIGHT The Woodstock bus project and Ben and Leah´s KombiLife bus Boomerang, both of which I got to be a part of. Kona the Bus will have many friends all around the world.

[@RealisticSurvivor]

31:11 This thing called mechanics tai chi. ;) Awesome vids Mic. Respect from Hungary to you and all the hard workers at Skinner Classics.

[@stefanoderosa9062]

Complimenti sei bravissimo... un caloroso saluto da Stefano De Rosa... dall'Italia

[@Rudi.D]

Djeezes ... what patience you have to have to prepare all that stuff ... I would have thrown around with those keys if I couldn't get rid of it... but as a spectator it is interesting to follow this work ... :) Greetz from Belgium and hup to the next video

[@ThePhilClark]

Dude, it is nice to see Kona's transformation. I hate having to wait for the next episode! Hope it comes soon. Aloha!

WoW, overwhelmed me about your project of that Volkswagen bus. Where did it sits since you buy it? I would not want to do the project if it sat by ocean or flood. Did your project done and with you in Hawaii?

[@shanegreen2583]

Great videos MicBergma. Up to episode 15 now and loving it! Do you think in hindsight you would have done the axles and all your work in the early videos last after al the body build if you got to do this again?

[@steveb7583]

Great channel , its gonna be one awesome bus when its done, Editing is really good too,
