Hi Mike & Beautiful Lady Kona❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!! How are you both doing?? We can’t wait to see the final reveal of this majestic Lady!! Kona, we all truly love you so much because you’re a hero to us all!!

[@PortalFPV]

Sandblasting is such soothing mindless work...and oddly gratifying

[@PhilG999]

I gotta say you two (and the shop folk helping) are among the coolest people I've never met! 🤟

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Phil!

[@uliausdemschwabenlandle372]

You are really having a great time with your bus. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@MicBergsma]

Happy to share! More to come!

[@Pete_R63]

I am dying to see this thing finished and running in Maui!!!!

[@MicBergsma]

Will happen!

[@Pete_R63]

@@MicBergsma I'm hoping!! I'd make a special trip to Hawaii just to see it (well, and do some scuba diving, wing foiling, and whatever else I can do out there!).

[@MicBergsma]

@@Pete_R63 yes!!

17:40 Claudio shapes metal again... Wow! I've been waiting this for a long time! ;-)

Lake Tahoe is awesome. I use to live in Reno for 3 years. Made a few trips up to Tahoe. The water is never warm. You are crazy. lol It is a real treat every time you post a new episode. It's all coming together. Cheers!

Claudio is a Merlin of body work. This shop is just what I would go to if I had a restoration work to do. Thank you guys for posting this and doing so much work with difficult living situations.

[@tomsummers1137]

Hey…I almost forgot about this. Stopped at WCM on my way to Prado 2021. Happy to help Mitch and Lori.

Vraiment du bon travail, un grand bravo à votre épouse pour son travail à la sableuse

[@mrwaffles1394]

Good man, Claudio. Much better to have too much than not enough. Will probably be the first 21 window without leaks.

[@MicBergsma]

Finger crossed no leak 😂

[@iamhutt]

What a great way to start the day!!!!. Good morning and welcome back, Guy from Oz. Cant wait to sit back and enjoy.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MicBergsma]

Good morning back to ya 😎🤙🏼

[@lycan6293]

I love watching these videos of the restoration of Kona the Van. I have to say also thanks for all the Burgman videos, since I ride a 2014 650 burgman the videos have come in handy at times.

[@carlslater753]

Kona is starting to take shape , can't wait to see more.

[@timgouine9844]

Keep up the good work. It looks good, and I hope you have fun driving it. VW's rock.

[@deanrobinson3717]

Excellent vid again Mitch

[@HubertusSchaper]

If you remember we started uround the same time of year of restoration from our projects, you with Kona the Bus and I with my VW T3 single cab from 1982. so it might be we drive our VW in 2023. all the best wishes to you & Lori, see you in the next vid. Greetings🇺🇸👍🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱☮🤗,Hubertus.

[@davidhomen4528]

I gotta give a big kudos to Lori to be able to handle the Vacaville heat! I grew up in Sacramento and not to many ladies could deal with it! I spent most of my life on Folsom lake!

[@MicBergsma]

Oh man yeah, I'm lucky I found this girl! I bet, I heard that Folsom lake is so low! 😰

[@davidhomen4528]

The droughts have been really bad lately.

[@dave1135]

I have to say, this is going to be the most perfect, 0defect bus ever, factory new buses didn't roll off Volkswagen's assembly line this perfect! It's taking a while, but it will be worth it.

[@MicBergsma]

😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Amazing, it is October 2022, must take a long time to edit videos is the bus done now , time stamp for this video June 2021

[@MicBergsma]

Editing takes a very long time! It's only myself and Lori doing it

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

That is what I thought I don’t like editing, I keep things simple, your bus is looking great, I need a HO scale version for my HO layout

[@danielhelbig1116]

It’s definitely come a long way since the start good work

hello, i follow you from italy, you are great keep it up. the videos of the volkswagen T1 are top! also the body shop that helps you all very good !!!! I am restoring a fiat 500f after this it would be nice to make a T1 but it would cost very, very much!!

[@chopperhehehe]

I would love to have your heat problem . I think we are 12+ and always wet even when sun is out lol its going forward on van peachy 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🦕😁✌️🤞

Don't forget the back up lights!

[@MicBergsma]

I have an idea for backup light, you will see ... but won't cut the holes ... keep this as "early 67 mode" .... late 67 model have backup lights like bay window buses

[@angelsoterojr]

Awesome 👌

[@ndf.freitas]

Muito bom...! Caminhando para o final desta sua saga... Estou torcendo para que tudo dê certo. Parabéns ao casal. Um abraço de Salvador/BA/Brasil. Very good...! Moving towards the end of this saga of yours... I'm praying that everything works out. Congratulations to the couple. A hug from Salvador/BA/Brazil.

I'm impressed with the number of parts this bus has. Have you tried counting how many you have?

[@MicBergsma]

It's crazy!! I wish I did count but I think I could do that... 😄

[@Sojourning_]

wonderful video: although I been retired for many years; I was a heavy equipment mechanic, working out side much of my life; I know CA hot, CA desert hot. rough; everyone hung in there like troopers. awesome work the body man is doing. you have a lovely looking wife. I can see she isn't put off by some hard work:

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you Jim! Yeah working in the heat is crazy, too hard to film like that... camera hate it, but not us haha. She's awesome, she wants to get bus done so let's goooo! :)

[@rajiv4972]

Awesome….been waiting!

[@MicBergsma]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@davidhomen4528]

This is one of the best restorations I've seen. You are covering and protecting all the nooks and cranies. It will last for ever in Hawaii! What did you use in the areas that made such a mess?

[@davidhomen4528]

That salt air in Hawaii will find its way to the smallest areas.

[@MicBergsma]

Thank you David! Are you new to this series? Yeah bus and Hawaii... that's challenging ... wish we could just dip bus into paint pool haha. I used this amzn.to/3zpQXA9

[@Vidar.m]

I would want a Subaru boxer engine, and upgraded brakes. 😏

[@KA4UPW]

Would rather rhis be two 22min episodes than one long one! Thanks

[@MicBergsma]

stop it at 22 minutes and watch the other 22 mins a different day

whew....that's alot of work 😳

[@MicBergsma]

Yeah crazy crazy crazy crazy!! 😆

[@mokokawi]

@@MicBergsma 😆

[@vegelvega1765]

Thank you for all the videos. But it was a very long time ago, more than a year. Has Kona been finished in the meantime? Why are you so long behind with the videos?

[@barryford7135]

That’s what I was thinking?

[@MicBergsma]

I don't have a production team that works for me. I edit all my own content. As you see I"m working on the bus and filming while the shop is open M-F 8 hours a day.. so that leaves me little to no time to edit. Editing these videos is no easy task. Just like a tv show.. they film it .. then it goes into post production (editing)

[@christianwerner5199]

I like how he says only the best when he,s driving the worst a motor cycle is safer then that thing.

[@rush2112andahalf]

Ye have the patience of Job...

[@mokokawi]

maybe put a rubber insulation beteen clock and metal,to keep vibration off clock....we'll might not be that much vibration there

[@MicBergsma]

Good idea, will test that 👍🏼
