Interior! 1970 VW Bus Restoration | Underwood Garage 11
Ойын-сауық
Join my wife and I as we do our best to get this old VW camper bus back on the road.
In this episode, I showcase some of the interior progress.
Slowly this VW restoration is coming together! Thanks for watching!
We hope to do some traveling and camping in it once it is restored and roadworthy.

There’s nothing better than when a Kombi comes back together and that ‘dack, dack, dack’ trucks you on down the road, superb job.🤟🏻 ‘Roberta’ would be a fitting name, if you’re into naming things.

This is my first time here. I was watching this because I want to get a VW and I was thinking about interior design. And then I saw the Oklahoma licence plate. Nice!

Between the upholstery and woodwork, this is coming along primo!! Also, you need a "grease and grace" bumper sticker, and maybe t-shirts.

Nice bus, the paint looks great for diy in your garage... Hey build an attachment for the bus to mow your back 40 acres! Hang in there with that transaxle, I once drove 400 miles in my '65 bug with just 2nd & 4th gear from the San Francisco Bay Area to LA, over the grape vine mountain.... wasn't fun, but kept me awake after college finals week! Ahhh the days....
What a lovely bus you have . 👍🏻

Hi, I am restoring a 70 VW early bay Westfalia like yours. Would it be possible to get the dimensions of the back square cushion that rests over the engine, mines completely missing but I’m pretty handy with a sewing machine. If not no worries I’ll continue my dimensional quest.
Love the colour so much! Thanks for the update you two beauts are doing a fab and inspiring job!
Looks Fantastic Clark! Keep up the good work!

love the shirt! Your wife did amazing job on the cushions! Your bus would look really nice with a sidestep. Check them out on bus Depot's website they're actually not too expensive and they're pretty helpful. It's really coming along in it and we are so happy to see you as happy as you are about it that's what it's all about! Are you going to build the side closet next to the bed?

Thanks I’ll looks at the side steps! I am planning on building a flip top storage box the same height as the arm rest. I am sure there are lots of people that would have like to see it all go back original - but I’d much prefer to have that window to see out of.

Nice bus. I drive a 70 tintop westy here in the Tulsa area. I need to put some videos of it on my channel. Have you replaced the master cylinder yet? If so where did you buy it? I'm searching for one.

Thanks! I did replace it and believe I bought it from wolfsburg west.
Have you fixed the issue with gear popping out of fourth. Can you please me know what you had to do or any replacement parts you considered. Really appreciate it ! Great video
Great restoration. Did you have to anything with the louvered windows? My ‘70 needs a little help with seals and tightening up the mechanics. Keep on buggen. 👍🙏❤️

There is a larger piece of wood behind the panel that the hinges mount to.
Excellent work, you two! The bus looks and sounds so fine. Hope you get your transmission sorted out. My last VW Bus popped out of 4th gear, also. Happy Trails

Hey Just a ? Are you going to build the side closet next to the bed

No I am going to build a flip-top box the same height as the armrest to fill that gap. I prefer having a window. No need for a closet in my use case.
Wow, this thing might be done by 2023. Lol.

What kind of mileage are you getting? I only seam to get 10 to 12 mpg on my 73 bus. I have been following you all since the redwood trip in the old bus. I wish I would have done a frame off restoration like you did on the new bus but I did it like you on your first bus, with the exact same problems. I feel your pain !

Life is about the journey, not always about the prize. He had a great time doing it.
VW making mechanics out of regular people for 70 years-- get a bunggi cord for 4th gear- ask any old splitty driver-- also loved your first bus restore - gees what a project--
really could have done a better job adding a bunch of heavy wood makes it a lot slower
how does this video have 36,000 views it’s a video about a bus that has already been restored LOL
