Thanks! Yeah for sure, I'm glad to get this video up to help others

What a great presenter, free from the usual bullshit and using as many original parts as possible, rather than building a vehicle from all new parts. Originality is everything. Well done mate.

That has got to be one of the best videos out about how to tackle all the lower bus issues. Nice job.

My VW was a 1972 camper... I had her for 30 yrs. I love watching your videos Mic ...!

Wow ... Claudio has "Golden Hands", finishing so fine and adjusting with metal ... and what a patience and craftsmanship that he has ... handsome ... I'm looking forward to the next episode greetings from Belgium and have a Happy Season !!!

My favorite, so far of all of your videos! You are very fortunate to have found a craftsman like Robert to help you with this restoration as the care he puts into his work is rare and really is beyond any dollar value, especially years on down the line! I particularly enjoy the body work part of the restoration process as there is something truly satisfying in watching what was rusted, rotting sheet metal returned to it's original form, and your video work provided a comprehensive non-verbal step by step instruction of the process that would allow a viewer (with loads of additional technical learning) to replicate this kind of thorough, step by step process. It would be great to watch you, having learned throughout this project, tackle (with documentation, of course) another project like this and perhaps pass on to someone else all that you have learned along the way.

If there wasn't an ocean and a continent btw us I'd take my rusty Beetle to Robert and crew .... ur lucky Mic.

Oh yeah.

Its was very smart of you to decide to get this project welded up by guys with lots of experience, in the end you'll know you got a great van that's done properly. Really like that air hacksaw that tool is brilliant. When I did do body work years ago we never had those available, cool tool for sure.

Man that was a pleasure to watch. Roberts crew is amazing. This is inspiring me to get back on my bus. Thank you.

And this is a southern bus! I can’t imagine finding one of these in New England. Just start at the roof and weld your way down!

Hi Eric, Green, grey, black metals all from different companies, colors are already coated by primer paint .. I wish I have time to edit video and post right away... I have hundred of videos like three years behind that been sitting to be edited... it is very hard to edit all videos by myself. I couldn't afford to hire editor to catch up 🤪 Thank you, yes it's so good to know Skinner and his crew! Great people! Thanks for stopping by! More episodes coming!

Just subscribed. When I look at those cross members I see those metal fence posts that are green and are used for barbed wire or that square fencing. It seems that they could be used. I will let you know when I star my restoration.
