    Yes. I bet he would get so many followers. He would probably have to pay someone to film him though. That’s a whole job in itself that takes a lot away from work.

    Don't feel so bad about the delays Mitch . I'm working on a motorhome over the pond , and i can tell you all about delays . Rebuilt the cooling system , 13 months . Rebuilt the power steering , 3 years and counting . Electrical system , 2 years . I could go on , but i won't bore you , it's all through trying to source parts . And this is a twenty three year old vehicle Fiat based van , god knows what you're going through with a 56 year old . At least you have the after market companies to help ya , i don't even have that ! I love watching old motors come back to life , and man , that bus is looking seriously good . Just keep at it mate , it's a stunner .

    You are one lucky man Mic. Lori has to put up with a lot of inconvenience living in a vw bus. And she is such a great helper. She wants to get that bus done so she can go back to Hawaii. 😂 I know this video is from 2021 so you all are probably already there chilling but make sure you good to her. She is a keeper. 😂 catch you on the next video!
