Ойын-сауық

Join my wife and I as we do our best to get this old VW camper bus back on the road.
We hope to do some travelling in it once it is restored and roadworthy.

    I really enjoyed seeing you two in a longer form video, sharing more of yourselves. Looks like a lot of work you have taken on. My favorite car ever was my old ‘72 VW MicroBus. Bought it from my brother-in-law, who had built a racing engine for it. He builds and races VW dragsters for a hobby. I lived in that bus for most of ‘85. It was wonderful. Best Of Luck

    Really enjoyed your first adventure. You are both charming and nice people.As true VWer's are. A well done little movie. I hoped you would get a Type 2. My first Westy,and the one I learned from. Much easier to do yourself. I don't want to cause trouble,but please,pay no attention to those VW "impurists",that want to defile a beautiful aircooled,with a Suburu. Not that there is anything wrong with them. But they belong in a Suburu. I am incredibly impressed with your hard work,ingenuity,and thank you for saving another fine old VW. Look forward to more VW life entertainment, from your garage. They aren't just fun transportation. They are a virus. Tshirt,here I come. Terry

    That's so wild that you guys ran into someone at the gas station that was towing a bus too haha. This is so awesome though...I am currently living out of my jeep and traveling around the US full-time, documenting my travels over on my channel. I am always keeping an eye on craigslist in whatever town I'm in for these. Hoping to be living in one by next year.

    Cool new project I watched your last project. Lots of props you totally took that thing with no prior knowledge. That is totally commendable and inspiring. Your project is very similar to mine. I have a 1970 Westy and have struggled teaching myself how to do many things. I try to do as much myself and pretty much have been able to stick to that. You can see some of videos. My editing skills are not on par with yours so it may be kinda sucky at times sorry. Le t me know if you need any advise to avoid making the same mistakes I did. One tip I will give right now is to not worry about the appearance of the outside and focus on the mechanical first. If you want to do rust repair that is fine but mechanical is way more important and nowadays people appreciate the patina of original paint as much as a nicely painted bus

    Im actually doing that with mine lol just pulled the engine, its an ej22 with 60k miles for $550. Its really the best way to go if its a bus that will be driven daily. If you are just restoring for the originality then you would go with an original VW engine.
