Thanks again, Gary

I love Gary's attitude... 'You can fix anything mate'... I guess it is just about learning and trying.

You have to love an air cooled VW. They do have a soul. I owned a bus like the on here for a few months and really loved it. I drove it more than the Merc W116 450 SE I had at the time. Yeah, I now, I'm very odd.

I like the stereo effect on the sound. It's great with headphones on. Nice to watch.

Thanks for the video Gary, to start our 1st Kings birthday long weekend here in New Zealand awesome memories of 70's endless summers down the beach, surfing camping in a mates VW. Great times. Thanks again. Ken Lord 😊

What a lovely fella he is and what an amazing little garage. You’d never guess that was in that side street.

The Vw are great cars and for me some great memories. Simple to work on and the just kept going. That Vw man is an absolute gent and a world of knowledge. Great video

Sir, we all know you are a great Actor no doubt about that, but your mechanical skills are superb and I think you would have got on very well with an uncle of mine as he like you could repair anything. All your videos have been superb so please keep them coming.

Your comments about the electric power steering really improving the driving experience in your VW was a surprise. Growing up we had a ‘68 T2 and I never remember my Mum or Dad complaining about the steering effort. I guess they were different times! My father even developed his own CDI ignition system for our T2 which worked brilliantly and improved reliability. Thanks for the vid, looking forward to watching Part 2 now. Cheers

Never owned a VW…… but used to drive a van in the 70’s for a friend an his business….1600cc Wand for a gearstick…. An upright steering wheel( my bloody back)…… but you know what I loved it…… we used to load it to the gunalls…. With cakes an biscuits…. For delivery😉👌🏼

Thank you Gary and Luke for this great episode,

We can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort to make these Quality videos

Another of your great videos Its seems like a Discovery,documentary.

Excellent video Gary - Thank You

I brought a t2 camper in 1976 for 25pounds it would only go backwards in forward gears and forward in reverse, fun getting it home , rang VW in Germany eventually as I could not get it working, and no one had a clue a nice guy from technical dept said just swap the reduction gears over in the rear arms , worked a treat , wish I still had it 😢
