Put the spare tire on top of the hood ( just like the original Kübelwagen )

WHAT A DORK

Aloha from sunny Arizona! I started rehabbing a '75 beater last year. Used yer vid on Konis and man am I glad I have those. Now I am installing new window seals (after a whole buncha mechanical stuff, but that's another story). My poor channels were much more rusted and I used the fiberglass method to repair her. They are finished and I've installed the rear hatch and passenger side non vent window seals. So glad I came across another one of your videos! My vent glass frames were rusted beyond repair and boy is it a struggle to get all that mess back into one piece! But they are ready for install and this video is greatness! Beauty! Mahalo for the ohana you bring to this community. Thanks for the leg up!

Toyota should issue a safety recall on these, had one side fly off on the highway narrowly missing a car behind me who had to swerve to avoid it. Poor thinking on Toyotas behalf

That’s so awesome. I have a 71 orange and white, hightop Adventurewagen as well. You don’t see that top too often. Thank you for the video!

Yep...My drip molding (long piece) comes off every time I go through the car wash. Putting it back in the track is just part of my "post wash" routine now...LOL. I've been considering using the double sided tape as well. Thanks for the tip!

Great job quite professional pacing is excellent camera angles are excellent I look forward to seeing the automation and remote control so you could turn it on in a remote location.

Thanks for sharing! Excellent job. Very helpful to have your experience as a reference. At 12:21 time …is there a cap on the open shift rod at the front end of the bus? (on the end you cleaned super well)

Very helpful. Thank you.

The Redline rebuild kits for the 34 ICT have a brass needle valve vs the epoxy (or what ever it is) covered one. The non-brass one does deform and create a vacuum leak. Perhaps that's your issue?

I just looked at my 72 bus and it doesn't look like your setup, can't see a hole for a coupler. Bentley manual says, on 72 models only, the flexible coupling is installed on a seperate extension rod that is bolted to the end of the rear shift rod.

Excellent advice here. I'm replacing the R molding on my wife's truck. Came loose after a car wash. I don't understand why Toyota does not glue them down in the factory...oh wait. They want us to buy more parts!

Hi there. It's been almost a year now. How is the bond between the bedliner and the fiberglass holding up? I'm about to bedline a custombuilt teardrop camper with a fiberglass roof and I'm concerned about the primer recommendations vs bare fiberglass under the bedliner.

Yea its a starte but i got terible rasist neibours quite close think yust drill holes in the pipe😊

Sprayers under Eve's also

Uhh uh um uhhhm. Never heard uhhh so much in my life! UHHH 😂 uhh UHHHM uhhh. Had to uhhh eventually mute the video....Uhhh

How long did you wait with the key back on after turning off for the light to come back on? If it comes on right away, that’s supposed to be assigned of worn out bearings clearances too high. If it takes a long time for the light to come back on after you turn the engine off that’s a good thing. some of those pressure switches are set at five psi seven psi and 10 psi.

Glad it wasn’t something serious! Good job

Great video!! This was very inspiring.

Mine rood molding was loose but I caught in time before it fell off. I used 3M red tape which designed for outdoor body emblems which holds up very well for my roof moldings. I think the molding loosens up from all the vibration from the vehicle. I also feel that people who lost their molding in car wash. The molding was loose prior to the car wash and during the process the molding came off. Rarely does any one wax their car roof to check the roof molding.

This is the amazing shop that did the work: Mendo Customs: 707-972-0686

What a transformation! The new paint looks killer. How's the bed-liner paint on the high top bus holding up? I'm thinking about tackling that project on mine...

Beautiful! I love the color and the paint job! I can't wait to see future videos of you cruising around in it!

Hi! I'm looking to do the same to my 1974 VW bus. What size sheet of plywood did you use? A standard 4x8 then cut it to fit? I measured my bus out to be 5'2" x 5'.

that is just way more difficult than it needs to be 🤦‍♂

Thank you! I need to make some modifications to my 74 Westy and can't bring myself to drill the stock cabinet. This is exactly what I needed to see. My carpentry skills are absolute garbage and it will not be as great as yours.

Thanks so much from down in Australia! This video helped so much as I’ve just popped the 1/4 window in now moving onto the 3/4 glass! Cheers for sharing was a huge help!

I had a similar noise coming from the engine in my Karmann Ghia. I ended up loosening the four bolts fastening the generator to the fan shroud and the two bolts holding the shroud down at the sides. Spinning the generator with the belt removed I could hear a definite metallic rubbing sound (slightly non concentric). With the pedestal holding the generator being in a fixed position, I gave the shroud a bit of a wiggle and it stopped rubbing. I tightened up the shroud end bolts and then the four generator bolts (in that order) and the noise was gone. 😄 I realise this video is 11 months old but your fuel filter is the wrong way around and should ideally be located away from the engine bay area. Over the gearbox (transmission) or under the fuel (gas) tank are the safest places to avoid a potential engine fire. Thanks for the video. Interesting to know that generator bearings don't always last for ever. 😉Hang loose! 🤟ATB from the UK

Thank you sooooo much! ❤️

I.ve had one of these well over 4 yrs now. never a problem. maybe just one, the engine is running before I can let off the key. But ten I also use a imi starter. The only reason when cold that push the pedal down, is to set the choke. I try to do that before hitting the key

Any leaks so far ?

My seal has a vertical section at the back of the window frame (Rhight hand side once installed). Did you have to cut the gasket for the pivot ? I have the rear side in, and just did the tail gate glass, now to go do the 3 with the vent window. And 3 years later, I don't have any expectations you remember silly details like that. It's amazing how much we let go. I will sit and figure it out.

Great vid

Where did you get the weather strips?

Very good details, thank you very much.

Nice! Going this route for our Thing. Happy there is a good AT available for those of us that like to get our Things dirty ✌️

Right on thanks, now I can put mine back on, It's been sitting in my back seat for 2 months haha.

Siiiiick

Thanks a mil! I didn't have that bushing either. This explains why I was having a hard time going through the gears.

It looks like your garages and homes are really close. If the neighbors home or garage are on fire you will want a sprinkler wetting down your exterior walls. It looks like your roof over hang and your gutters are keeping your exterior walls dry.. Great job being prepared way too many homeowners wait until it is too late. 30 year ff here.

Great Job. I Replaced Hundreds Of These Springs When I Worked For Volkswagen Dealerships For 33 Years Starting In 1975 On Type 1 - 2 And 3 Air Cooled Volkswagens.

Great job fixing noise. As far as pulling the engine. Well it’s a learning lesson. We all do this type of thing at some time in our projects.

So glad I found this video. I have been putting this fix off for quite some time. I did notice your fuel exhaust lines. Would you mind telling me how you have it connected where it curves at the middle of the engine. Mine is missing the pieces there; I saw you had a T that connects to the fuel exhaust coming from the right and the other line goes towards the firewall. Any info on parts/pieces and the tubing you used would be greatly appreciated

I have to say I was really rooting for you to be able to just pull the fan shroud and have access to the mounts. That’s what I have ahead of me today. Thanks for posting.

Did you notice there was 2 different sides of the door seal? Which side did you put where please?

Im already running a electric fuel pump...with a relay...and a 30amp fues can i just tap in to wires i already have

Hey howzit? Exactly the advice I was lookin for! Mahalo nui loa! 🤙🏾

thanks very cool video.

Thanks brother.

Helping hint soak the inside of your forms with diesel fuel before you put your concrete in. It helps when it comes time to remove the concrete from the forms. Do it on fresh wood and clean well after with water after using them. Then treat again right before your next batch.
