El mejor programa que e visto
MicBergsma any new updates re ur bus?
Not only do you do amazing technology and gopro reviews, but you are also restoring one of the most awesome vehicles ever created the VW Bus. Man, I'm glad I came across your channel and great job on doing the work yourself. I am a parts manager for a classic car restoration shop, so anytime I see someone working on their own vehicle and learning how to do it lets me know the passion is still alive in the classic car world.
What a delightful guy , he's got a beautiful smile
Aww thank you! 😊
I love how caring he was about the tarantula and not bothering it! So nice!
😄👍🏼❤️
Been working on cars (and VW) for 50 years and I still use bags whenever it's going to be a long term job. (paper bags in the old days) Yeah, I know what the parts look like but it saves a lot of time when you do assembly weeks or months later.
I like the way you bag things and label them. It's like a forensic investigation. BTW, instead of hitting metal on metal, put a piece of hardwood against the thing you are knocking loose and hit that with the hammer. Less chance of damaging the parts.
Thanks Mic! I love the baby trantula!
Me too!
How cool. I restoring a 71 bus. I found that when you get the window seals use Wolfsburg West. I always used WCM but now they don’t have the fit they used to. Also, Bus Depot in Pennsylvania have good stuff. Between those two you should get everything. I love that patina. Like faded jeans.
Volkswagons, what a cool passion, I had a 65 bug...painted Indian war paint on the front of it when I was out in Colorado, Had to sell it for bus fair back home oh. Here's the cool thing... I saw it in a movie a year or so later … with the war paint still. Good luck with the project!
Wow that's really cool! Wish you still have it! Thanks!
"I know...!! Bug on man! "Enjoy...
Crazy to look back and see how far Kona has come along!! 🤙
😄🤙🏼
Hi, I've just found your youtube channel, im in the middle of learning sign, as i was born deff in my right ear, and now starting to lose my hearing altogether, and find your videos a great help keep up the good work, im also starting to restore mopeds and 125 cc, many thanks matt
That's cool Matt!!
I've seen this before but had to watch it again. This guy is so cool!
Kona has come a long way!
When knocking out old bolts it's always best to keep the nut on the thread to stop the bolt being burred at the end. Also, try using a nylon mallet to knock them out and not a ball hammer or claw hammer!!
CusterUK1 ok thanks for the tip👍🏼
Nice work! Remember this project is one of those projects that will get deeper and deeper every time you go to do something, costing more and more time and money. However it is so much fun and you will learn a ton (and people will be very excited for your work).
Skater Stimm So true. If I were him I would leave the paint the way it is. The new logo and mirrors look good against it, as will new rubber, upholstery etc. looks like it was a driver so the engine might be ok.
@@linebacker79 He has a lot of rotten areas, he needs to take care of that first but if he kept the faded paint look it would look very cool athough that is very hard when you need to replace large sections of metal.
YESSSSS!!! Bus videos!! I love the bus! if you need to get rust off bolts or anything there is a thing called Evapo-rust. you put parts in it overnight and it totally takes ALL rust off the parts!! I love that stuff ..cant wait to see it all done!!
😄🙌🏼 Ahh sweet I should try that!! Thanks for the tip!! 🙏🏼
ooooh Yeh I just learnt that the bolts need to come all the way out before the pins will come out... 8:30mins thanks Mic
You're very positive guy :)
😄🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
One of my dream cars! 😍
I'm starting to watch your VW adventure. Will binge watch over the holiday weekend! yes!
Hope you enjoy! 😄👍🏼
Awsome! been waiting for this video and to see the bus again! i have found that Liquid Wrench penetrating fluid works the best, some of my hardware on my bus was so rusty they almost snapped when removing. a little heat around the bolt will also help things break free. impact screw drivers are a bonus too! Great video!
Thanks Adam! Ahh yes finally I am so behind with us videos... gonna keep up with that! Thanks for the tip!!! 🙌🏼
Mad respect for restoring this thing
Idk why but I love watching these restoration videos.
Hey greetings from Ireland wear eye protection rubber gloves a lot of chemicals today are bad stuff been working on engine s 30years gud luck with the build
You are my new NETFLIX!
I am so happy to see how fast your channel is growing and I hope you will hit that 1 million soon.
Thanks Luka! Yeah me too! 😄👍🏼👍🏼❤️
When installing the star wheel brake adjusters in the wheel cylinders lubricate them first so that later on the brake shoes can be adjusted as needed!
Waited so long for this! Can't wait for part 2 ^^
Hope you enjoying the series!
Sweet! Thanks for sharing the progress! So crazy to see all the work needed and all the parts. That's cool that you kept everything in bags. I wasn't as organized when I restored my bus and some things took longer and cost more because of my lack of organization. Good work dude, take care!
Anytime!! Yeah! I feel overwhelmed thinking about how much work I have to do to the bus but focus on one thing at a time... and I love working on it too! Haha oh man yeah I learned from a friend years ago and it helps take things done faster! Thanks man!
OK. I gotta learn sign language.
This guy is way too cute to spend the whole video looking down at the subtitles. 😍👍🏻
Love the bus man! I'll be waiting for the update
He might be new to the Vw van community, yet you can tell he knows his shit....good job...
This is really cool your like the american wheeler dealers TV show. I from UK
I've seen a lot of vehicle restoration videos on UA-cam and this is by far my favorite one!
I_Dont_Eat_My_Friends thank you !
All the best bringing this cool old VW back to life! 👍🏼
Yeah Chris! 🙌🏼
Ура! наконец то продолжение истории )) надеюсь последующие серии не заставят себя долго ждать.
😄🙌🏼 Да, я тоже надеюсь, что следующее видео скоро появится, может быть, через неделю!
Such a solid Van for an old Splitty
BTW MicBergsma, you are on an Australian TV ad played at prime time :)
Good luck with the bus, we had a 1976 model VW Kombi for years
Hey Hugh Jazz, haha that's awesome!! Thank you! That's cool! I am looking forward to keep mine for years 🤗🙏🏼
Good job! Lovely vehicle and great project. Congratulations to both of you.
Thank you very much!
I enjoy all of your videos! I had a 73 Beetle back in 1992 when I was in High School that was fun to work on. I'd love to restore a Bus. I've always been fond of the front pop-out safari windows.
Thank you Jason! That's awesome!! Yes love safari windows on bus!
cant wait on ep2!!
Yeah!🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love it about of Volkswagen things and i happy with you were sign language this vlog awesome for me lol
That looks like a lot of work and money I hope for you that this project finishes up quickly. 👍
Oh man yeah it is!! But worth it! I am working hard to save up and finish it asap... I try 🙏🏼
Great you are here. Cant wait to see how it comes out.
Thanks John!

I love the video i Can't wait for part 2!!!
Saludos cordiales hermano. Yo también le estoy dando amor a una combi 90'. Primera vez que te veo y digo tus vídeos de la combi. Saludos cordiales hermano desde tierra Azteca. Sigue adelante!!!!!!!!
Peace and Love!
Dude I am really digging the patina on your Bus. Also love the shirt. Keep it up with progress videos.
Hello guy. Great job you make in your VW bus.
Congratulations. Best regards from Brazil.
un saludo de chile,eres un gringo super simpatico y hiperkinetico,gran trabajo,media mente hermano.
Good night! Very good to your restoration. I will watch all the episodes
Молодец!!! парень так держать! удачи в твоих задумках.а вообще, приезжайте в гости в Россию,жду вашего ответа)
I love these buses, i used to own one but it was too far rusted for me to repair it as i still live with my parents and havent got a lot of funding. Im really looking forward to part 2 since i want to see these things get worked on. I personally own a bit more of a modern minibus/van in the form of a suzuki super carry.
Looking forward to part two, I have two 1967 buses ; one is a camper bus the other like yours; both need a lot of work. Been a slow process keep running into health issues, but I will keep at them . I have a lot of fellow you tuber's supporting me leaving positive comments . I sub to your channel after seeing your video on picking up this bus. Keep up the good work.
こんにちは。出来上がりがとても楽しみです。頑張ってください。自分も１５Ｗ乗っているのでよろしくお願い致します。
Hi Mic- Did you ever think you would be still posting videos about Kona's restoration three years later??? Have you considered doing a video which compares Episode 1 with where you are at currently in the process?
Niceeee... can’t wait for the next episode!!!
😄🤙🏼
Hi MicBergsma, I’ve just found your channel, love the clarity of the videoing, you can clearly see what’s going on and with clear explanations of what you’re doing makes good viewing. I’m in the UK and have a 1967 Morris Traveller, I too am doing some renovations but don’t have much mechanical knowledge so it’s a slow process for me.
Looking forward to catching up on the rest of your vids.
Cheers Mike.
Nice grass roots restoration. I appreciate the date stamp you include in your video clips. Keep it up!
You sound like a great guy hope you keep doing videos with vw s
i like the way you talk, has such a happy tone to it! :D
it's so BRIGHT!
He pulls a rear view mirror out of a box.
I go, "Ooooooooooh" like I’m watching fireworks.
Clearly, I’ve found my people. 😜😎
great video! i want one of these so unbelievably bad.
Thanks Tony! You should get one! Easy to find one for sale on thesamba forum
That's an incredible project !!!
Thanks Newton! 🙏🏼
I love your channel and don't feel like people don't like you because you use sighn language every one is different and that makes you speachal
This is from a ten year old boy
Good Luck with the bus hope it all works out and you get to travel once it's done!
Nice Job!!!..these restorations from 1 guy are top!

I’m looking forward to seeing how this project goes. I would suggest using Liquid Wrench on bolts that are hard to remove. Best of luck!
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi Mic!! Remember when you dismount diffrent parts from the Bus you have to mount them again in the opposite way as you removet them.

Nice VW project - plenty of spare copy parts. Although that rust gives it character for a photo shoot.
Some clubs/forums in the U.K. that can help.
