    Ah, the high-quality workmanship and simplicity of early Volkswagens is sorely missed! As I personally remember, the world was *a lot different* the last time this Volkswagen bus was on the road (and I was a lot younger). In those days, there were *two* Germanys.

    It is an example of perseverance and effort, but above all of the passion for mechanics, it is not a job, it is a pleasure.
    This series of videos has made me bring to my mind and senses the time when my grandfather drove a vw panel just like yours.

    I was 17 in 1992 when I bought a "stacked" 1966 Deluxe Bus for $1800. It sat in my driveway for 6 months and on the last day of high school I drove it to school. I kept it for 2 years before I realized I needed a safer more reliable daily driver (the seals in the windows sucked and it was always cold inside). At any rate I ended up selling it for $1200 and taking a $3000 check from a settlement after an accident. That was another reason I let it go. At any rate we had to do an overhaul initially to get it on the road. We threw in an additional $2200 for engine parts, replacement front end, electrical rewiring, and other needs. I am happy I got rid of it but sad those 2 years ended so soon. It just was not the vehicle to have at the time.
    I know how stoked you were when you saw it running! It is excelerating when a "plan comes together!"

    You made a great job. I hope, you let as much as possible of the original parts in the truck? He have such an amazing patina, please conserve it for preventing further rust but don't make a "new" car out of it. The rust is part of its history and makes him to an special, unique time-capsula, I think!

    The first car I bought for myself was Dove Blue 1962 Standard Bus. I paid $475 and traded my 10 speed bike to a hippie who thought the bus meant he owned too much! Many an adventure would follow as I learned how to keep it fixed and running thanks to John Muir. I rolled it a couple of years later and I still got $425 for it even with the crumpled roof and body damage. It was not yet rusty, but I can’t imagine that it still survives

    Recheck the torque of your nuts and bolts, and readjust the brakes now that things have moved and started to settle in. Once you've got her properly together, recheck after say 500 miles as you are in effect, running it in like a new motor again

    SUCCESS of phase 1! Now to get it out to the farm for the next phase! Remarkable what you have done in your home garage! One suggestion: make sure you have a good, heavy ground to your engine. Especially important on a 6 volt system, as your amp draw will be twice what it would be on a 12 volt system. I would suggest conversion to 12 volts when practical. 6 volt stuff is getting pretty expensive and hard to find. Your 6 volt starter should be fine, and a later generator or alternator conversion will be the main expenses, and a 12 volt gas gauge, and sender maybe.
