What a job Claudio has done on the bus, and everything to perfection!!!
What a guy!!!👍👍👍
Have no fear...Claudio is here. 💪
The concentration and years of experience on getting that body line and those small spaces and gaps to perfection. A lot of patience. Awesome work, Claudio. Lori is also mastering the sanding awesome job. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙
It is really nice to see Kona going back together... piece by piece... and with a lot of love and care. Thanks for sharing this epic build/restoration. We owned a 73 bus when I was a teenager... and I loved that thing. We could fit EVERYTHING in there, especially our bikes... and it would always get better than 30 miles to the gallon. My Mom did all the maintenance and repair work on "Bertha" because her hands/fingers were small enough to fit in tight spaces, unlike my Step Dad's. We went camping... to the races...all sorts of places in Bertha... and my two older step sisters learned how to drive in Bertha. The oldest, Kim, I think is the one and only person in the world who managed to get the VW Bus to do a wheelie on an all-stock set up when she was learning to drive stick. Anyway, I'm really enjoying your uploads.
Way to go. Not like you to fall asleep on the job.. bus is really taking shape. Thanks for bringing the episodes out quicker now. Bring on 57
The tow bar is a thing of beauty, and the vintage speed exhaust, just wow
Absolutely spot on, great bumper hidden tow hitch, was good to see old faces, Kona is looking great, can't wait for paint, Lori is a great sander, Hope you are both well
That hitch receiver is really a nice touch! It's nice that it supports the bumper too!
The attention to quality in every smallest detail, is simply astonishing! I can't believe it is possible to keep the energy up, and maintain the focus for such a long time.
it's a challenge to keep on it for so long and keep positive!
Top level build dude really knows his stuff
何でかな、こう言う直したり作ったりしてる動画見るとワクワクしちゃうんだよね😊❤
写ってる兄貴や姉さん達の、仕事振りも丁寧かつ大胆だし素晴らしいよ。俺も、こう言う人達になら自分の車預けて安心出来そう😊❤
怪我や病気に気を付けて、ずっと素晴らしい仕事をして欲しいね😊❤
Very nice…I have been a auto body tech for 42 years…..and you are doing an amazing job….I can’t wait to see the final outcome. NOTE, check out Linear Blocks for sanding….I’m using them on my 60 Bug….game changer super straight and fast.
Great episode. Safari Windows look perfect, and tow hitch is perfect touch
The attention to detail on this build is insane! Amelia Island?
The bus is looking good. It will be amazing when finished
Watching from Sweden!
And loving it!!!👍👍👍
Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Keep them coming Mic only keep them coming faster.
You’re getting closer…looks great…one day at a time…steady as she goes…be safe,,,
Yeayyy a new episode of kona..... Watching from 🇲🇾
That's going so well! Excellent job by everyone! 🙂
How do you fancy building a trailer that looks like an extension of Kona? Bodywork, side doors, and windows that look very similar, but the rear hatch that although resembles Kona, covers the 'engine bay', which is no longer there! Flat floor would give room for a pair of bikes, or a narrow ATV, room for a couple of boards/skis, and perhaps some tools and/or spares, although a spare wheel could also be mounted on the front of Kona 2! 🙂
Yay!!! Another Kona video!!! Love the awesome music selections... and the editing is fantastic too!!!
Thank you!
So nice to see everything coming together. Very glad the episodes are coming out quicker. Glad you had some water time. Cheers!
Take care guys ! At the end Kona is getting better , looking good ❤❤
Hi Lori & Mic, great progress👍🏻, nice fitting of the towbar Safari windows and more👏🏻, it looks like the end of the tunnel soon on the road-great Gyus🤗.be seeing you at the next vid🇺🇸.👍🏻🙏🏻🇳🇱🇳🇴☮🍀Greetings Hubertus
Hope you feel better buddy and can looking better won’t be much longer till will see it in primer getting ready for paint love how Lori gets right in there and helps
Kona is looking GREAT!
Lake Berryessa my back yard! It's full now! ❤
No me pierdo ningun espisodio de la restauracion de la combi
Your getting there! It takes time especially when you after all the little details. Kona will be sooo nice when he's done. I always like the videos
Peace
The reconstruction is really coming along nicely, Mic
Hello Mike, Lori, & Our Fair Lady Kona❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰!! I’m filled with excitement seeing Kona’s transformation coming along nicely!! You all are amazing, taking such care to bring Her back to a better life. Mike, @ 38 minutes into the video, it looks like someone (I’m NOT talking about Lori & the Garage Gang) literally & figuratively “threw you under the bus” (😜😜😜😂😂😂😝😝😝), so to speak😁😁😁.
Great video until the end, when I saw our dearly departed Goonie. R. I. P. Gunther.
Hello, MicBergma, greetings!. My name is Adiel Nunes Ferreira. I'm from the city of São Caetano do Sul, state of São Paulo and I'm a fanatic fan of your UA-cam channel. I've been following the restoration of your Kona bus since you rescued it abandoned. I look forward to each chapter anxiously and can't wait to see it finished. Probably, at the present time, it should already be restored. Thank you for sharing these videos and I wish you much success with your new toy. I'm also deaf with 80% losses, but I'm oral and I use hearing aids. Sorry for my bad english. Hugs and success!.
Saludos!. Excelente trabajo que Robert, Claudio y ustedes han realizado para llevar a Kona a la perfección. Gracias por tus videos de los cuales eh aprendido mucho y me ayudarán a mejorar mi Van Volky la cual llamo "La Verdurera ".
Love this build from the start, I hope it will have a EV Swap
Very nice build
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 🤙😊
Many thanks….was waiting eagerly!
Better late than never! Thanks a million for the new video!
Sweet !!
Good one. Keep showing good things!!
New Episode! Yeah!
I don't know how you are finding a way to post videos and watch the Golden Knights at the same time. Good luck to your team - Canucks fan.
Great video every video getting to the main date getting Kona Painted can't wait thanks so much for the alwsome video's.
FELICIDADEEEZZZZ YA MEROOOOO❤👍👍👍
Muy buen trabajo saludos desde Morelia Michoacán mexico
y'all are doing one helluva job and it's fun to watch the progression. really curious to see what engine you drop in that thing. had a friend in the `70's that dropped a Porshe engine in one an it was a beast. first time he took me for a ride and went from 2nd to 3rd doing 70 remember looking over at him and sayin ya gotta be shittin me.
WOO-HOO another video!
I'm glad they are coming more often!
I watched the interview with Robert on the, I think KOMBE, channel. It was great!
Claudio is meticulous, I would love to have him to work on my project when I have anything!
he is worth his weight in gold for sure
Mic, on the new exhaust since it's chrome you might wanna handle it with gloves or wipe thoroughly because the heat and body oil will discolor those spots (if I recall correctly on chrome). Very nice 👍
Wow, I was just thinking about Silverio and wondered how is has been. Then, less than 15 seconds later he shows up in this video!!
Claudio is master at his trade but he doesn't display any emotions 😅
Perfect 👍
Saludos de Mexico Mic
Beyond a doubt this is the most bondo I have ever seen put on a vehicle. Ever.
excelente avance.
Just curious, why would you put windows on before paint?
Keren pisan euy
Top das galáxias...😮
Your editing improved
Claudio is the best.
amazing
Wondering how much this job will cost?
I can tell from the video that Robert has his steel-toed safety flip-flops on
42:08/ 43:28 question on that splash guard. Should you drill some holes in the metal, so it can drain properly due to water setting on the splash guard. Water could cause the Metal tray can rust in the long run if splash guard is not cleaned properly.
Colocar vídeo top é bonito. Quando dia falta pintar 👍🏽👀🤙🏽🚐😁
👍1,5 mil👏

The bus is starting to be on the road to beening done
Mich ... locking washers go under the nuts ... flat washers go under the bolt heads ... just saying ... where do I look to see the final finished kona ??? All the best from the U.K.
Getting closer. Is this gonna be a concourse car or what?! Maybe it’s going faster in person. Jaaa. Anyways good luck.
We need a bumper hitch to tow our motorcycle trailer, I was going to build my own but its got a single quiet pack exhaust, just where the hitch needs to be.
Are you worried that it's going to be too perfect to drive or use every day when it's finished?
Is the date stamp correct on the video? Sept. 2021
Yes✌️
I had several vans and the one thing they had in common was underpowered engines. Pulling a trailer your top speed will be about 55 maybe good luck with that
Hi.. how many thickness aluminium for your car body panel?
Surely this bus was finished at least a couple of years ago.
He's very serious
How many miles of yellow tape have you used up? 🙂
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
boa noite, ó kombi pra levar massa acrilica May god
It great,but funny!! These old VW buses weres NEVER EVER coach built to perfection like you see here!! Nice though!
If you want to prank Alex, fill his gloves with glitters. That stuff goes everywhere
hahaha that's a good one!
👍👍👍👍
Long time to work
This is is longest resto ever I'd hate to be paying those guys
I hope that they take AAA insurance work. With the quality of work that they do, I would not go anywhere else to take my VW 1988 Westfalia. Excellent care for detail and lots of patience. I hope it is not just because they are being filmed.
I hope Mustie1 makes the motor for them
👍👍👍

What kind of body filler does he use?
