    Be sure to film Larry's reaction when you pull up to his garage, and you ask him to help you with the patch panels. Congratulations! You did it.

    Dude, you got a beautiful day, it's 98% on the trailer, you still have all your fingers, no gaping wounds (okay, the bus has them), and you have a cold beverage to enjoy and celebrate the victory. That's what I call a very good day.

    I hope you grabbed what appeared to be a back seat for a bus that was at the barn. It looked like it had the brackets and bar that you commented on. I believe there were other vw seats scattered around. I might have looked at the engine case and thrown that in. Congratulations on not giving up on an unbelievable tough rescue.

    Aw, kinda sad that "the little tree that could" growing out of the roof, did not make it all the way down from the mountains. Since about 50% of that bus dissolved in the stream over 60 years, I'm wondering if it can really be restored so it will be able to move without the help of a winch? Nice job Jay, and keep that tetanus shot up to date! -Burt in NJ

    Struggle on Jason. You did well getting it onto the trailer. What a mamoth effort but you did it and its home. Im rebuilding a type 200 basis transporter that i came across15 years ago. As far as i know its the only one in New Zealand where I am. If you dont know its the predecessor to the Mexican Hormiga . It was sent to NZ from Germany for a sales evaluation to see if they could be sold in here. Kombis were selling well and this truck is the"3rd world povety pack". Basicly made from what they had kicking around the factory and some left over steel packing cases. There's one in the Wolfsberg Museum. You cant miss it as its super beetle orange. The same colour as your kombi. Its so basic it doesn't have a fuel gauge. It doesn't need one because you know when its out of gas because it stops. LOL

  • @stephenricketts7764
    @stephenricketts7764 2 години тому

    One thing is certain you will need new floors! If the bus has been sat as long as you think then I think the mileage is correct Jason. Look even if you 'lost your shirt' on this rescue you have to admit it has been fun for the most part. Is that a new trailer I see or did you borrow it? If you bought it then it looks more robust than the old one and I would fix the winch over the trailer hitch on a sturdy frame, that way the winch is not obstructing anything. A great series Jason thank you for taking us along for the ride (in your Mall Crawler!) 😃👍👍
