Dismantling My Rusty VW Bus To Its Frame (Inner Wheel Well Restoration)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- I went digging for rust and never really came back from what is the most complex lego set ever, not really ready for how difficult car restoration is.
Still piecing together the front end. The inner wheel well is a thicker gauge support that extends from the bottom of the frame to the top of the seat bench. I extended the bottom leg much more than the factory part just to help support the frame better.
I didn't narrate this video, just the satisfying somewhat jarring sounds of restoration.
Phenomenal job Brandon! I spent my life as a musician. I should have restored old buses! I’m a disabled old man now but I would love one of your restorations to get me and my wheelchair around
Having an Eckold to be able to do these bends in the sheetmetal is an absolute must. Fantastic job in showing how to get an old bus back up to life. Keep it up, we will be watching. Greetings from 🇳🇱
I admire the way you take extra care to achieve the best results possible rather than settling for "that's good enough". Many thanks and good wishes.
😊😊
I'm watching you! Seriously, I appreciate the extent you're taking this restoration. The end result should last decades, and will be something your kids and their kids will admire.
Good morning. A cool bit of fabrication on that chassis rail and panel 👍🏻 I think it’s absolutely amazing how many of you Americans restore old European vehicles 😂 🏴
Awesome creativity when making those parts. I would have never thought to use wood to chip out that mold . It looked factory fresh. Keep up the outstanding work
That'a a whole lot of work mate! Good on you!
Looks like a main frame restoration not the inner wheel well (tub) I was expecting. Still a great job!
Out with the rust and rot, in with the new metal. I see a solid bus coming soon... Thumbs Up!
Good work! Lots of back and forth. Was in a similar situation yesterday with a ‘63 Chevy II gasser repair. The repair is simple. Prep is all day.
I've now binged all your videos... excellent work so far! You may be building an entirely different vehicle, but rust repair is rust repair! Lol! With the attention to detail you're demonstrating, this will be one fine VW van! New sub! Keep up the good work!!! 🖖🏿😎👍🏿
Thanks for following along! This bus is a Butchers Broom or Ship of Theseus kinda scenario.
Impressive work! Thorough throughout, no shortcuts whatsoever!
Great work you are a metal work expert.
Great progress man, Good to see you got in the front frame section Never though it would be that rusty in there wheew!
Брэндон, ты крут))) Интересный проект - сил тебе и терпения!
Fantastic job! Pleasure to watch. All the best.
Крутая работа, мужик!
Сразу видно профессиональный подход!
Hi Brandon, Impressive metalwork invention of how to make metal parts from scratch using woodblock is very intensive but with a great outcome🛠. great also to have a shrinke👍🏻r. Love your work👍🏻🙏🏻.🇳🇴🇳🇱☮Greetings,Hubertus
Fantastic effort. You are clearly very determined and have the right skill to accomplished your goals. Respect. ❤
I admire your ability to probably turn a rotten wreck into a beautiful car ❣️ I'm really curious about the end result ❣️🌹!
Mahalo brother fo da video!!!! Can't wait when mine is done too !!!! Aloha ke Akua
Salam boh . Baru buleh layan vdeo . Bzy skit sari dua ni . Terbaik la master idola
You are doing a great job with the rust repair I would pass on the van seeing all the rust it had
I had it shipped from Brazil and didn't know exactly the extent of the rust, but I was up for the challenge.
Great job man 👍🏻
Great job.
Man that was some rusty parts there my man ;)
Muy buen trabajo...... soy tu fan brother !!!!
Awesome as always. Is this your first restoration? I read here before that this is not your trade but you seem to have an eye for it and learned what you didnt know very fast
Really good :)
I like your video, i hope you can earn more subscriber and make more video restoration or reparation with the other car. God bless you brother, respect from Indonesia🇮🇩
The Germans seem to have always had a love affair with sheet metal.
Amazing
This restoration will last a hundred years.
Jeez, it is no wonder these old buses did not survive crashes, they are just tin cans! Of course, the Vanagon could take a pretty hard nose hit with those i-beams underfoot.
Definitely little crash support on the T1's. I'm thinking of adding my own braces for strength.
@@BrandonsBus After two loaf buses I ended my VW past with an '86 Vanagon Transporter Syncro (sold - 2004). Impressive work and documentation, Brandon. Good to see someone taking the work to task. I paid tons and tons to keep mine going as I was 'just the driver.' Why do VW's need so much maintenance?
Amazing channel liked and subbed

Sucesso
I hope your making templates piece by piece. If you need it. Everybody else will.
Why drilling holes on the side when there is a nice hole cutter for it. Quicker and no drilling required.
I have a pneumatic hole punch but it’s a little dull and wouldn’t cut through the 16g
Hey, du bist gut man...
