    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.

    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

    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 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    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!!! 🖖🏿😎👍🏿

    Looks like a main frame restoration not the inner wheel well (tub) I was expecting. Still a great job!

    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.

    • @BrandonsBus

      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?

    Why drilling holes on the side when there is a nice hole cutter for it. Quicker and no drilling required.

    • @BrandonsBus
      @BrandonsBus  Рік тому

      I have a pneumatic hole punch but it’s a little dull and wouldn’t cut through the 16g
