Watching your tear down as you anticipate the put-back, (as I have done myself) I was reminded of the geologists who, as they ponder just how the Grand Canyon was formed, realize that they have no idea where to start or what order to take. Good luck and I enjoyed the memories you stirred.
That actually came off easier then I thought it would. I figured it would come off in chunks. lol. Good news is you can use the Fiberglass as a roof over a Patio. The small holes are from the wood slats
@@ob1vw actually I think those small holes are from the fiberglass being riveted down. I found rivets all of the fiberglass after I folded it up to junk 😂
You think your single cab is rusty, you should see what demop garage have do deal with. They are also following the nova Scotia barndoor restoration. With all his measurements for accuracy
It certainly wasn’t when I started 😂 I’m not really sure what to call what I want to do. I want to make it solid and straight, but I’m not going to paint it nice. It’ll be rattle canned Turkis and hand painted where necessary. I want to add some simple updates to make it driveable year round.
In england we have a festival called rustival lol . Lots of work to do , wow do you have Aby plans to feature the minis on the channel ?. Is this the practice vehicle before you begin on Jason's 15 window bus ? ,😆
Thankfully no 😂 I’ve worked on Minis before and I /hate/ them. I share the space with a buddy of mine who works on Minis and other British things. The red one is a true Cooper S with 40k on the odometer. Extremely clean car and it’s for sale!
@@williambroer64 i found later that the fiberglass sheet was actually pop riveted in place; I think this is what the holes were for. They were too inconsistent to be factory VW, inconsistent enough however to be Alabama methhead mechanic though 😂
The tank divider piece for the floor that WW makes is incorrect. KF had the correct one but they are phasing out so no telling if they still have it. If so you can get it without buying all the other pieces.
@@wickedwerks The ribbed piece that goes on the floor that's a stop for the partition panels. What WW sells only as a 6 piece set KF sells (or sold) it separate from the other pieces. That's where I got mine.
@@atomicmellon1712 without a doubt 😂 like I said, I don’t even want it perfect. I just want to be able to treat it like a truck and drive it in the winter without worrying about it 😂
Hi Taylor, thanks for sharing this video. Yeah, Gloria needs a lot of love - and metal... 😎

Great progress! Yep, there is sure a lot of work but that's what makes all the videos so fun!
I’ve got a 1960 single cab with very similar rust. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle it. Good luck!

Thanks! I always enjoy your videos.
Rust never sleeps
Awesome video 📹 👏 👌 👍 🙌
I'm going through all of this now on my 69 Bay window deluxe bus.......It never ends.
I feel for you mate…. Cars rust bad here in the UK, and I feel your pain as the discovery of rot and rust keeps going and going…. F-ing painful!!!!!
Mike Fn Garage did videos on many of the repairs you need to make. Might help
I mean the licence plate looks solid. Gas tank looks nice.
@@demRucks tank and plates are new! 😂
Buy a VW, it’s fun they said 😂
It needs work as you see but it’s very solid overall.
You’ll have it done by 2030, you got this.
2030?! You have more faith in me than I do 😂
Thanks for sharing. Is the plan a full restoration?

@@wickedwerksmaybe a rustification
I’m honored to say I drove this Swiss cheese. 🤣
Thanks for the entertainment.😂😂😂😂

@wickedwerks wow a cooper s, nice , 40k it needs to come back to the UK.
I'm a 90s vw man for now , one day I might get something air cooled.
👍🏽keep on single cab truckin! Nice to see. PS do you still have the bus? Haven’t seen it in a while.
@@BrendanONeil-b2x yes, it’s in storage
Nice you’ve assembled quite a nice collection.
Time to start a Patreon 😂 You could offer dinner dates to top subscribers
Those drilled hole were to mount the wood slats. I've seen worse beds but yeah just replace the two pieces.

@@atomicmellon1712 do you mean the six piece kit that WW sells or the actually partition panels?
@@wickedwerks The ribbed piece that goes on the floor that's a stop for the partition panels. What WW sells only as a 6 piece set KF sells (or sold) it separate from the other pieces. That's where I got mine.
@wickedwerks I just looked and they are NLA from KF. Sorry for the false hope.
@@atomicmellon1712 that’s alright, I’m not try to make it perfect just less crispy 😂
Good to see you sir. Cheer up buddy. You have a beautiful girlfriend and you get to play with VWs. Who needs money. lol
hi, i love your channel. would you consider mailing me a small piece of body metal youve cut off of Gloria?
It might be a shit show...But I'm happy to be a chunk of the pile. 💩🤣😂 🥰 Wicked Werks new shop motto...
Once you start cutting a split bus apart you quickly realize why so many folks choose to drive rusty, holey, ratty buses lol
