[fredbuhl]

ENGINE! LIGHTS! OIL SPILLS! Can't wait for the next ep. 😀

[DrSmith]

The countryside there looks beautiful. 😍. I thought you were crying when the engine idled but it was the smoke. 😄

[andygraham]

Your dad's place is beautiful. What a showplace.

[JeffreyHavenga]

Sorry to see all your oil hose issues, but it was nice to see Kona start and run. I look forward to seeing Kona cruising the roads in Hawaii 😊

[GeorgeWalker-hgyt]

What a beautiful place, 💕 just luvd all the drone shots, everything so healthy and lush, sad for you after all that work oil leaks, that's how we learn, sooo 😊 good to see you doing your final things on the list, have fun 😁 God bless 🙏

[johnnycoleman]

Good morning from Colorado....WOW! A lot of popped up incident and now you got everything fixed up before it happens at Hawaii!!!! Whew!! Blessing to have your family's garage! Now peace of mind and cross your fingers. I can't wait for the next episode.

[charleshart]

Great update – glad that you got the problems sorted and great to see the engine running! Love the Cub!

[القناص-دع]

🤩Great job.. I really enjoyed it. Especially with the plane scenes 👌🌺🌺🌺

[bryancooper]

Well it’s alive. Great job. I wasn’t expecting that minor set back. But, all
Lines have been corrected and new ignition installed and it starts and runs. Bring on 79 possibly a test drive. Way to go.

[internautaUY]

Next time... restoring this beautifull Wilton vise =) =)

[siddembowski]

I sure hope you get a enjoyable experience from driving this Van equal to the work you put in it. I had the Vans and bugs back in the 60"s miserable slow and cold

[beatrizcedeno]

Hi Mic ya casi finaliza de arrancar tu Kona. Ya te quiero ver viajando. Exitos 🇻🇪😀

[southernpaths]

Hopefully the guy who originally sold you Kona is watching to see what became of his old bus!

[marcoantonioborjagalvan]

Bien, muchos saludos desde Huayllay Pasco -Peru

[SkaterStimm]

I was hoping for the first drive today! Those fittings are notorious for fooling people into thinking the connection is secure.

[pauleggert]

Oil cooler coil is in bad place. A rock from road could make a hole in it !! It should be vertical so air flows through it. 😮 Thoughts ?

[rubenvanmeer]

Hi Mick Mayer a little overfload sump connected to the cooler and the feedpumo of the motor and all connected with fixed lines are good i don, t know the size thicknes of those lines i think that the connectors ( blue and red colored) are to weak, i hope you succeed

[allanransby]

Don't forget to put some antifreeze in the coolant 😷 (Just making fun).
Looks really good now.
