It would be kinda fun to see a couple of pictures of these cars after they have been restored.

I'm a bit worried about your health seeing you walking around that tank so close with no fume mask on and all this damp evaporating from the tank. Can you tell me what chemicals are in that tank eating away that paint so fast? Great job, really like these movies!! Take care and keep it safe and healthy!

I worked at the factory where these cars are made from 1986 to 2013. Types T3, T4 and T5
T2 was before my time. Great that You are so highly enjoyed in this.

Honestly, that bus is in great condition, considering its age. The dips uncovered all the sins but thankfully, it wasn't too bad. Some replacement panels, a skilled panelbeater and welder will sort that right out. Nice one!

Thanks for all your hard work. We’re going to make her gorgeous!

So much faster and more efficient than weeks of sanding and grinding! That bus is totally naked now! Incredible. I love classic air cooled VW's.

This is my fav video so far. So thorough but not bored to details. Thanks for the awesome entertainment!

I wish my dad was around to see this episode, he had a 74 transporter, he worked on it, but I painted it along with another guy's help, brings back memories, thanks👍

This was a ton of fun to watch. I have a good friend who is the original owner of a 1971 Bus — no kidding — that has everything from its original paint and nearly flawless headliner to a body that doesn’t need dipping. It was a “barn find” in that she had not driven it since 1999 and was in her horse barn all those years when I saw it and offered to renovate it. Can’t be many originals out there like hers.

Tolle Arbeit! Für so ein Alten VW noch ein erstaunlicher guter Zustand. Daraus lässt sich wieder ein Wunderschöner und Rostfreier VW Bus bauen. Als Deutscher liebe ich den VW Bus ♥️😍 Grüße aus Germany

We had a 1963 VW bus when I was a kid. We bought it new in Europe and brought it back to the states.
How fun to see this one.
Thanks!

In the early 1980s I had a mint $2000, 69, 000 1974 mile VW bus.Hauled My 3 babies, a wife, and swap meet business.The perfect family wagon.This build aint gonna be cheap but the owner probly loved the memories like I had.Good luck.

The result is truly spectacular.
Ive done a major restoration in a 1970 Bmw 2002 and actually was told to opt out of this chemical process as it is too aggressive and weakens the metal structure of the car. But I have no data to back that up so... looks amazing though

It was only a decade ago that VW bay buses were not that desired or expensive to purchase. Now, they are very desirable and prices have gotten really high for the clean ones. Glad to see the bays getting some love.

Thank you for this Video.I am a German and I love this Car. VW Bus is great, I own one in 1980.🇩🇪👍🇺🇲

What an iconic bus with an increasing value now that VW has revived the electric version ID buzz.
People here love the car, have a smile on their face and give you a thumbs up if they see such car in the street, the old and the new.

Great work how you got so clean

I used to work at a high end auto body shop. We would have to paint strip and sand blast cars. This is so much nicer than what used to have to do. This is the way to go.

Its like watching the tide go in and out. Mesmerising

I had the pleasure of riding in one of those once! July '84, mom and I on a road trip, broken down on an ill-traveled two-lane road in the middle of Death Valley...

Maybe "pleasure" wasn't the correct word.

Как здорово наблюдать за этим. Люблю все чистые и хорошо переделанные вещи. Всегда хотела сделать дом на колесах. Сейчас смотрю самые разные видео по переделкам машин.
