I was afraid the VW would look like a watermelon with red seats and thought the leather color is what I would want in a real one. Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
I like that you stuck close to the original colour on the exterior but I love the choice of tan (or Taupe) for tjhe seats. the seat colour really compliments the look. Pastel-ish, subtle...great choice.
I wouldn’t touch the lights or handles. Every time I see it done….no matter how carefully…..it always looks messy and painted on. The original didn’t have it, so leave it original.
The three most classical where the two tone: White for the upper part from the roof to the logo and Red, Orange or Turquoise for the lower part and the side, so your was a good choice. Personally I'm going the White/Red for my Revell Kit, anyway great restore I loved it from the start to the end, my best compliments this and Herbie are my absolute favs. ^_^
Thanks for the kind words. I like the VW's as well and hope to find some more interesting ones to restore down the road. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is greatly appreciated.
As for the lower body color, having lived through the 1970's-and living where hippies fled to (New Mexico) I remember orange and sort of a reddish/orange. I also remember pure white.
First video I’ve seen. Very impressed with your restoration quality. Not half assed like others on here. Good array of equipment too. Thought you would have more subs. You’ve got a new subscriber. 👌
@@jjryan1352 When I received the truck I realized the back of the frame where it holds the rear axle had broken and was way oversized now. The bushings had also broken off the wheels as you can see in the video. The front wheels and frame were in tact and the bushings were able to still do their job. I opted to not put the rear ones back on since they were broken off the wheels and would not have worked even if I had used them. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching and good catch. I had already forgotten about it. There is probably a more elegant solution, but at the time I could not come up with one.
LIKE IT, but 2 things-when seats R down, the backs should B white 2 match interior. 2nd- the side door tops should also B white 2 match the outside. Then its the B E S T on the internet!!!!
I don't understand why you would use sand paper, even that fine, on the windows because no matter what you do the marks from it are going to stay there.
When the windshield is in bad shape, the only way to improve it that I know of is to sand it down and buff it back. I haven't seen any replacements windshields for this vehicle anywhere and I thought the final result was quite an improvement from where it started.
A very beautiful restoration. The color choice is beautiful.
Vinyl dye works really well on certain plastics. It sinks in and doesn’t obscure the details. Nice job as always.
Thanks for the info. I will have to check vinyl dyes out and see how I might to be able to use them. Thanks again for watching.
Great beige leather colour for the seats. Much better than the previous red

Thanks for the positive feedback!
When you asked the color choice, I thought sky blue, so you made a great decision!
Thats a nice restoration you've done there, better colour scheme than the new one.
Great job! Really liked that you changed the seat color...
The seats and nugget color were spot on! I would UT some Amber Orange on those two light spots and silver on the handles!
13:40 which color? For me green. Green "Marina Militare" with italian flag and anchor. 😁😁😁

Very nice restoration. The new bus turns out wonderful. The new interieur looks beautiful.
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Very nicely done. You should be very proud of yourself.

Very beautiful restoration buddy, as always like
👍
Thank you very much!
Aí sim lombo corujinha...
Super cool bus well done.
Thank you very much!
White over a darker shade of blue, we’re as I remember the standard colors for that model VW van. Although you choice of the lighter blue looks great.
Maybe red. But the turquoise looks really nice.
You chose the perfect colors. Great job!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Fantastic restoration I love that color!! Honestly I liked it both ways beat up and clean haha
I have one of those with all of the accessories in perfect condition.
Awesome !
Amazing
Beautiful job!
Thank you so much 😀
Felicitaciones por el buen trabajo 🇵🇪
Excelente. Parabéns. Muito cuidadoso com os detalhes.
Groovy Job.

I would've chosen orange and cream colour scheme!

Thanks for the kind words and the sub!
@@SilverHawkRestorations 😉
Fantastic restoration job on this great Buddy L. Liked, and subbed. :)
Color i choose black and red in the outside. The color for interior is okay but with the seat down floor and back seat same colors.
Muito bom! Ótimo trabalho.
Love love lovvvve it!
I thought sky blue also but it looks nice
A nice fire engine red
Who also came here because of that 70s show that's same car that kelso was driving 😆 🤣 😂
Other than the rust looking like it was applied yesterday with some steel wool and water, good video.
You are really a master. I don't understand why you have so few followers. there are really worse ones like you that have thousands of followers.
Thanks for the kind words.

Classic colors. Where'd the bushings go?
What bushings are you referring to?
@@SilverHawkRestorations the little black rubber bits on the axles to keep the wheels from rattling.

Never saw one with a VW emblem on it, usually have a round sticker with a B in it on the nose of the Bus
I was surprised it was a metal emblem considering all the plastic on the bus. I think it was a nice touch. Thanks for watching.

i rather keep the red paint on the seats
Imagine converting it into bluetooth remote control..
If this was a real vehicle, some may choose to clearcoat the bus for a "patina" paint job. I prefer new paint myself.

Ik vind deze vidio niet goed omdat hij niet goed is afgewerkt . had busjes moeten steken in de achterassen .
