    Just a question about the access hole to the top of the fuel tank, if that is plastic and heaven forbid if there is ever a fire (behind the 'fire wall') that plastic cap is not ideal. If you can find a metal solution down the raod that would be a better idea. Search stainless "Inspection Port" or "Deck Plate" and you will see exactly what you need, they are used in marine applications.

    Hey you three! Brand new Patron here, I'm so excited to finally be able to contribute a tiny part to the Kombi project. And as soon as I can book some videography clients I'd love to support even more. Thank you Ben and Leah for your dedication to not only your journey but to this content that keeps getting better with every creation. You've been a huge inspiration for my own series and this particular episode felt like it was over in the snap of a finger. So incredibly engaging.
    If you'd ever like some help working on the Kombi, or filming and editing, I'd be thrilled for a stint of that wherever in the world you are. There's so much I'd love to learn from you (I could always use more experience working with engines too hahah).
    Wishing you all the love, peace, and joy in the world.

    @russmontgomery5211 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    So A couple things I want to point out. 1 body filler is not made to plug holes It's for filling wrinkles/dents ect... the holes need to be plated and or fill welded. 2: the sound mat at 30% coverage will keep the panels from resonating but will not keep engine and road noise out. for sound proofing you need to completely cover the panels.

    Good luck!!! I owned a couple VW’s in the 60’s and 70’s and I never had vehicles that I got so tired driving than the VW. Some times I thought I could jump out and push to get it to go faster. It maybe nostalgic to have a VW but I really hope you two know how to work on the engine because they really don’t go very far on an engine. I got only 80,000 miles in my bug and only 50,000 miles in my bus. That kind of reliability was well know back in the 70’s too and the vehicles have a bad issue of dropping valves into the heads without warning leaving a person stranded in the middle of know where, sorry but it is the truth about the old VW.

    love the blue, I really like the original 2-tone concept on the original, maybe you will do the same with the new color.

    Such a cool episode. That's a nice type IV engine you guys have there. In my opinion I'd get that thing working and you'll be considerably happier in the long run. It's a bit more reliable than what you had in kapito and you'll find that you're oil temps, power band, fuel consumption, etc are more consistent and reliable. I'm in the process of rebuilding my 69' 912. Similar engine with a number of differences, but when you get those things running, they never want to stop. Good luck on your travels and if you ever need a work space or some tools by NYC, let me know.

    A recaution for everybody. If you got a old ride, make sure the brake shop or check the fuel line with a hand light. Midas over price me I when to another shop .and Midas miss a rusted area of my back brake line underneath and behind the drum , water drip down right. Was really bad and in the next 4-5 yr would have left me with the petal to the floor when I needed to stop hard. Old ride will rust and need a close spot light good check .

    Hey Guys!
    I just signed up and joined the crew on the $25 dollar tier.
    I tried looking for a way to send you a DM but didn't see one. So I'll do it here.
    First of all thank you so much for all the hard work you both put into this content. I absolutely love it. I can't tell you how many times I've watched your videos and been completely inspired to do my own (smaller) adventures. I cannot thank you enough for everything you do for us. I know my membership includes you sending me stuff but I know you guys get crazy busy. Don't worry about that part for me. I'm happy to just contribute.
    Second,
    I live in Vegas. If you find yourself around here you have a free place to stay. I'm also a former mechanic and would be glad to help you with your Bus if you should need it. There are lots of amazing places to see in this area if you should feel so inclined.
    My profession now is Fire Protection. I would very much like to give you a couple of Fire extinguishers for the Kombi as a way to further support you both. I have regular dry chemical but I was thinking I could also do Halotron. This extinguisher leaves zero residue if you should need it. Lemme know where I can ship and they are yours.
    Thanks again for your content. I can't wait for the next video update.

    I'm remodeling a house. Electric, plumbing, roof, kitchen, walls, garage, everything is 50 years old, floor was rotten and sagging 6 inches in one spot. One board, one wire, one pipe at a time. Have fun. I'm getting rid of the house when done though.

    There has been so much shit you guys went through, jeez. It is fascinating! Thank you so much for producing this content, your adventures are better that any netflix series.
    Hope one day I will also be able to just leave everything behind and go meet the real challenge outside the comfort zone. Keep it up!!

      @VWLifeVW 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      the hole he's referring to is for the sink & propane heater that would have originally been on the bus and they aren't using any more. There are no drain holes on the floor of a vw bus.
