  • So it's been forever since I've worked on my bus, but I finally had a little time so I decided to attempt removing my rear brake drums.
    I've also created a playlist for this series and re-titled all the episodes so you can follow along easier now. Hopefully I'll be working on my bus again soon. Whenever I do, you can be sure I will film it.

    Left front on my ‘70 bus is stuck. Thanks for taking the time to post. I was losing confidence...

    I was clapping for you, bravo. Keep on your journey of learning my friend. A Kombi Restoration will teach you a lot about yourself.

    Just came across your video, I feel your pain. I've been working on my 65 beetle and she's been fighting me every step of the way.

      Still have it! Just haven’t had time to work on it. But I’m moving back to my parent’s house with my wife for a year so I’ll have time again starting this summer! :)

      Ah, I know... I had to get rid of the studio space so I moved the bus to my driveway. I've been itching to work on it lately, but haven't had much time. I did recently have a friend come over to look at it and help me figure out what to work on next, but even he was overwhelmed by all the rust, heh. Been watching MicBergsma's Bus series and feeling more confident, though!

      Dont even bother mate, a straight up fuck you, to you mr. dickhead. Someone who I look up used to say "They might laugh on your way to success, but once you make it, they are gonna be butt hurt, wishing you had quit when they said so".
      This chap seems to have little to no experience on cars, but he has nice guidance from a mechanic, and so, his welding skills are not that bad. He has motivation, dedication, and that's something that your mean comments wont be able to touch or take down.
      What he's doing is not cringe, it is indeed inspiring. Not all of us are risk takers, he certainly is.
      Once this VW bus is ready, then we shall speak. Even if it takes years, it doesn't matter. He will succeed
