DONDE COMPRASTE EL MOTOR? Estoy restaurando una en España y me estoy planteando en poner un motor como el tuyo. Moderno, para utilizar la furgo a diario. Muchas gracias
@blazeroranger my son has the loss of his hearing. Therefore, he has a hearing loss. He is 30 years old, and that is what he refers to. So, my comment about being the role model, and this is your takeaway? Have a nice day.
@@blazeroranger WOW You do not represent "us" That man was talking about HIS son and about Mike, not about you. cool down man, smoke some good green cigarette

I will always have a special place in my heart for the VW Bus because my father used to own a VW T2 Camper edition. We used to have great road trips together and even when we weren't traveling, I would often get the keys and stay inside the bus studying, drawing or playing on my own (I am autistic). I remember once or twice my father gave me math lessons inside the bus because the house had 3 cats and 3 dogs who wouldn't let us concentrate. On my 41st birthday I bought a Playmobil T1 model that I exhibit with pride on my office. These videos bring great nostalgia and I hope you can build many good memories to cherish on board of your restored bus :-)
I know you’ve been frustrated with Dom being on his own timeline, but the finish up paint work really shines. He’s done beautiful work and deserves to be recognized for it. Please tell him I said HI 👋🏻 Kona the Bus is coming along Mic! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁♥️
Dom reminds me of my father in the body shop. He always had a vision of all the parts laid out to paint and it was like a symphony. Us 3 boys were professional taper offers. Love what you do and thanks for sharing.♥️👍🏼
I'm so excited to see Kona getting ready. It will look great and for sure with a better performance with the bigger engine. The inside will be amazing with the colours you guys chosen. The result will be excellent because your attention to details as well to all your partners and the help from Robert and team. Cannot wait to see the final product.
Hi Mick and Lori. Bert here from the Netherlands. You were right to change the collor of Kona. The first blue was not popping collor. This second collor hits my laptopsreen like a fish in the ocean. Dom is mabye not always on time, but this man can spray paint. When you look at him when he maskes his work with tape, you see that he loves what he do. And that love for your work, results in beautiful paint work. Also the upgrade for the engine was a good idea. You need enough power to drive comfortable on anythe old engine must make to many power, wich it didn't had. This engine will take you to the end of the universe witenough horsepower, fuel consumption is more regulated by the intake system. It sound funny, but I am so proud of the two of you. I always tell friends about your youtube page and hope they have as much fun as I have when the watch all the episodes. I alway say, You have to see this story from day one. I realy love you guys. I sent you my love, and stay safe. Your love for each other, he love you have for the people that surrounds you, is a example for the rest of the world. Until next time champs. Bert de Vries from the Netherlands.
The new blue looks awesome! The Robins egg blue did not look appropriate....Kudos to you and Lori for pursuing the appropriate colour! Yes, I'm from Canada!
Ok, so I'm colorblind and when you guys were so upset about the original color not being what you had hoped I thought you were overreacting a bit. Now that I see the new color (at least what my eyes see), I wholeheartedly agree that it needed to be done! Even a colorblind man knows when the paint is wrong 🙃
Love the colour combo❤ and start to think about what I’m going to follow when kona is finished😳 will miss all of you! Has been fantastic to follow all of you all this time from episode nr1 until the last episode….when it’s coming!
I love the amount of attention to detail and patience you guys have, I seem to want everything done quick, need to change my ways an enjoy the process of things getting done overtime with quality work, thank you sir
It is incredible how I miss every one of your episode in TH-cam and I get anxious to see the next one and the final result of your dream coming true. God bless bless you both and thank you. ❤
This build just gets better! That colour is bang on perfect now 🥰 i was shocked when i saw you were going to fit a stock 1600, but so pleased that you saw the light. Hurry up with the next video please!!! 🙏
Mitch. I so hope you`re going to do a Doku in maybe 4 episodes 1 and a half hour each. When this is done. I bet you big guy, it will be watched Millions of time. I know I would. More than once. Thank you and Lori so far. Love it.
Hi Mic, I love this channel and have been learning a ton watching along your restoration. I picked up my dream 67 walkthrough this week and will now begin my own restoration journey. If you are ever passing through SF and need help with anything let me know. Best of luck - your bus is getting so close to the finish line!!! Best.
First time to your channel! Having owned both a 66 and 68 (a long long time ago), I was quite impressed with your attention to detail. If Volkswagen had ever made a “Bel Air” model, I’m sure it would have looked like yours.
@20:43 MUCH better choice of engine! That bus is going to be so beautiful I'd be scared to death to get it out in traffic! Especially here in Atlanta! I DO recommend getting a dashcam or three for Kona! 😁
Those engines get taken apart a lot. Threadlock would be a PITA. The best thing is to put it together the way the Bentley manual says. Source: ME. I've done a few air-cooled flat fours.
you are wonderfull, even with your handicap, even i am handicap, my back is broken, and my left ear is practical deaf, but do not worry, do you pleasure , its that what couts friend, i set up a citroen c2, good luck from belgium
Glad you satisfied with the color. What an emotional rollercoaster! And that engine is huge! Should you have fabbed longer gas tank straps? Excellent recap on the timeline.
Pah ! hop hop so high ! You are happy so much ! Looking forward the next episode ! Hope you can show two pictures first paint (the wrong color) and the last paint ( the right color) you wanted. We the viewers would like to see compared. Up to you if you can show us the pictures. I am very happy for both of you. You did a good job. 👍 worth it to paint the right one...excalty color you always wanted. I ignore Dallas Cowboys on the MNF. I rather watch your show ! 😊 😁 😀 😃
Well Done on the Hatch i agree with you not wanting to do the Hump” idea that would make that area a useless one for storage or at the very least a difficult one to use
Mitch I been following your video from day 1 (episode 1) and I am very excited on the daily progress of your project, you have a very good and accommodating support team, kudos to Robert and his people for doing a great job on the body restoration, the paint job is awsome, I cant wait to see this project done and running. Say Hi to Lori, from Muntinglupa City, Philippines.
Sometime I offer to U help about peaces, because in Brazil we fave a lot off from our adorable "Kombi" (my father have one all green). So I'm so happy for the Brazilian motor takes part of your Dream Mich.
The color looks amazing that what it supposed look like ! Don't cut corners when you have gone this far remove the felt adhesive under the gas tank use some stuff called goop off it smells like citrus ! Takes as long to do it right as it does to do it shady !
Nice to see you went with a bigger engine! Will get you into and up the steep terrain. Plus no more carburetor! Curious if you ever considered the Subaru engine swap kit? Sand, paint, buff. Rinse. Repeat. Living la vita loca! 😂 The new blue has a lot more color depth. Looks much improved! Woohoo!
Wow! you did a great to do wires and engine around bus... Paint look so awesome! I alway want VW Bus.. cant afford.. Enjoy watching your videos.. Foward to see everything done and driving soon..
- I think I saw that the engine is equipped with the "dog house" system. Introduced in the 1971 model, the “doghouse” fan shroud provides a more efficient system of cooling the VW engine. The new design re-located the oil cooler. The oil cooler was found previously within the shroud, over the number 3 cylinder, which compromised the cooling of this cylinder / cylinder head assembly and led to its overheating and premature deterioration. - The painting is superb !

As a father of a son with hearing loss, I admire you creating this TH-cam content. You are a great role model!
Please don’t call us hearing loss or hearing impaired….
Hard of hearing OR Deaf…..

Didn't think there was much difference in the blues until it was resprayed, now it pops, good choice.
I thought the same. Much deeper blue. The other blue was too light
Fantastic to see how well it’s coming on. Putting the engine in is a real milestone. Well done Mitch. Good to finally see Dom doing his job.
After all you definitively were right about the blue colour 🙂. The new blue is so much better and looks really fresh without the whitewash shade ❤
I know you’ve been frustrated with Dom being on his own timeline, but the finish up paint work really shines. He’s done beautiful work and deserves to be recognized for it. Please tell him I said HI 👋🏻 Kona the Bus is coming along Mic! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁♥️

When I was a kid in 1969 my parents bought a bus that was colored blue just like your final color
I thought you guys were nuts for not liking the first color.... you guys were right. New color is perfect and much better! Love the videos!
My thought exactly. The new color does make a different. Im glad they decided to get it repainted and loving it! Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks so much! Trust the process we are going through :)

Hello i waiting for you i can't waiting VW Bus Restoration - Episode 69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new blue looks awesome! The Robins egg blue did not look appropriate....Kudos to you and Lori for pursuing the appropriate colour! Yes, I'm from Canada!
I’m so happy, finally got the color you two have wanted!❤
8:51 Glad the bent wrench is helping out lol!😄 That 1776 cc is awesome! The EFI will also get you way better milage than carbs.
This guy knows what he’s doing , very knowledgeable when it comes to VW no short cuts
The color is dead on perfect. Well worth the frustration to see it correct. Great job!
Enjoying your journey - the colour change was spot-on!

awe.. we will have more Kona videos after she is finished. dont worry!
I love the amount of attention to detail and patience you guys have, I seem to want everything done quick, need to change my ways an enjoy the process of things getting done overtime with quality work, thank you sir
You were so right to go with the darker blue!! They should call it MicBergsma Blue!! Awesome motor!!!
Haha love it!
Your attention to detail is simply amazing. I've been following you since the start of this build. This is going to be some machine. ❤
It is incredible how I miss every one of your episode in TH-cam and I get anxious to see the next one and the final result of your dream coming true. God bless bless you both and thank you. ❤
This build just gets better! That colour is bang on perfect now 🥰 i was shocked when i saw you were going to fit a stock 1600, but so pleased that you saw the light. Hurry up with the next video please!!! 🙏
I can't even imagine how many TB of footage you have for this series! It's been fun keeping up with your updates.
I can't even begin to tell you on the footage.. haha
wow , The Monster Engine plus with a correct color = The Best Bus of the World
Finally! I'm so glad that you persevered and kept with your initial paint colour, guys. Kona looks utstanding.
I miss my 69 bus that had a popup top camper special. had a lot of good times in that thing, many good memories.
Aww bummer wish you still have it! I'm glad you had much good memories with it! 😊
It's a great day when one of your videos comes out!!!! Cheers from Long Island, NY!
insane amount of work has gone into this bus. super excited to see that look of color approval. greetings from east Tennessee
You and me both!
Mitch. I so hope you`re going to do a Doku in maybe 4 episodes 1 and a half hour each. When this is done. I bet you big guy, it will be watched Millions of time. I know I would. More than once. Thank you and Lori so far. Love it.
good thing there are still complete built motors available👍
@@MrTrazz09 yes!! Whew!!
good decision about engine 1776 cc with twin carb. love it!
Dude!! This motor is sick!! I saw years ago a bus with a 1776cc engine pulling the lost awesome trailer… but this? Could pull a house boat! Love it!!
Now you can see the difference in the paint. This build just keeps getting better and better
That's one hell of an engine!!!!
Can't wait to hear it fire up
Hi Mic, I love this channel and have been learning a ton watching along your restoration. I picked up my dream 67 walkthrough this week and will now begin my own restoration journey. If you are ever passing through SF and need help with anything let me know. Best of luck - your bus is getting so close to the finish line!!! Best.
Rock on! And good luck with your resto!
Awesome repair!!!
Keep the VW Van Bus coming!!
First time to your channel! Having owned both a 66 and 68 (a long long time ago), I was quite impressed with your attention to detail. If Volkswagen had ever made a “Bel Air” model, I’m sure it would have looked like yours.
Very well done. You gave that old pile of metal a lot of love and revived it... 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
New blue = AWESOME!
That engine is sick!!! Cant wait to hear it fire up with those pipes!! Super job guys 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 👍
Hi and Congrats...I am waiting for videos to finalisation of Van...you are special restorer .... hugs
It's looking even better and better. Seeing it with the motor in it and now painted the way y'all wanted is so satisfying. Love the progress!
We agree!
This is the best color combo ever! I can’t wait to see it done but I’ll be sad that it’s over.
@20:43 MUCH better choice of engine! That bus is going to be so beautiful I'd be scared to death to get it out in traffic! Especially here in Atlanta! I DO recommend getting a dashcam or three for Kona! 😁
Personally ,I would have applied a smear of thread lock on all the engine fixings ( just in case ) ?👍👍
Those engines get taken apart a lot. Threadlock would be a PITA. The best thing is to put it together the way the Bentley manual says. Source: ME. I've done a few air-cooled flat fours.
You are an artist who plays sophistication
you are wonderfull, even with your handicap, even i am handicap, my back is broken, and my left ear is practical deaf, but do not worry, do you pleasure , its that what couts friend, i set up a citroen c2, good luck from belgium
You look really happy Mitch!!
Glad you satisfied with the color. What an emotional rollercoaster! And that engine is huge! Should you have fabbed longer gas tank straps? Excellent recap on the timeline.
Yeah so happy with the color now! Glad you liked the recap
Salut saya dengan usaha anda mulai dari awal sampai saat ini kondisinya sangat bagus...
Semoga sukses selalu, pak...
🙏
What an achievement! It is all such a perfect restoration. The icing on the cake? The engine! The Beast!
Such an amazing job....
Glad you enjoyed it!
A person living in Korea always supports your video
Absolutely gorgeous. This is not a mechanic but an artist!!!!!
Absolutely Excellent choice modified to EFI, crank trigger and modern ignition. Well done !
Couldn't agree more!

So nice to see it come together - looks SICK!
The color looks amazing that what it supposed look like ! Don't cut corners when you have gone this far remove the felt adhesive under the gas tank use some stuff called goop off it smells like citrus ! Takes as long to do it right as it does to do it shady !
The epic task that is currently filming in Hawaii is just finished, but let's hope for an epic ending, greetings from Mexico
I can wait anylonger Mic for Episode 69 please😇
super travail que vous avez fait félicitations a tous
Merci!
Nice to see you went with a bigger engine! Will get you into and up the steep terrain. Plus no more carburetor! Curious if you ever considered the Subaru engine swap kit?
Sand, paint, buff. Rinse. Repeat. Living la vita loca! 😂
The new blue has a lot more color depth. Looks much improved! Woohoo!

Epic! Much Better paint and high five Mitch! 🤠🤚
Hello from Wisconsin the bus is looking great. Both of you keep up the good work. 👍
1.5 qt. oil sump may be a wise investment. Otherwise, nice job! Looks legit 👍
Wow ..insane looking bus reminds of the Florida keys just looking at it ..looking fabulous Mic 👌👍
