Nice project! Silly Cop! Booked you for speeding but not for what he should have booked you. Loading a trailer behind the axle only is lethal! Good luck on the restoration!
Nice to see old classic cars being saved from rotting away.The last scene on the trailer going home to be brought back to life.Hopefully it is now inside somewhere,out of the elements waiting to be restored
Wonderful, here in south of brazil i make the same thing with brazilian opalas chevrolet we got vw bus and beatles to, and a lot of brazlian VW karman guia, Tl 1600, Brasilia and others brasilian VW, congratulatios, and good luck in your car rescues!!!!
The van is a left hand drive version, but the side barn doors are on the left side, which correct for a right hand drive version? Something to do with Sweden being one of the few places that changed the side of the road they drive on, in the 1960's?
hur går det med renoveringen? är du färdig eller har du mycket eller lite kvar? har du några bilder under o efter bygget för det skulle va jätte roligt o se bilder under bygget o när den är färdig :) mvh Björn
Ha ha, love the use of music...suddenly the light happy mood from the beginning changes when we see the police car, and the music totally changes your mood, ha ha...made me laugh a lot, kudos on that, you should be a musical director for movies, lol...
Just a curiosity....when you find an abandoned vehicle like this, can you just claim it or is there some procedure for doing this and being legal. I ask because I may find myslef in a similar situation and have always wondered how to proceed.
i found a bus near me that i want to buy for a rebuild. its a bit rusty, needs alot of welding love and care. how worth the risk is it to buy in that state and try and restore it?

For 7km over you would think any reasonable cop would have just given a caution. Some people just over use their authority and under use their humanity.
Did anyone notice that the barn doors are on the left side, which is where they are in a RH drive country like Australia, but it is a LH drive bus. Is this because Sweden was a RH drive country, and converted in the 1960's. At least we can tow a trailer at 100km/h.
I hope those 87 km/h inclued lhe average error of the measuring device. Usually, to include that error, the police accepts a 10% error, which in this case, would fit inside lhe margin of error.
Great video. Too bad about the fine. I'm sure you would have much rather spent the money you're paying on the fine for VW parts. Looks like it was pretty cold that day.
Her sister is living with me in Stockholm. She just got her rusty windows repaired. Can someone tell me what the metal plates above the blinkers are for? I only have the holes from them on mine.
it must be a bus between 1960 and 1963. one of the changes in 1963 was the big back door with big window. This one is earlier, but not before 1960. I had a 1961 built exactly at my birthday....but gone....
It is even worse than you seem to think. They use kilometers in Sweden, so 7 kilometers equals 4.375 miles over the limit. Now, if you were caught doing 25 miles/40 kilometers over the limit on the motorway in Norway, where I am from, your fine would be $1552 instead of the $225 you got fined in the US.
barndoorbarnfind, not to tell ya what to do, but I wouldn't have bothered putting on front wheels like that and expected them to roll. A lot of the time you are just asking for a wheel bearing to sieze right up or worse, spin in the housing and wreck a perfectly good spindle instead or something. If I were to suggest, you would probably be better off making a pair of low-profile junk-car moving dollies, like a wide drop axle with two wheels on top of it attached to some boards, so you can set your front end and rear end up on those, then just smoothly roll old junker to trailer with them in place. Would make job of moving old junker out of dirt a lot faster as well. Alternatively, jack up old junker and make a 'road' out of long boards down to trailer, and get a set of four dollies with hefty (but not need too hefty) casters and just glide it along. You'd be amazed how easy life can get if you have actual turning wheels when attempting to pull 2000 pound lumpy metal object out of muck instead of dragging. Finally, I would not suggest you mount old junker to trailer that way. How can you be sure front wheels are going to stay on during long journey. Imagine you are driving down road, hit big bump or have to stop sharply, suddenly rusty crusty front suspension becomes disconnected from junker, and now you have flying junker while suspension remains on trailer. This is bad. Probably smarter to have pile of boards on trailer such that junker sits nicely and solidly on wood block. Very trustworthy solution is wood block that is as wide as the trailer with special notches about where the frame rails are so that junker sits solidly on frame and wood distributes weight to trailer nicely, then big fat ratchet straps around the whole thing in 2 or 3 areas around side along with something over the front bumper tied back so that to make sure junker cannot possibly travel forward with speed if car and trailer abruptly stops. These are my 2cents from having moved many large, rusty things. I have seen amazing disaster or near disaster happen, and I learned well. Best to be safe.

thats some cool find,i respect people,who takes such challenges and brings cars like that back to life,hope to see more
It's so nice to see the old beautiful cars get saved but we all have one question in particular how the hell did it get there and what happened
It was used as a hunting hut 😊
I'm looking forward to see it 100% renovated and overhauled.
Greetings from Bangkok!
good that you rescued that bus, but it looks like a lifetime project
Nice to see old classic cars being saved from rotting away.The last scene on the trailer going home to be brought back to life.Hopefully it is now inside somewhere,out of the elements waiting to be restored
WD40, squirt of Turtle Wax and a bit of loving and it'll be back on the road. Good luck and keep us updated
sheet metal isnt all busted up thats hard to find! rust can be repaired nice project love that weathered patina
Skip to 4:48. That`s when they get to the bus
Glad to see you saved the old girl,sorry to see you get a ticket in the proses,but i think shell be worth it.!
She had seen all she wanted to see there. Definitely wanted to go. No kids to break windows. Wonderful find
Wonderful, here in south of brazil i make the same thing with brazilian opalas chevrolet we got vw bus and beatles to, and a lot of brazlian VW karman guia, Tl 1600, Brasilia and others brasilian VW, congratulatios, and good luck in your car rescues!!!!
The first song is 12th street rag by Louis Armstrong
Took quite a bit of searching to find but totally worth it. :)
thats quality german automobiles. love volkswagens
Fader snyte for ett funn!en skikkelig Split window!takk for at du hadde hjertet til å ta være på den.
Great video! Those double door models are quite rare very cool!
Nicely put together video.
Good Luck for the Restauration the Germany VW Bully!
The Glorious car of the XX th century !!! Volkswagen Kastenwagen !!!
Very very good feeling the rescue!! VW T1 the best!! and BMW!! Gratulation!!
The van is a left hand drive version, but the side barn doors are on the left side, which correct for a right hand drive version? Something to do with Sweden being one of the few places that changed the side of the road they drive on, in the 1960's?
Nice find, with all, but one window as well!
hur går det med renoveringen? är du färdig eller har du mycket eller lite kvar? har du några bilder under o efter bygget för det skulle va jätte roligt o se bilder under bygget o när den är färdig :) mvh Björn
Good luck with that project!
Nice job. Greetings from Texas. USA
Ha ha, love the use of music...suddenly the light happy mood from the beginning changes when we see the police car, and the music totally changes your mood, ha ha...made me laugh a lot, kudos on that, you should be a musical director for movies, lol...
hey guys i'm feel proud to see u worlk so hard
Well done boys , good luck with it !
$225 for 5 mph over, Ouch! The speed limit with a trailer on is 50 mph, can't imagine driving across Wyoming at that speed.
Just a curiosity....when you find an abandoned vehicle like this, can you just claim it or is there some procedure for doing this and being legal.
I ask because I may find myslef in a similar situation and have always wondered how to proceed.
O bom da geladeira é que ela conserva muita coisa!!! Congartulations! Glückwünsche. Gute Arbeit!

What song?Congratulations for this rescue of Classic VW.
That bus is gonna need more welding than the titanic.
The titanic was riveted so i hope so lol

railtrolley I was just thinking the same thing.
Swedish police are cunts
I hope those 87 km/h inclued lhe average error of the measuring device. Usually, to include that error, the police accepts a 10% error, which in this case, would fit inside lhe margin of error.
sick bus man..whats the name of the 1st song?
Great video. Too bad about the fine. I'm sure you would have much rather spent the money you're paying on the fine for VW parts. Looks like it was pretty cold that day.
any reasons why was it left at the field?
Excelent job !!! Congratulations !!
Good job u have done by saving her
Her sister is living with me in Stockholm. She just got her rusty windows repaired. Can someone tell me what the metal plates above the blinkers are for? I only have the holes from them on mine.
Why did you stop to oil the door hinges ? I mean that's he last thing that would be on my mind (whats left of my mind that is)...Nice Bus !
great to see hopefully another splity saved
congrats on saving another one ;) Greetings from Washington State.
What happened with T 1 bus? You rebuilt it or keep for spares or as it is?
Where can we see these busses actually finished?
Cool action, and "Satchmo" helps saving the T1 :-D
any updates on the bus
Great Rescue!
Good luck, old Bulli :)
how is it looking now ?
did the owner say why it was abandoned?
was you gonna be making videos of this getting rebuilt?
How is it getting on?
Where it everything occurred. In what country?
what did you do with it?? please answer
awesome, we should all save a bug/bus like this. great job.
it must be a bus between 1960 and 1963. one of the changes in 1963 was the big back door with big window. This one is earlier, but not before 1960. I had a 1961 built exactly at my birthday....but gone....
how much did you spend on gas,trailer, rope, then the restore?
That ticket would have been thrown out of Court in most US jurisdictions - 7k=about 4mph.
Did you bought it or simply stole it because was abandoned?
was it savable?
Good job rescuing that vw. I like those cars, but one question.... why are you in a t-shirt in the middle of the winter??
How to they find all those buses?
Updates?
It is even worse than you seem to think. They use kilometers in Sweden, so 7 kilometers equals 4.375 miles over the limit.

Häftig bärgning! :) min favoritlåt 8.06 också :P

svp repondre
im surprised it didnt drop to bits when you moved it
thank you sir, and sorry for speeding ticket
hvordan havnet den der?
Hej! it's somewhere in northern sweden?Cheers!
cool to find a split window !!!
Impressive work! BTW I want to know what's the name of that stock 🎻 violin music. I've been hearing it for years on TH-cam.
Great find! How much did the restoration cost?
Working in the snow only wearing a T-shirt. Tough people, those Swedish.
Really cool to know. Thanks for your reply!
Love the video! Good luck saving this splitty :)
when you find a "abandoned" car like this whats the legal protocol? Check vin at nearest place, comes up no owner than its yours?
what kind of this song??
Well done !
Simple - Sweden, their cops (road patrols) are legendary in whole europe ...in Poland +10% is cosidered as gauge error ;-)
songs????
great findig,great video..thanks for Showing the -how to- :)
Nice Transporter T1 ;)
There was an anecdote in Soviet Russia
"- Is it possible to create Swedish socialism in Russia?
- No.
- Why?
- Not enough swedes..."
Awsome Find. Fix Her!!
nice recovery
nice good job, good luck with the restoration :)
very interesting, but, btw, what is the music Background, I like it, would like to know!
excellent ... belle bagnole ....
