I can’t be the only one that gets sad when I see somebody sell their project Volkswagen due to health issues. But I do love that bus

A late bay bought from an Englishman lost in Texas. Fun upload as always gents
Ben 🇬🇧

we might be lucky :)
You guys live in such a great part of the state and have a much larger community of vw lovers. What a great find...now ya gotta sell somethings to get a cash flow going for ya. Always looking forward to the next video. And you know what I say...better than tv.
Yes we are, well according to you anyway :)
So stoked about this! I just got a 78 bay

THAT NICE PROJECT

Nice !
Thanks!
Exactly the year and lowered style I want!!!
it's a good one :)
Guy seller is a good soul ... Very nice dude. Fell sorry for his back
yeah crazy!
What a haul!
indeed!
Those elocution classes really paid off for that Bay owning Texan 😂.
lol
Great bus and video😀😎🇳🇴
thanks! :)
A VW addiction is incurable!
Nice bay!
yes, no cure!
Man do you guys know how to have fun!
we try :)
Love it! Great pick and video Gents!!! Have fun with that FI, I'm sure you're glad you have spare parts :) Ask me how I know lol.
Thanks! Will do!
That is beautiful!
It really is!
Even with the scrapes and bruising
The turds are piling up lol! Looks like my yard. Love it.
this is the best way to put it!
I'm more excited to see the Porsche wheels for the 914. Hope they fit. Thank goodness you removed the crappy side moldings on the 914! Really looking forward to seeing some work on that car.
yeah those came off fast :)
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Awesome! I need this bus!! The sale of the single cab I was looking at fell through :(
it's for sale, one day anyway
@@VWLifeVW one day is better than no day! Good news though, ok going to look at a bus next weekend! There is still hope! 73 Bay so I get to be part of the bay club ha!
So cool!!👍🏻😕
indeed@!
looks really really fun, men........
good times indeed!
Nice bus with a sexy lowered stance. It has the same Type 4 engine as the Porsche 914 that y'all recently scored. You guys are having too much fun, and I'm jealous. lol
yep exactly the same one!
Good stuff, fellas. Keep up the good work.
Chuck in Kentucky
1973 Westy
thanks! post a picture of your 73 on our facebook page - facebook.com/VWLifeVW/
@@VWLifeVW done!!
Cool Bay, maybe we need to start a 12 step program, naw you need to get closer than that before you buy’em.
we have a problem. a weekly 12 step program would help
You guys should give a hint about the price range your paying for finds like these. I’ve been wrenching on VW’s for over 50 years and I’ve never seen prices skyrocket like they are doing now on stuff I wouldn’t even have looked twice at years ago. If you scored on these it would be nice to see there is hope and still some good deals to be had. Keep up the good work! I love Thursdays because I can’t wait for the next video. You guys rock!
yeah, we are CHEAP keep that in mind when you see us picking up a project. this isn't gas monkey garage over here :) we're going to keep pricing to ourselves
Now you can take the 914 engine and put it in the FIB and you can get Tommy to rebuild it . Those do not get end play problems as much. The only problem with those is the heads. They wear out the guides and need real valve jobs. Congrads . it nice
ah good tip thanks!
HEY - isn’t that your buses on the cover of the new VolksMania magazine? NICE!!!! 💕
Yes it is! pretty cool huh?
Fast forward 20 years, after complaints from neighbours, the local council serves notice to clear the land of hazardous waste and the enforcement is to return all materials to the country of origin. VW Germany suddenly find themselves with a stash of parts and decide to re-start production of beetles & buses... I think there may be a problem...
this could play out :)
That.bus sure looks nice, it reminds me of when you guys found a.Westfalia Camper
yes very similar!
Please go out and get some more voax wagon buses
Okay 👍😂
I was ,ten years old, when
Your bus was built.
very cool!
think its has Nates spindles on that , nice score
Thanks!
Interesting find. I think you boys DEFINITELY have a problem (but it's fun entertainment)! I alway enjoy a car birth certificate--you can't get any more real than that! Now we need to see you guys working on all these cars again.
We agree! it's been a lot of buying and not much fixing.
You are going to have a lot of cars on your hands
that we are :)
DEFINITELY A GOOD PROBLEM!!!
some might agree :)
Nice find guys. My motor goes in this weekend. I might be hitting you up on some EFI components. Hopefully not. LOL
big day!!! have fun
That is one sweet looking Bay. Man maybe I can donate a kidney to get some green backs for it.
yes, get one that :)
Save a bay ..... enough parts to build 4 more
Nice score
indeed! good stuff
I have to say I am jealous you guys got that 914 i have wanted to build a class 10 car out of one for a while now
a class 10 914? nice, this one might be for sale one day :)
Hey, Can i get the specs on the stance of this bay? its sits soooo damn nice!!!
wish they didnt have smog requirements for 78s here. would be nice. lots of them got crushed because of that stuff.
yeah it's a pain
Yes, you guys do have a problem. Ask me how I know🙂
ha ha ha :)
Sou Adriano do Brasil sou fã de vcs ok parabéns pelo o canal de vcs viu
thanks!
You must keep the ladies in your life well taken care of with Bling to gett away with all the Vdubs 🤣
we try :)
Impressive Miata at 1:25.
cool huh? !
Any updates regarding the Westfali Camper?.
the 78? it's parked in the back waiting it's turn.
I have five new in box 15x6 4 bolt ATS wheels like the Porsche wheels. 18 lbs. each.
Nice!
VW Life - The new title should be called VW Lifw Safer
that could work!
Hello VW Life! Are the wheels rebanded to 15 inch? I'm looking for a resource to have this done other than a recommendation for a place in Cali...they never return calls.
Look up smittys smoothies. They are 14''
Is it for selling yet
I hear you always claim that " You have a problem" when it comes to saving these old VW's. But I think it's a really cool problem to have. Keep up the rescue efforts.
:) thanks Mark!
it was hard to hear, but what did he say about making the front seats? because it was tubbed, the seat was thinned out to save on seating height? Where are the seats from, and how did he get the low profile seats? I need to figure something out like this for my split-window too. Not because I tubbed my bus, but because I'm very tall and need as much room as I can get. Any recommendations?
yes the seats are from a vanagon, so a little lower profile, they scooped out some of the lower cushion to make them even a little lower.
What about the oval bug in the back?
actually it was sold!
You guys going back for the oval bug on the side of the garage?
no that was actually sold :)
Ha !! A PorscheBayWindow !!
indeed!
Sweet! You guys gonna keep it lowered like that?
Not sure yet
A neighbor recently had her BMW towed home. Driver angled the flatbed until the car dropped off, he then pulled forward until the rest of the car fell off! I know, I should have gotten video of it but I was in shock watching this! Glad it wasn’t my VW!!
jeez!
@@VWLifeVW outrageous huh?
View #850 at 2:08 PM on 4/1/21 - NJ....This seem almost to good to be true. I was thinking it was and April Fool's joke....Great Score
yeah it's true :)
Great score ,how’s the 914 doin ? 😃
it's doing well :)
Great bay! What are the tire sizes?
not sure but he had the wheels widened.
Need this setup for my t3.
English dude in Texas eh...you guys have got a lotta projects now...👍🏴
yep, he's moving back.
@@VWLifeVW was that a cheeky little oval next to the house?
Will you be selling any of these cars? I’m getting the itch.
yes everything is for sale for the right price!
how much you gonna sell it for when you get it running?
not sure yet :)
Harvest 2021 hb=harvest bus
maybe who knows :)
@@VWLifeVW if you do I just may drive up and over from Fort Lauderdale to buy some tickets. Great find. And great job!
