This is the extensive restoration of a VW bus I restored for a friend who was a civilian contractor in Iraq for a year. Part one of four.

  • damn I wish mine was that solid... nice bus dude =)

  • Thanks!

  • Orange Blossom Special! Nice touch.

  • Gotta have a nice mix! :)

  • How did you restore the dashboard?

  • This is one of the great things about older buses. The entire dash is sculpted out of metal, so there are no dash pads to buy. The dashboard alone is a work of art. Just sand it down, fix any blemishes the same way you would on the exterior of the bus, and paint it.

  • love the attention to detail, I was buying a 72 myself and this will be my very first restoration. any pointers? what is the stuff you put on the floor 2:07? yellow stuff. I know my way around the shop but could use some advise from a pro, thanks a bunch for putting this vid up, appreciate the way you show the rusted area, removal, replacement, and weld , very informative, not everyone goes that extra step on any of the other videos, Thank u

see all

  • @dirtymcspirty your's was even worst than this one????

  • wow I wish I could do that, but I would not know where to begin

  • I had one just like this as my first car, my dad and I restored it. But about two months ago I was going down a one way road the correct way when some jackass in a Ford mustang was speeding down it the wrong way. No one got hurt but I almost killed that bastard because he didn't care enough to get of his Cellphone. I now drive a 2004 VW Jetta...but I have a VW bus hot-wheel and a snapshot of me in the bus, sort of like a shrine.

  • this is great. i'm doing a 74 right now, but it's getting the custom treatment. not doing anything to the body though. just the interior.

    i want to restore a bus back to original sometime. great job broski.

  • Excellent Work!!

    All of this series is Excellent work!!
