Complete Restoration of RUSTY VW Bus Floor Pan (One BIG Mistake) 

Love the long format video with voice-over. Your knowledge of VW repairs is vast. Thanks for sharing 👍.

So therapeutic watching the bus come back from the grave!

I get the feeling that when you are finished with this vehicle, it will be lightyears better than new... Thumbs Up!

Great to watch this along with "Vangabonders" and the master "Fitzee's Fabrications"

Brandon, nice work as always. And may I say, your voice, tone, speech cadence, inflection, and what ever else that is important for narration is spot-on. Clear and relaxing as well as informative. I look forward to your videos.

New video on a sunday night (in Germany) - doesnt get much better than that! Great work as usual!

Haha I was just about to suggest a needle scaler for that undercoating and then I saw yours in the video. That thing was a god send on the undercoating of my bus.

Searching for this kind of videos here on RU-vid for learning, cause i am a old cars restorer im my city, i just found this great video, and just discovered that the Brandon's bus came from a city just 80 kms from my city.(I suspected at the time i saw the license plaque). I had a 68 bus( here in Brazil we call "Kombi"), that i just sell to client of mine, and he asked to me to complete the restoration. In my country these cars were pushed to the limit in heavy duty work, that explain the body situation, and the fact that about 20 years ago the old "Kombis" had a very low value in the market , you could easily buy one for 50 or 100 bucks. That started to change about 15 years ago because of the nostalgy. We had here 3 kinds of "Kombi": the T1 ,that we lovely call here "corujinha" that means "little owl"(owlet) cause she has a face like an owl (57 to 75), we had the "Clipper Kombi" (75 to 97) and the "Carat Kombi" (97 to 2013), and i think is a shame for us the fact of produce this vehicles for so many time, millions of units, and today has a so poor support on nacional body parts, thats ridiculous! Very nice work Brandon! Your style of working , looks to much like my style to work here, searching for the rust werever it be! Very good job!

Brandon your log of activities really helps one appreciate how skilled and patient you are.

An excellent video of skilled and careful work.

Good luck meeting your deadline. Looking forward to seeing it rolling

Floor pan came out nice. Good work. Happy Motoring.

Hello, frankly you do a great job, we see that you are 100% passionate.👏

Really enjoy this!! Thank you for recording the process in detail, it will be an outstanding historical account of the vehicle and its construction!!

Solid work brother

Брендон приветствую! Приятно смотреть за твоей работой! Не у каждого ювелира такая точная работа. P.S. Береги бороду, а то очень много искр.😂

amazing video and commentary!!

Excellent as always. I really enjoy your thorough approach and your articulate narration. Thank you.

This is next level craftsmanship! 👌🙂

So exciting!! I love deadlines!

Good luck with deadline my friend “Chance favors the prepared mind” don’t know who originally said it but it sounds like something Sun Tzu would say

Awesome video. I admire your creativity

Brandon you are Bus restoration jedi the force is with you. The

Хорошая работа 👍 !

Nice job. Hello from Ukraine 🤟

Great work!!!! And also a really nice video! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yeh boss kicking goals mate👊🏽🤙🏽

Just subscribed love your work man. 👍 👌👌

Great job!

I found heating and wiping with a cotton rag a bit easier. Hot bitumen and wire wheeling is a new torture.

looks good , thanks

Great

Very Nice Work

txs for sharing...

The floor looks super. Would of been quicker to order a whole new floor, but then you would be a parts installer and not a true pannel beater.

I’m interested in your metal prep process I know I have surface rust on outside and inside. I’ll have to look at your videos to see what products you use. Por 15 is a bit pricey in New Zealand

Quality work as always !

Trabalho de qualidade muito bom parabéns

Loving the progress....And we all make mistakes along the way....Also, where to you find that weld through that works with POR15? Thanks! Keep up the great work...

The replacement pieces: why are they only sections of whole panels? Are they sold that way or are you custom ordering them?

You really need to use thinner cutting discs, as you weld gaps are too wide. MIG weld is brittle, so the welds are likely to fail

I am considerably older than you dude let’s just say that I may be older than the bus you are rebuilding. A recovering rock musician who ended up in a wheelchair. The idea of going places without my chair is dreadful walking is extremely painful the idea of one of your restorations transporting me and my chair is a dream. Do you think a floor like the one you have rebuilt could support me and my chair total weight approximately 600 lbs

at 3:13 there's a little face in the floor that is as shocked at the quality of repairs as the rest of us!

Лайкосик за ананизьм!😉

Was your Bus from Florida? One would think vehicles would be less prone to rust in that road salt free environment.

Which weld thru primer works with POR?

🤗👍👏👌
