Gilbert The Bus RESTORED! 

Great work Gary! Gilbert is a beaut! Good luck selling him and whoever gets him will be proud to own him! VWLIFE!

Such a clean bus!! I hope the owner is local to Central Texas so we can keep seeing it! Someone is going to lovelove LOVE this bus!!

Gilbert is a beautiful bus!! I wish I had that kind of money or a Spyder I’d take that bus in a heartbeat. That’s a great price for a completely restored dream like that. I LOVE that you put an original 1600 single in it!! I’m not a huge fan of the faster engines, I just want to be able to cruise and enjoy the adventure to wherever I’m going and everything the bus has to offer. Lucky someone whoever buys it. Wish I was in the market to take out a loan. Life comes first and dreams will happen when they happen. Peace out and VW for life!!

Nice looking Bus Gary.. great quality of work.

What a great Westy. Someone’s going to be very happy with that. ❤

Hopefully we can see it at Busfest? Ya'll did a Great job on it.

Gilbert looking good!!! I am sure you will find him a great home!

Great job Gary! That Westy is wonderful!

Great job, Gary! I’m excited for cooler weather and to get “Alfonso” my ‘71 Westy alive and registered!

My maternal grandparents had a '68 that was nearly identical to this one. Brand new, it had those butterscotch plaid curtains all the way around. It also had a removeable stool that fit in the pass through gap next to the single rear-facing seat. I have great memories of that camper. Once my grandmother came to pick up my brother and me to go stay at her house for a few days. We were probably 10 & 9 and were playing on the floor in the back. She got pulled over on a 2-lane highway by a Texas state trooper, who gave her a ticket for going too slow and impeding traffic. As we drove away she said, "I don't want to hear any smart-aleck comments from you boys about your granny getting a ticket for driving too slow." We both cracked up! She had a great sense of humor.

Nice looking bay. Great job bringing him back.

Hard to believe what these fetch. I have a '71 which I bought 30 years ago for $800.00. It was straight and everything was there, but I still put a lot of work into it getting it showroom. You did a nice job on this Van.

Outstanding work on Gilbert Little Dude! You will make bank on this

Gilbert looks great! Amazing work!

Great job! If I may make 1 suggestion though ... 15:50 should be your thumbnail along w/ a photo of the bus in a bubble 💬 caption lol

My friends parents had the same bus. We would fight over who got to sleep in the top bunk! We were 12.

Looks great! I definitely would like to see canvas top install video from you guys

Not surprised to see Willy did quite a bit of the restoration. Alan

Thanks for the tour! Love the eggshell pastel white! Any chance you are going to bring Gilbert to the TX vs the World race/swap next weekend? I would love to see that paint in person.

Boy That turned out Great !

Very nice bus.

Wow! So clean! Very nice!

Awesome job mate, wish I could bring it to Sydney Australia.

Stunning bus.

Great looking bus! My Bus is 1970

Great job Gary! Gilbert was a labor of love and its obvious you put a lot of love into him! Thanks for showing the time laps! Btw tell your aunt and uncle x2! Who's loosing there mind?Nice job filming jake. Nice job filming jake. Opps its contagious !!!

Congratulations Gary!! Nice job! I would love to own that bus. But! I can’t 😢 very cool.

I loved my '71.

She’s a real Beaut Clark! Love the look with black rims and grabbers.🔥 very nice looking lowlight. Great Job Bus Guru.👍🏻👏🏻

"Don't use this one tommy" 😂

Gilbert is Beaut,, Nice work Gary, some lucky dude is going to have Lots of Fun...

Hi Gary, long time listener first time caller😅. Is Gilbert still up for sale? Fantastic work,beautiful. Job well done. Love the VW life video's, keep up the good work.

Great work what a very neat bus

Willy just wants to go for a ride. Nice video tour.

Thank you for sharing!! Veey nice work buddy!!

Well done Gary... Great job, and a great accomplishment. 💪

Amazing work there Gary, Congrats!!!

Nice job. Looking good. I'm tempted to purchase it, but the timing isn't good right now.

Really nice work Gary. I wish I could buy it.👍🤙

I have to ask how the hell did you guys paint that VW bus in the garage with more VW"s in it spare parts, engine's in it how and how long to clean it out? lol That would be a video in itself! But great work learned to drive a stick in a bug will always be close to my hart. That was a 1971 bug.

Beautiful work Gary, it'll make someone a great ride!! GLWS!!!

This looks just phenomenal! Is this a $30k bus?

Hey Gary ! It's a nice bus !

Looks awesome! ✌🏼

Looks good. Love a Westy, ive got a very early 68. Theres videos of it on my sons channel (he uses my channel hence my stupid username 😂) If you ever want decent repro westy parts, look up NLAVW in the UK, they carry most parts. My 68 has been converted to a Continental double roof bed, much more usable than the cot. Also the little table by the spicerack is called the 'whatnot table' in the user manual.

Looks good I like the satin finish. Love the Baltic birch panels. I thought they put a access panel on all bays. My 73 had one. ✌️ Peace

Great looking bus gary, what did you use on the dash? Looks better then new.

You do good work Gary!

Hooray and hurrah!!!

scared to ask how much something like this goes for, I'm in Austin and would be on heaven with that in my driveway

Beautiful Westie!

😂 your not losing your mine 😂 someone wasn’t paying attention

Looks great love it and looking forward to owning it. How much?

Looking good.

Wow! Turned out awesome!❤

I have a 71 Westy just like yours. Mine is never been repainted or restored. I think your price is a steel! It should sell in no time.

Turned out awesome!!

Hi Gary. That looks like the one my dad owned…bought it new from Lamar Volkswagen here in Austin. What’s your ask price? I also commented on the 914 that you scored last year, wanting to buy the 914, BADLY!!

I'm 6'3 and have slept in the upper bunk of my Camper...

Did you do anything special to paint the top? Or same process as painting metal?

Did you do a video on fixing the wood in the top?

Did Gary said 37k? Or $3750

Very nice

Hey, I just bought my first 74 Westy and was wondering how many keys does it have i have the ignition key but it does not work in the doors and somebody locked the sliding door last night.

awsome work ! question is the window glass and seal on the left rear the same as the passenger side ? im wanting to delete my vent wing as well on my 75 westy

nice job.

Still in the looking phase, has Gilbert sold yet?

Well done what's next

OMG!!! L loves vans VW"S!!!

Looking good! Is that the stock antenna? I have a 71 and I'm getting it back to stock. I've seen the antenna mounted a few different places. Thanks.
