www.wolfsburgw...
as a retired boilermaker , ship builder, steel boats, i have used rust converter several times in my life,, the pros are ,, you can weld over top if need be, it's basically a polymer barrier, does it really work one might ask,, well yes and no, what your doing most likely, on ships tug boats not that well, there's honestly only one way to do rust , sandblast the whole car,, it just drives me nuts seeing videos like this one, why would you not toe the chassis to the sandblaster while its in a million pieces, your telling your viewers you will get back to it,, so what your saying is your going to spends heaps of money on this VW and then do the drive it the rusted out honestly , there were all kinds of rust holes still everywhere, from my experience fix it now,, its all apart, but new plate in that rust bucket, its an easy job, once you but the new floor board in and then go back and cut rust out, your new steel will get sprayed with rust particles, you might think oh but i will vacuum the car out,, once again it doesn't work that way, the angle grinder will shower the floor boards with minute particles of rusted steal this will burn into the new floor, you won't see the tiny little burn marks even vacuuming the floor will not remove them,, they become embedded into the new steel, starting the rust process all over again,, i see videos on you tube over and over again og guys doing this, then saying the same thing,, oh i will get back to it eventually,, well most of the time and i mean most of the time it never happens, so what we have here then with a lot of these guys is this,, they have spent a fortune on there projects , half assed the build spent a fortune on painting , tools ,, engine rebuilds, you get my drift,, so my friend }FIX IT NOW } and cut the rust holes out before you but the new floor in,, from what i can see you,ve come a long way with this already i praise you for that, having said that dont go backwards now it will be a huge mistake at this point just so you can drive it asap,, or for the sake of your youtube subscribers,,
Hey Wilfred, I really appreciate your thoughts on this. Trust me I would love to do a complete restoration on this bus and that is the goal long term. This is my first attempt at a restoration and I feel like this is a good way to achive a sense of pride and accomplishment and learn at the same time. Once it's up and running and driving there will still be lots of parts we can restore along that way. Stay tuned to see what happens. You might be surprised my friend! =)
Muito bom, assim segue a grande restauração, aguardando o grande final
Thanks Claud! I appreciate that! Stay tuned! =)
Olá quero vê ela pronta, está ficando bom o seu trabalho !!
saludos CT, Nice work
Hello Gustavo! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Could you not use a bug sprayer you know a pump up garden sprayer
Hey Thomas. That might work. I'm going to try that this week sometime and I'll let you know. Stay tuned! =)
Hey! The work seems to proceed well, although if I put myself in your pants, I would certainly carry on the restoration first and only then the ride. Driving around with so much rotten metal and rust holes makes your machine pretty unsafe, besides you'll have water and wind issues. Could be ok for summer, but the rest of the year is not so enjoyable. Don't forget the holes in the roof also. Anyway I hope you succeed to bring it together. Keep on! =)
Thanks man! I agree and would love to do a complete restoration at some point. That will require more money, time and skill. I hope to reach that goal someday! Stay tuned to see where it goes! THANKN YOU!!! =)
@@CTmoog =) You can't believe how little tools you need to do some metal job... As for body parts is ok to get replacements if you can although usually those are pretty pricey. (not always..) For things you can't get ready, you can get some sheet metal of the same thickness, a set of body tools (I have a set of 3 hammers and 4 different shape dollies), 2 pairs of pliers (grip pliers) and a heavy enough, sturdy vise to help you out. 4 basic processes are in use for sheet metal forming: bend, cut, stretch, shrink. Welding will join them together. The other tools, gadgets, helpers, forms and stuff you can make of practically anything you have around, wooden blocks, pieces of scrap metal, tubes, gas cylinder or just caps, you name it.. Try visiting the local metal scrap yard to get various shapes... =) Cheap and useful. The sheet metal for fabrication should be always new! Oh, you need also some tin snips, but probably you already own a pair somewhere.. ... a file not too coarse, some sanpaper, an angle grinder you already have and a drill, a piece of flat 10mm rubber sheet .. Simple stuff, nothing complex. Big machinery just helps you work faster, not better! =) Be positive, I hope to post some videos soon, my only biggest downdraft is time, which is always against me.
When you do blast it use soda blasting
ＬＩＫＥ | ＣＯＭＭＥＮＴ | ＳＨＡＲＥ | ＳＵＢＳＣＲＩＢＥ | Press the bell Icon - THANK YOU!!! CT =)
I LOVE HOW YOU USE CAPS LOCK. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE USE THEM!
AND LOVE HOW YOU LOVE YOUR OWN COMMENT LOL
Take a wire brush , sand the treated surfaces and if you see rust underneath remove this stuff and do it properly ( usually the converter only change the surface color nothing else, if you take bare/new steal and put it on it will get black ( generally converter just makes verything black
Yes, this is just a temporary fix. The goal is to do a complete restoration at some point.
right, i had the same experience with rust converter..... change the surface color, and when you paint the surface the paint can came out with the film of rust converter
Put that rust stuff into a squirt bottle, and then you can spray it onto the voids you cant reach. : )
Hey DJ! Great idea! I'll give that a try! Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
Get a big shop fan , & please clean MRS CT's bowl :). Good work , stay cool & hydrated !
I might get two! Yes fast before she finds out! I will! Thanks brother! =)
Matt. Your back to dripping sweat mode...Lol!... 20min later drenched... Wow. Nice work and love the fabrication tables!
Hey Ernie! I know man! I can't believe its this time of year again already! Time is flying by! Thanks man! Stay tuned! =)
You should be painting everything under the front floor panel now- its buried once the floor is in .
Hey Patrick! Good idea man! I'm going to get under there this week and do some more. Thanks man! Stay tuned!
Run as far away as you can from rust converters !!! Mechanic rust stripping combined with rust remover is the ways to go ( except you do a giant scale electrolysis or so )
HAHA! I hear you man! This is just a temporary fix for now. Stay tuned! =)
I have done 3 frame off restorations and I can tell you that you really need to invest in a small sand blaster. it will save you tons of work, and removes rust completely not just convert it. your shop is small enough to set up a plastic curtain around the bus a collect the medium for reuse. also your plan to come back and redo a full restore job is a waste of time and material, do it right the first time, or it will never get done.
Hey Ken, that is good advice man! That';s what IK want to do. I need to buy a blaster and a bigger air compressor. It's on my wish list. Hopefully son! Stay tuned! =)
Also I have used a product called pos from The Eastwood co. It is the best rust stopper on the market. Just paint it on and it seals the rust and prevents it from coming back. We used it on my son's 70 lemans sport 10 years ago and it is still working.@@CTmoog
Esto esta mejor que una serie de NETFLIX! Thank you bro!
WOW! Thanks man! I really appreciate that! =) Stay tuned for more!
@@CTmoog nothing to please! I thank you for doing this kind of videos! what you are doing with the VW Combi is great! and I hope to go see her personally!
@@freddoram Awesome! Thank you! =)
Great plan...it comes in a spray also. I put a wd40 nozzle on and spray the unreachable spots
Nice! I'll give that a try this week! I need to get some behind the lower face. Stay tuned! =)
You really need a angle grinder with wire wheels. They will do a better job getting rust off. With rust converters you want to remove the most amount of rust as possible. Otherwise you’ve converted the rust on top and there’s still some below. Just saying. KARMA!!!!
Good advice man! I'll check it out! Thanks man!
Just coat the whole van with naval jelly, wait a while, remove it as instructed and voilà! No more rust! Oops. No more van left either. You just rinsed it down the drain.
HAHA! That's funny Don! I might try that! =)
I would put it in a spray bottle and spray it in those holes and hard-to-reach places.
Hey Marlin! That's a great idea man! Thank you! I'll give that try! Stick around! =)
Repent rust, time to convert! The one thumbs down, probably drives around with the parking brake on.
Lol
HAHA! Thanks man!
@@wesleyalan9179 =)
Haha. I just realized! The 1962 Volkswagen beetle and bus are my favorite Volkswagens! Lol
Cool!!! Mine too! Stay tuned! =)
Wow! That's so cool!
You know; any sheet metal which you can stick thru with a screw driver has to go.
Chemicals often keep the oxidation in the metal and cause stability issues. Be safe.
That's good advice man! I will! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Boy, when he gets going he is like a blur. Never seen anyone so fast!
Any video on the old Allis/Siimplicity tractor or the cool old Ford truck by chance?
Hey Frank! Yes, check out some of my older videos. Lots of them. I'll make some new ones with them as well. ruclips.net/channel/UC_93TP8BjmPY335vWgttFMgvideos
Ok not sure about the rust converter you are using but the one i used said to wash it off and yes most of the black stuff came off and i saw bare metal after that then i painted it with Zinc than fallowed by primer. But I recommend you spray this after the primer with something maybe black just to get this precious Kombi Metal sealed and protected
Hey Chris! that's interesting. I'll try to clean a small area to see if it comes off. If it does maybe I'll clean it all off and paint it like you suggested. Good advice man! Stick around! Thank you! =)
CT yeah i guess if you use a stiff brush to was that small area it might be the best way to do it.
It s hot over there? Here in England Is cold ,wet ,damp, rainy and miserable crap weather that prevent me to work on my Classic Citroen Ami6, I just wanted to swear today.
OvermarsDaria I hope it clears up soon! It’s cooler here now but it’s not bad. Good luck on your project.
Looks like naval jelly , I've used that with success....but por15 is the ticket , try por 15 ... it even comes in grey color too ....stuff is gold
Keep going , the bus will look good when done
Big fan of VW vans and restoration, but this one looks too far gone to waste time and money on :(
Nice to watch the videos from Tokyo, Japan. Also it's so cool that 62's Type 2 is same as myself.
Hey Bob! That's awesome man! Thank you! That's a good year! =)
nice job brò, i always wait for the next video...... it rains here in Italy too.....
Thanks man! I appreciate that! I would love to visit someday. What part are you in?
@@CTmoog I live in a small village called Campo Ligure 30 km from Genoa in Liguria.I posted some videos of my motorcycle tours in my area .
My youtube channel is "MOTORFREAK NEW" if you wanna know what my region is like.
Quizas evites que se siga oxidando por un rato, pero no le daras resistencia estructural, al menor esfuerzo de torsion se romperan las piezas que ya estan dañadas, lo mejor seria limpieza con chorro de arena y sustituir las piezas que no sobrevivan al proceso.
Hi Rene! Yes, I want to sand blast but I don't have one. I have to buy one this summer. Thanks man! Stay tuned! =)
Step by step. Your efforts will be rewarded.
Thanks George! Good advice sir!
We call this a "roadstoration" getting it road worthy
Yes sir! That's word! =)
Perhaps sandles, shorts, tank top, and a sense of caution. Also, a shop fan. Good video Bra! I like your work.
Hey Roger! That would be a bit cooler! Thanks man! I appreciate that! Stay tuned! =)
Is your motor 1200cc?? Are u planning on using your stock engine?? Or are you going to upgrade?
Hello Raul! Yes, it his the 1200 40HP. Yes, I'm going to use it for now. I will build a bigger one later this year. Stick around to see what happens! =)
Should have gotten the wire wheel for your angle grinder for this job, also i wouldn't mind taking a crack at restoring the radio in it, i also love the gas cans you got i have an eagle one myself
Can you do that?
@@CTmoog sure, ive worked on plenty of old vacuum tube radios and transistor radios, if you want to send it over we can exchange details wherever you want
@@Raven-fu1zz It actually works but the buttons are disintegrating. Did you see the "It's alive video? ruclips.net/video/h8nQmU4b4WI/видео.html
@@CTmoog yes i saw, but it did not work or sound so well, im sure some parts need to be replaced inside
XD fajny ten film
Awesome! Thank you! =)
Here's a tip : a good painter backs out - avoids painting yourself into a corner or reaching over wet paint
Nice job CT, rust converter is just to stabilize the rust areas. To be really affective get a flappy disc on those painted rusty surfaces and take back to exposed metal then treat with 2 coats,.Rust is like a cancer unless you cut it out whatever else you do its only temporary. Keep up the entertaining content.
Hey John! Thanks man! I really appreciate that! That's good advice! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
just use penetrol and rust never comes back
Unfortunately it is very common the steering wheels get destroyed when they are pulled off. The plastic ("Bakelite") is very brittle after 50+ years. There is no way to avoid this other than not taking it off.
Yes, you are correct. It appears to be very common. I have to get the correct puller. We have to get if off so we can put the new floor in. Stay tuned! =)
@@CTmoog Even with the right puller it's quite likely that it will be damaged. When it breaks loose shock waves run through the metal frame that is molded in. I once had the knob from a shift stick literally explode into multiple pieces.
Who thinks there should be a montage at the end? Already got the music 🎷 "Secret Messages" ELO. Try it Mr. CT! (Acquired taste) 👍 (song belongs to Electric Light Orchestra)
Hey! that might work! =)
Did you like the song! Im surprised you listener to it! That's the coolest thing ever!

Thanks John! =)
This body is WAY TOO FAR GONE: Even IF you were willing to spend the INSANE amount of time doing it the right way (sand blasting & weld & grind metal repair) you will NEVER get all the rust out of all those places it's hiding in! And that rust conversion product is GARBAGE: all it can do is light surface rust which sanding or sand blasting will do better. There is a REASON why this Bus has been sitting for over 40 years!
your last name suites you well! at least he can enjoy such a classic for a few more years with this method...
@@kyekillian He already told me that this is his FIRST EVER restoration ~ do you really think it will end well? I've known experienced guys who owned FULL SHOPS who would never attempt such a lost cause.
Nice video. Only the best of luck bringing the ole bus back from the brink.
What I would like to see is someone showing how the conversion is holding up 5-10-15 years after application.
Hello Norm! Thank you! Yes, that would be pretty cool to see. If I still have it in 5 to 10 years I'll make another video about it. I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
did you get a price on a 55 gallon drum of that stuff
HAHA! Yes, I need to cover the bus in it! =)
Question. Can you weld to steel that has been treated with this convertor?? Great channel by the way SUBSCRIBED
Hi, I think if you are going to weld you would want to clean the area you will be welding on. Clean as in bare metal. You can alway apply more over the weld when you are done. Thank you so much! I really appriciate that! =)
CT Yeah the more i think about it your 100% right grind to bare metal and weld.
Great video!
Thanks Daniel! Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
A couple of ceiling fans would be a great addition out in the garage.
Hey Roger! Yes they would ! I have to work on that soon! =)
Today I asked my self.. since one week you are not put video.. nice to see you again. Regarding
Hello Medo! I know I was slow this week. Recovering from a cold. More to come! Stay tuned! =)
CT ✌️✌️👍👍👍💡🌹
Very satisfying process with the derusting! I use a similar product here, leaves a darkened and sealed/primed surface, great for paint prep. Can you send some warmth down here please! Just started Winter and already into single and negative figures!! Great work CT. Cheers Tony from down under.
WOW! That's crazy! It's that cold there? Thanks man! Stay warm! =)
Media blasting or chemical dipping is the easiest and most effective way of removing rust permanently
Saludos cordiales. Muy avanzado con la combi. Apenas estoy viendo tus primeros capítulos. Yo tengo una 1990 de maquinaria 1800 y la hicieron a 1600. Tiene sus detalles. Hay la llevo. Saludos cordiales hermano.
Hello Eloy! thanks man! Yes they are all pretty cool! Thanks for watching! stay tuned!
Do it properly,rust converter is only temporary.
He clearly stated this is NOT a complete resto... he wants it to stay some what rusty...its name isn't Rusty for no reason, right!?
dude can you send me those old shades on the dashboard please and good luck with the repairs dude
Hey Alex! They are pretty cool! Thanks man! Stay tuned! =)
Interesting stuff.
Thanks Greg!
Again a good Video. Rost Converter Ultra ... Crazy Products you have in the US ... I compare it with our products we have in Germany. Do you have to clean the surface after a day with water?
As well a new Intro for your videos - very cool. I like it.
Hello Olaf! Thank you! I don't think you have to clean it. I will check but I think you can just leave it on there. THANK YOU! =)
Just use crushed glass and remove that rust end of story. I used this method on some parts off my s10 Chevy truck and painted them , looks brand-new.
Yes, That would be the best way. Someday! Stay tuned!
Wow I really liked you project, good bye man!!
When You Believe in using a machine to take out the rust a sandblaster mr. Potato Head
Thanks James! More to come! Stay tuned! =)
@@CTmoog just do the job right take all the rest with them sandblaster you understand
Doing the same on my 1950 Dodge Power Wagon, with videos 😉. I recommend covering that stuff with oil based paint, black or clear.
1950 Dodge Power Wagon!!! WOW! My brother would love that. He has one too. I think it's a 53...Cool man! Thanks for the tip! Stay tuned! =)
Looking good bro. Yep summer is here in Florida. Down in Boca. God bless
Hey Jimmy! Yes it is! I've been down that way before. Nice town! You to sir! Stay tuned! =)
Loving the old Gravely rear engined garden tractor! Got a newer one that I put a water cooled Kawasaki 20 HP V-Twin engine on.
Hey John! yes, it's pretty cool! I love the old tractors! Oh that sounds nice! The K V-Twins are sweet! =)
For the body panels that you wanna keep the rusty patina, soak them with boiled linseed oil to slow the rusting down to almost a halt. You have to reapply it about every 6 months. Careful rags with boiled linseed oil is flammable!!
Active ingredient for rust converters is phosphoric acid. Careful that’ll stain your concrete floor
Good advice man1 I'll give that a try! Stay tuned! =)
Yes, I cleaned it up soon after with water a Dawn. Next time I will use some cardboard to catch it. It was a bit messy.
Go Jim Dandy go! Old 1950's song! You have more sponsors so you must be attracting attention! It is a long project so patience has its own rewards! You are doing well. Ron in WA state.
Hey Ron! I think I've heard that song somewhere in my life! Yes sir! It is growing! I really appreciate that! Stay tuned fore more! =)
The old girls looking good mate, nice job.
Hey PPX! Thanks man! More to come! Stay tuned! =)
What does rust converter convert rust into steel?
Heh Heh Hehe
Jus kiddin
Yes! haha! =)
Hey CT. Yeah we got some storms roll through. There's more coming today, so stay dry. Its good to see you proactive with the rust prevention.
I dont know this product. But I wouldn't get it on any rubber or plastic that your not replacing. I just wouldn't trust it.
Hey Ron! It came down again today! Yes, it works pretty good. I hear you. All of the parts are going to be replaced soon. Working on the brakes this week. Stay tuned! =)
This stuff appears to be like corraseal . It didn't work to well for me. Rust is still there. Didn't convert it a primer like says. Hopefully this is a better quality product. Thanks for sharing 👍.
que gran trabajo , te felicito !!!! un saludo de argentina
Hello Hector! Thanks man! I appreciate that! Stay tuned for more! =)
@@CTmoog already expected the next video, a greeting from Argentina
Thanks man! Should have one out tomorrow night! =)
@@CTmoog
you imagine it would be very good
I've used rust converter for many years. If done properly and then painted with the correect paint it will last foe a long, long time. I don't like the weather in your area and its no wonder that the cars you get are rusted so much. You should look for old cars from California.
Trying to save time? Cut a slot into your floorpan. Slide the floorpan into the car with the steering column in the slot. Then, tig weld the metal that you cut out of the floorpan in behind the column. Then you dont have to worry about steering wheel removal. If you want, you can grind the welds down until they are flush and buff them out. It will look fine. Searching for unusual tools sucks. This is the quick and easy way.
Maybe you could get some help from Mr. McQueen, remember he has sponsorers specialized in rust, “Rust easy” or something like that
Hey Roberto! Good idea! I like the way you think! Stay tuned! More to come! =)
Not sure if I would trust that stuff. But to get the steering wheel off is pretty simple. I made one to remove the steering wheels from garden tractors, I might have to take a trip to Florida and buy your gravely. What you will need to do is cut a plate of steel at least 1/4 inch thick, drill a cutout in the plate and make sure it will fit under the wheel. Now get the puller setup from harbor freight, align it up with the plate you just made and mark where your holes need to be, drill and tap the holes, set it on the wheel and remove. Need pictures, let me know.
That water basted rubbish does not work the rust comes back within 24 hours epoxy resin is the only way I’ve tried all these products on my Vw t5 it’s useless the rust instantly comes back because it’s water based !!
OK...complete the equation: iron oxide + rust converter ultra (tannic acid + some polymer) = ?? (Some purple/black stuff) 😂😂
HAHA! Yes, pretty much! =)
Exelente trabajo en la combi .el karman ghia lo vendiste?
Thank you! Yes, I sold them to my good friend Dennis. You will see them again in future videos. =)
@@CTmoog felicitaciones amigo mio
That vice looks like a Wilton good stuff.
It might be! I'll clean it up and see if I can find a name on it. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! =)
How did you resist doing the outside of the whole bus ?? I did a few spots on mine on the outside first, then in preparation to go after the brakes, I went after the frame, on a creeper another job that totally sucks ! ....welcome to bus life...
Skip to 9:06 for … 10:00+ for actual use of product. Cute 5 minute sanding montage btw. Millennials.
Should have called me to give you a hand. I’m here is Florida as well. 🏝
Not trying to be a bummer because I really enjoy your videos, CT ! Here’s the but- since you already have the floorboard off and exposed the rusted frame, I would blast that thing and forget about using a converter. Just save yourself some time in the long run. Just my .02, coming from somebody who wasted a lot of time doing similar things on a very rusted truck project! Keep vids coming!
Yes, I know what you're saying. I don't have a blaster yet. I have to get a bigger air compressor as well. It's on my wish list. Hopefully soon! Thanks man! =)
This is brave man!
Thanks man! Stay tuned! =)
The only thing that may work on this rust bucket is sand/media blasting. Hope you have most of it left. Anything else is a waste of time as the rust will come back
So much negativity in the comments section screw them and there Ego driven turbo twat brains! You the man ct..its your project,your time,your money...I think its awesome you taking on this beauty, Rock on ct!
By th way...its name isn't Rusty for no reason..right!?

CT...I may of all ready told you..but I just recently acquired a 74' standard Beetle...she's a lil' rough in some spots around the edges...but she looks like a new one going down the road at 45 mph..lol!
But anyway,I love the look of it...
She's solid and very much road worthy ,she's my daily driver

It's a selfish World!
No offence to sister and the bow wows
But we too need CT alongwith Rusty

HAHA! Yes, it's a balancing act! It' all good. Just have to manage my time really good. =)
Man I’m a sucker for old vises! That thing is very cool! Rusty lookin good👍I have to convert all the rust on ole pickle as well! Looks cool all turned black, you have motivated me to do mine soon! Do you rinse afterwards or does it dry just as is?
I'm not sure if you have to rinse. I will check on that! That old vise is sweet! =)
Nice work CT!!!
Thanks Lucy! I appreciate that very much! Stay tune! =)
Hi CT.I wish we could help you instead of just looking how hard you work to reach your goal .We can feel the love you put on this rusty and for this reason we'll stay tuned until you want so. See you next vídeo!
Hey Laura! You are helping by watching and commenting! THANK YOU! Stay tuned! =)
Dude, either do it properly or don't do it at all. The only way to do this correctly, is by stripping the whole thing down, sandblasting it and REMOVE all the rust. Then work on whatever you have left.
Rust converters is a hack which doesn't work and won't last. Stop this course, and do it right.
Consider this. You're spending a lot of effort and money on this thing. Do you really want it to be a rustbucket again in 3-5 years, or do you really want to restore it and make your hard work last?
And please NEVER EVER try to start a dry engine again.
Wow. I'd love to see you restore one of these. Hmm. Or not I don't think youd have the patience. 😂😂
Ahh..get over it..its his time,money,and project! Let'm do it the way he wants right way/wrong wait really doesn't matter...get over you're Ego ya turbo twat!
@@PandorumAI-dc4bk Fund me, and I'll do it.
Regardless, it has nothing to do with the point I was making. You don't have to restore an entire car, to know rust convertor is not a fix. In fact, he indicates so himsel, in the video. He plans on using it as a stop-gap measure. I'm just saying that is a waste of time and money, and he should not go there.
Using rust convertor basically means you know you're going to have to redo it in the future. Spend that extra bit of time now, and then win it back in the future.
The rust repairs is only a part of a restauration, after this he'll want to finish it nicely, so sanding, filling, cleaning, sanding, primer, sanding, cleaning... and so forth. Thats a lot of effort for something you know you're going to have to revisit. While he's so close now. The actual sandblasting, does not cost that much time from the point where he is at now.
Haha
u try bom n mesen gan
Great update! I've never seen rust converter in action before. Should be a nice temporary fix! Can't wait to see you tear out the old break system on Rusty! Thanks for clearing the air on your ultimate goal for Rusty. You got hooked. :) 👍🏼

@@CTmoog Awesome! Can't wait! Have fun, man!
Nice work.i watch vedios from thailand.
Thank you! I appreciate that! Very cool! I would love to visit some day! Stay tuned! =)
I have a TR6 where the chassis members can be cleaned on the outside and de-rusted but using a borescope it is clear that the internal chassis steel also needs treating . Same dilemma as you - rustoration or restoration / (knowing full well that the longer left the worse it will be). Spent the past month considering but still no near a decision. Sigh.
What rust?
I guess to each his own but I don't think this vehicle is worth spending all this time and money. I'm sure I could find a more worthy project.
When you find it, start your own RUclips channel so everyone can question your choices.
@@TKevinBlanc Isn't that the point?
I think it pretty damn bold,and for the love of..to take this ridiculous project on! Hands down..C.Ts th' man!
I can see your point of view. If you do your research on these old VWs like this bus you will see there is value believe it or not. This bus goes for around $30 to $40k completely restored.If you can get them for a good price and fix them up there could be a profit if managed well. Stay tuned! =)
@@wesleyalan9179 Thanks man! =)
Nice progress buddy. Engine case is looking good, did Dennis check it for line bore / thrust cut?
Thanks Gary! He said he did! Maybe you should stop by and double check! =)
CT I trust him.... it’s just hard to tell from a video vs having your hands on the engine case. I’m not trying to second guess the guy, just a general question is all.

Why no answer to my questions ??
Hello Raul, sorry my friend. I get a lot of comments. It's hard to get to all of them. What is your question?
