How come the VW community is filled with all this hype and happiness about some old piece of metal? I love it! 🤣👌🏻 Very inspiring for my ‘73 Bus rebuild. 💪🏻
I fell in love with the Beetle in 63 and have owned various ones over the years. The last was a 74 Super Beetle that I sold in about 1991. I still have dreams that car is waiting for me in the mythological VW repair shop in the sky. Keep on doing what you're doing. I love it.
My girlfriend's grandparents have a 1977 Volkswagen 231011 parked in a nearly collapsing barn for 20+ years. This summer we're getting her out of there. Awesome video!
I am a VW guy for 50 years and own three beautiful cars. I am glad you guys are so motivated to restore such a car. A million hours an 40 K should bring her right back.
Brings back memories. One of the vehicles I learned to drive on was an early 60s VW cargo van. This was my neighbours van that had been sitting for a number of years. We brought it into my high school auto shop to work on. The king pins were seized that we free up with heat and pumping grease into joint. Had a couple bugs myself over 50 years ago.
I have 3 vw in France, T3 1982, T2 1968, Super 1973. I am in cureeantly in quarantine in Brisbane and you are making my days watching all your channel! Good work, postive and funny, thumb up guys!!
No need to reply. Storytellin. And your new Westy find is close to the heart. I'll be watchin'. Had " acquired " a '70 9 passenger after college and slowly started to round up needed parts. Clutch, exhaust, tires, etc. but it was in dire need of a front torsion ladder. So I was recommended to guy to install a good one I had found. He claimed he was super mechanic and could do the work. I was young and foolish and believed him. After two months he hadn't done a thing. So I had to serve him a summons just to get the thing back. This really put a damper on my prospects as I had since landed an out of town job. I had been close friends with the neighbors and they had done a lot for us when we moved in and 4-5 years had passed and I realized I had not time for the gurrrl. My neighbors son asked for it and told him it was his if he yanked it out of the garage. I asked him to keep in touch but he never did. It was quite the handyman special. Anyway soldier on boyz, I'll be tuning in for progress.
I rescued a 78 Westfalia, same color, same interior! It also had sat 25 years in a backyard (in San Diego, CA). It's SO cool, but more expensive to restore than I ever anticipated. Still, a great vehicle. Good for you and your project!
That chair seemed nice too,and that engine analyser oscilloscope is very cool to someone who can appreciate vintage automotv stuff,all those cars are a shame how they are neglected.And also cover those bikes with a tarp!!!I hate to see stuff being neglected.
very kool,..keep the content flowing during the shutdown.... and yes just rescued a '67 Lotus white Gazelle interior Beetle parked in the same spot since 1993.
I restored a sage green 79 westy, and it was in worse condition than that (maybe my engine was a bit better to start with) but it is a beauty now and I love it to death. I am a VW Fan for life, and I am getting the itch to do another! My son will be 3 this month, and I can't wait to take him all over the country like Gary took his son. Those pictures gave me so much hope for the future.
Nice save! I have a Mexican beige WESTY that I pulled out of a yard in Ashtabula Ohio. The body is shot but the camper interior is primo. This will help in restoring my 79 sage green Westfalia Your guys videos inspired me to get in the garage and get work done on mine! Keep up the great work that you’re doing!
In the early 1990s I found a 1964 panel in a wrecking yard. Got it active and drive it for ten years. Save all we can. My 64 panel had a huge truck drive shaft for a bumper and an ancient Doobie in the ash tray. I also found the previous owners wallet, black and white license photo.
watching your channel makes me want a beetle again, I had a 73 in my teens and I remember my dad having one when I was a kid. There so expensive but its a newly found want/goal. thanks for reminding me how cool this things are.
My parents had a forest green vw bug and it was a rust bucket beyond rescue. Every time it rained there was an mini Atlantic on the rear floor board of that thing. I haven’t got a Scooby doo where it is now probably scraped. But I like old cars I’m happy I come across your channel. Stay safe.
Me and my son had the greatest times in vw busses ever sinds i came to Holland in 1970 i had bus after bus and then i had my son in 78 and me and him fixed every thing you can think of on the vw busses until 2000 and i went to a volvo and now i do not have a car no more but i have a lot of good memories of all the good and the not so good things about vw busses.Like for example driving all the way from Paris to Amsterdam and as i was parking the bus the steeringbox broke off so there was no more steering i was lucky that it did not happen on the way. Also i had a fuletank that was sucked flat by the fulepump,so only 3 liters max. i had to stop 10 times from Paris To Amsterdam and that was a lot of fun. I think you know what i mean greetings from Bill and Sam from Holland
Wow thank you so much for sharing your story! We can almost imagine all the other stories you could tell. That's really what we love about Volkswagens. People had so many great adventures and went through so much in them. Thanks again and hope stay safe out there
He answers EVERY comment? LOL. Everyone has a VW memory. Here's the short version. My dad (back in about 1970) owned a couple VW Bug's. We lived on a farm near a little tiny town called Wembley, Alberta, Canada. He had to drive to work every day and I remember in the winter that year (I was 7) we'd had a Blizzard and the snow had drifted so high I couldn't even see over it in places. The wind had drifted it into packed hard snow over the road so you couldn't even see where the road was. Dad drove the Bug over the top of the drifts and made it to work that day. I guess the Bug was so light and the drifts so packed it didn't fall through. I don't remember if he had the chains on the wheels but I'm assuming he did.
Hard to believe that property owner has all of those old classic vehicles just sitting there rusting away when many of them could be salvaged and restored. Why not offer them all for sale and at least make some money off of them? Glad to see this old Westy will not be left there to die. Great job, guys.
I love the rescues! Rescued my ‘61 ragtop Bug 2 1/2 years ago, should have it on the road this summer. Not sure if they talk to each other as I only has one. But I’m sure mine is greatfull that I am undoing nearly 60 years of wear and tear.
@@VWLifeVW I was visiting my sister-in-law in Austin over Christmas and was hoping to see so VW’s at Top Notch. It must have been too cold as only a couple showed up. I live in northern Wisconsin, seemed plenty warm to me.😁. Maybe next time!
What a beautiful rescue, always had a fond feeling for these busses but it has sparked even more this year. Even though I aill not be able to obtain one of these beauties since I'm 14 and it is still a great feeling to see one here and then.
Wow - I am still fascinated, why does the english speaking world love our old VW busses so much. 41 years after the production has ended in Hannover/Germany. What has this vehicle the modern VW-Transporter hasn't? 😊 My parents also had such a vehicle, but in the late 70s, when they were everywhere on the roads... But why in 2020?
It's about simplicity of design. We can fix anything on them. Also think about a modern car at 10:15 or 20 years. All of today's cars will be gone in that amount of time they're all plastic and I'm just going to be set to the scrap yard. These old cars are solid steel
Awsome to See so many help for old German VW . I live in Germany an got also 2 VW Golf MK III/IV . My next one will be a Golf MK II . I Think in USA the golf names Rabbit or Bora. My VW Passion Starts as i learn to speak. I also learn Carmechanik by VW ... Thank you 4 Safe those Classik Cars!!!!
Great to see another Bay Window rescued. The video caught my eye because I have an Automatic ‘ 78 Bay (Wilma} in great shape here in NL Canada and this one might be her sister or first cousin. Would be great to compare vin #’s to see where they came off the production line for a laugh. I haven’t seen the rebuild video yet but am looking forward to watching! Great work guys! Keep it up! Cheers from the Rock! ✌️🍻 G
Guess you must now be in lockdown too, crazy times, but a golden opportunity to get work done on the projects in the garage, keep safe, greetings from lockdown UK!
Very cool. There is one in a service station yard by me in Saginaw, TX. The guy has a tow service and has been in business since the 70's, and has a lot of old vehicles in the back lot. You can see a bus in there from the road.
Thanks for sharing another great episode of VW-adventure. As I watched you guys putting away all the debris I felt about TJKs in another sense of the word. And ... thx a lot for sharing the memories of Gary and young Jake. I wish my dad would‘ve taken me on such a great roadtrip.
Great video, its nice to see those old pics of Gary and son. We had a 73 westy for about 7 years. We camped alot but no long distance trips. Keep on dubing!
Omg , how many do you have l am guessing you 3 are doing one at a time.... I like watching Guys restore them to live another 50 years it gives me a trill 😳
Would you ever consider selling one of your finds without fixing it first? Or have any tips on finding abandoned vw buses? I'm hoping to restore one fore myself if I can find one
we sometimes do sell ones we find but don't have one for sale now. just work as hard as you can. go looking around, put out ads, look on craiglist , facebook and the samba. they are out there but they aren't going to be easy to find!
Aww man you guys are awesome! I did the same, I picked up my new 1962 SO34 flipseat westy the day before the lockdown here in Scotland,UK-my 5th Splitscreen, I feel this one is a keeper though! If we’re gonna go into hiding it may as well be with old VWs!
VW Life it’s on the road, needs very little welding,has a brand new engine has great patina an is totally stock-I just want to get out on road trips an camping in it with the family!
I would like to leave a suggestion; When you are going to rescue a car in this state of conservation, how about having the habit of going through a car wash, on the way home and doing a wash before arriving home. The vehicle would arrive with a different appearance and facilitate access to certain areas such as suspension, brakes and steering.
How come the VW community is filled with all this hype and happiness about some old piece of metal? I love it! 🤣👌🏻

wonder if it ever made it on the road
I rescued a 78 Westfalia, same color, same interior! It also had sat 25 years in a backyard (in San Diego, CA). It's SO cool, but more expensive to restore than I ever anticipated. Still, a great vehicle. Good for you and your project!
Right on, try to save money when you can.
I’ve just bought a very rusty 1973 t2 bay and this gives me a bit of hope thank you 🙏
You guys are heroes for the aircooled volkswagen. You are part of saving the best history of car in the whole world.👍👋💕.
You guys should be commended on preserving an endangered species.Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!!
well thank you Mark!
Old car van lorry etc etc. Your giving new life . God bless you
thanks :P
That chair seemed nice too,and that engine analyser oscilloscope is very cool to someone who can appreciate vintage automotv stuff,all those cars are a shame how they are neglected.And also cover those bikes with a tarp!!!I hate to see stuff being neglected.
i think most of the trucks are going to get another lease on life
very kool,..keep the content flowing during the shutdown.... and yes just rescued a '67 Lotus white Gazelle interior Beetle parked in the same spot since 1993.
Very cool! congrats
'78 is GREAT..I had a green one in Germany courtesy of the US Army.
Cool save. The trucks are cool, too. Ought to get them, too. Be nice to see the site cleaned up ( what a mess!)

Hi sup dena
Every once in a while I see a blue vanogen with a flat bed in your videos, How come no love for the vanogen flatbed? Love your videos, fun channel!
what do you mean by no love? what more do you want?
VW Life how bout a run down of the rig? Assuming that the owners are willing of course. These days even the vanogen kinda rare up here.
Nice Bus...plus we get a 'plumber' shot of Jake at 8:33!
Haha okay
That was the best part of the video 😁
A bloke can never have too much rust!!
that's right Tony!
Volkswagen font! You guys rule! VWLife!
Hey it's the little things that matter!
Cool ride. I dont know much about buses or vans. Yall should do a video explaining the differences. Like micro, kombi, westy ect.
That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion
Doing our part to save the vws. Awesome
That's right! Save them all
Great stuff fellas! Winch on the trailer is a game changer!
Greetings yet we can't wait to get one on there!
hi guys! you are awsome! im a vw fan here in mexico city. big hugh and take care of the virus.

Nice bus ... and a free watch.
Bonus!
Very happy people,good luck.

My parents bought the first combi bus straight off the assembly line in Germany. Hamburg to New York. 1967 if I remember correctly.

Great job !!.
Seeing yours videos turned me into a VW bus fan. Probably I will get one in the near future.
You should!
This one will be a fun watch. Look forward to the build. 😎🇳🇿👍
yeah should be fun for sure!
Should have got those all those Chev trucks!👍👍😀😀
Thank you for making these videos. It’s a welcome distraction and greatly appreciated up here in Washington. Cheers!
Hey Julius well we're glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Whatever happened to that tan 56-57 Chevy stepside Apache pickup that was sitting next to the Westie?
Not my favorite VW Bus year but a good find. What is the next step? Total restoration or a quick clean up?
No this one's not going to get a full-on restoration mostly just a spiff up and get it back on the road again
Great find! I'm looking forward to seeing you guys get her running. Thanks for sharing, and I just purchased your long sleeve tee. GOOD TIMES!
Hey awesome Reggie thanks for the support and we hope you enjoy your T-shirt!
Aww man you guys are awesome! I did the same, I picked up my new 1962 SO34 flipseat westy the day before the lockdown here in Scotland,UK-my 5th Splitscreen, I feel this one is a keeper though! If we’re gonna go into hiding it may as well be with old VWs!
Oh wow that's a really nice split window! Does it need much work? Good score
VW Life it’s on the road, needs very little welding,has a brand new engine has great patina an is totally stock-I just want to get out on road trips an camping in it with the family!
Post a picture of it on our Facebook page
VW Life i will!
Very nice proyect!!! Love it!! Good luck!!
Thanks!
I liked the music. I can't wait for the restoration
thanks IVOR stay safe!
I would like to leave a suggestion; When you are going to rescue a car in this state of conservation, how about having the habit of going through a car wash, on the way home and doing a wash before arriving home. The vehicle would arrive with a different appearance and facilitate access to certain areas such as suspension, brakes and steering.
Hey thanks for the suggestion! Actually we will give it a proper power washing and be there to film it all when that day comes.
I was just thinking the same thing. Quick pressure wash.
Nice job guys, nice to see another one saved!
That's right thanks!
