I am over the moon with how amazing Kona is turning out. I'm sure you can't wait to be finished. This has been an amazing story. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Mic don’t get discouraged, in the end these are just some minor setbacks along this journey. Can tell you and Lori are way happier working with this shop, you two are smiling way easier, and have to say these guys may be a young crew but then again when you’re 58 most people are young to you, they’re professionals through and through. The fits and finish I’m seeing are immaculate. This bud is gonna look way sweet when it’s all finished
a friend sent me here... he likes that van and deaf dude building it is an inspiration for all Deafies. thumbs up from me n him, peace!
What an amazing workshop.such a contrast to the last place. These people actually work!
haha yeah night and day difference
OMG!!!
Amazing upholstery team. So dedicated. Go Kona !!!
I am loving these interior episodes. So much work getting done, by such a skilled group of folks, working like a well oiled machine.
Glad you enjoy it!
Amazing craftsmanship!! Hard working and extremely skilled. Pulling all nighters shows how much they care about getting the job done right. The colors you chose are perfect for your build IMHO. Thanks again for showing just how much time and effort is involved in a restoration of this magnitude. Certainly one of the best ever.
Thank you very much!
Man Mic!! So much action in this video!! Such a contrast compared to being at Skinners where you had to wait on someone to help you. I'm so glad to see some beautiful work being done on your bus! I can't wait for the next video!! Also, so awesome to see Lori happy and smiling again. Its good to be done at Skinners and moved on to the next stage. Bravo my friend.
No doubt!
I remember my 1978 Honda Accord had same topping in 1990s.
LOL, Lori reminds me in 1980s her Scooby-Doo cooler.
Awesome topping work, it looks costly hours.
These guys are magician's unbelievable craftsmanship......top notch work...
Absolutely!
Hello, I live just a few kilometers from the birthplace of the VW BULLI. I think this careful restoration is excellent and a lot of fun to watch. My first car was also a VW Beetle built in 1951, it was already 10 years old when I bought it. Still driving a VW this time it's a TIGUAN. I'm already looking forward to the next episode.😃
Just so very 😁 happy for u mitch and Lori 💞, just luv seeing all these professional people doing there professional work, literally art in motion, and evan work at night to get the job done, can't wait for the Windows that will change everything 😁🎉💞have fun , God bless 🙏
Extremely professional out fit by this company --> West Coast Classic interiors = their staff skills are very impressive !
Looking more and more like it's ready for the road!
You and me both!
Hope you fand you wife feels better!!
Great job!
and this guys works excellent!!!! 👌🏼👊🏼👏🏼
Thank you !
Be encouraged my friend, anytime you do that level of customization you’re going to have 1 million little details come up in the process. In spite of the naysayers, I think you have shown great patients and understanding. Thank you for sharing the process. Prayers and blessings.
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
Ya casi finaliza la tapicería. Está quedando muy bonito. Ya quiero ver terminado todo. 🇻🇪😀
Love seeing more progress you two and the people helping getting it done
Wow , looking beautiful, credit to everyone
Dear Lori and Mic, at the final end you will own a wonderful, a beautiful, A UNIQUE VOLKSWAGEN BUS T1❣️ Made from your hearts and minds. You realy can be proud of! A T1 Bus for Life 🍀🙏🍀
Greetings from the home of VOLKSWAGEN!
🇩🇪WOFSBURG🇩🇪
Upholstery people are like expert magicians.
agree!
it looks nice. Really enjoy to watch from begin to end soon..
Skilled guys, excellent attitude
It's all about the attitude ! :)
I`m calling you Mic Mountain Mama from now on. "Berg" mountain in German and "ma" mother. I hope you`re going to make a compact version of this say, a 3 or 4 film length episodes from start to finish. I bet you Mic, it will be a hit. It is the most in depth restoration ever filmed.
The attention to detail is amazing and they make it look effortless. So much progress. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
That ragtop segment was awesome 👍🏻! Quality workmanship right there! Fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the ragtop!
Hi Mick and Lori, what a journey, you are nearly there. It'll soon be time to enjoy the bus life. Take care love from the UK.
Hi Mitch and Lori. I'm SO impressed with the loving care you two are putting into this restoration. Kona is a gem. This upholstery crew is top notch and seem to be very easy to work with. I'm enjoying every second of the vids and I don't care how long it takes to post them. I'm just happy you're sharing the process with us and if you're able to defray some cost via the videos,good for you.
My only regret is that I'll never get to meet you and Lori and I'll never see Kona in person.
Really appreciate your comment!
Loving all the progress in these new episodes. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Hey Mic, there's only one word to say:
WOW!!! 😎🤙
cheers !!
Great job! What a fantastic group of people!!
Beautiful work, amazing hands you have on her at this shop. You need to suffer quite a few nightmares to live your dreams. Its all going to be worth it. So stoked for you kids, you have put so much, so many years into this bus, Kona is the cleanest most beautiful bus I could imagine. You guys are killing it. Much love!
Much appreciated !
Hi Mic! What a fabulous job the guys have done for you. Amazing skills and it 's looking amazing! Hope your'e both not too knackered? Looking forward to next episode. Take care of yourselves.🙂
Bravo TOP Great job!!!!!!!💫👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💫
Wow, it's coming together so well and so fast. I'm really glad you found such a great group to do the interior.
Us too!
It must feel so good to see the light at the end of the tunnel! That bus is top notch, man, top notch! P.S. My son and his classmates at California School for the Deaf in Fremont, CA are following the build! 🤙 Looking so so good!!
Very cool! Glad y’all are enjoying the journey with me ! 😊🤙🏼
Magnificent job Mic!!!
Many thanks!
There's nothing like finding great professionals to do an excellent job on your bus.
Amen!
Excelente episoden75...congratulations mig...
You're almost at the end! I'm really surprised that the ragtop fit as well as it did with all of the modifications to the roof. It would have been better to fine tune all of the brackets and get it perfectly installed before painting, then it would go on easy. You did it the hard way, but it's done! Yay!
Fit and finish takes time, it will come you'll see.
Love these peoples’ craftsmanship.
This is such an epic build. All the details ❤ first class Mic! Great video editing too. So wonderful to see this new episode 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
The closer you get to the finish line the more you will find little details pop up the crew at the trim shop seems to be doing a great job
Hard to believe! I didn't realized that was a lot of work for Kona!!!! I'm very impressed with skilled group of folks! Good people!
Hey 😊 I c Kona is coming along nicely
Interior is taking shape. It’s really gonna beautiful when finished . Bring on 76
master craftsmen at work, love it
Hello Mic here in Brazil VW is called Kombi and your Kombi is stunningly beautiful, congratulations, this Kombi is looking better than ordered, I really liked it
Thank you! 👍
Clearly that van is going to be vastly better than when it left the factory . Looks fantastic . ❤
Thank. you!
Imagine binge-watching this channel from the beginning?
WOW Brah this shop is amazing!! I can’t believe how much goes into the upholstery of ur bus but these guys & gals make it look so simple but I know it’s not. Kona looks amazing !!
Right?! Thank you!
Looking very good. It amazes me how many small details are involved in this work.
Wow great work
Yeh, these guys are pros.
You choose to do the hard thing!
Don’t ever give up ⬆️
Love watching the progress on your beautiful van, keep going NO MATTER WHAT! 🙏🏼🌞✨💖🙌😬
Beautiful good job perfect 👍
yeh dude. looking good :)
🤙 Thanks man!
Looking forward to episode 76. Looking quite awesome inside. These guys are true professionals!
Thanks for this episode 😍 waiting for the next 😁😝 now mike you have to think about the next restoration, a vw for Lori 😅😁 !! ahahaha go go go
haha.. We shall see!
Your color palate is absolutely outstanding. The beachy, bright neutral is so peaceful. The Aqua color with the warm white is the most fitting color for Mitch! As wild as it looks its a color that does exist in the finest waters of the world. I'm very impressed with your vision for Kona.
Thank you! Lori did a great job picking out the upholstery .. our vision was a beach cruiser and believe we nailed it! :)
I love your videos
incredible how complicated those interiors are. i can’t believe they mass produced something that took that much labor to complete.. good video!!!
I totally agree!
What an amazing job! The upholstery is the cherry on the cake!!
GREETINGS THANK YOU FOR SHARING I HOPE ALL MY SOUL HAS A COMBI LIKE YOURS THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING 🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Thanks Mic.
Any time!
Hello MicBergsma,
I also often use rubber seal softener in my car.
I am deaf. I come from Germany. Your Bulli looks better.
Greetings Tobi
Love it!
German Bus = German Gummipflegestift. The Stick for the Rubber. I like it. Greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪 😊
Great to see things moving along so nicely.
What craftsmanship! Upholstery can be such a finicky beast to tame. These fine folks have the skills, and patience, honed over years of practicing their trade, to really make KONA’s interior pop!
Y’all have made great choices in the repair, fabrication, and finishing shops for KONA.
Cheers from Dallas!
Much appreciated!
Looking great! Amazing the amount of work you’re getting done in such a short period of time (finally, eh?) Can’t wait to see it done and on the road.
You and me both!
Супер интересно фото большое видео ❤😊😊😊 лайк лайк лайк ❤❤❤❤😊😊
The bus looks amazing wow.. its automotive art ! I wish they still made them
Awesome. Many thanks.
Just what I envisioned a long time ago with the exterior and interior finished in those colors.
The new company is working so hard, you are having trouble keeping up! Awesome!
Haha that’s a good thing ! 😊
Just bought and received your 3 beautiful Kona t-shirts ! Can’t wait to wear them soon when we go to Australia for 3 weeks at end of March ! Will send you photos !
That’s so awesome!! Yes please! Send us on Facebook or instagram 😄🙌🏼🙌🏼
Some things happen, it is what it is, by the looks of it the van doesn't look far of from being finished, keep pushing through stay strong and you'll get there 👌👌👍👍
Thanks, will do!

Fantastic job being done looks lovely only thing I would say is joints in seals to bottom of windows to stop leaks. Well it would leak in uk

Nice!! Can’t wait when it’s finished!!
