    Thank You for this video. I love your enthusiasm and your fearlessness! Like you, I've always wanted an older VW bus, but nowadays they can be awfully expensive. I have a mig welder and assorted metal working tools/machines, but have never done an extensive restoration like yours. However, you have inspired me to start looking for a project bus. Thanks again!

    • @JewelryRvMe
      @JewelryRvMe  Před 7 lety

    It would be so easy to try to knock your efforts on the basis of my grandad's spade, (I've only had to replace the handle three times and the blade twice), but your enthusiasm, and obvious respect for the original build, (obviously as far as practicably possible) shine through...
    Leaving aside the slightly dubious hubs, you have my deepest respect ...
    Thanks for a genuinely interesting and very different film
