Im diying to take atrip like this in my camper 66.
I keep coming back to watch this ‘58 microbus adventure series over and over again. Hands down, the bumfuzzle channel on YouTube are the best videos on da Web! I got a ‘57 single cab I like to hotrod around..and a ‘62 camper I drive a bit more delicately. Like JJwoodywood, it brings a tear to my eye, and like vwcamperFlatfour, I love safari windscreens. I may catch pneumonia when winter comes…I’m one to latch ‘em down only when it’s just too cold!
wow amazing .. you bring a tear to my eye : .)…. your restoration was awseome!
i have a 69 beetle .. im also in the process of restoration

peace and love <3

Great video
The old Datsun 320 pickup trucks have the crank-start feature too…up until about 1966. They’re ratcheted so if the engine backfires, it won’t snap your wrist!
amazing restoration. good work sir.
Thank You…that was fun.
So cool! I want one. And there were so many just sitting there waiting to be brought back to life.
I’m in love. I know I’ll kick myself forever if I pass this thing up, so I’m going to take a closer look tomorrow.
