VW Bus Restoration - Episode 79 - Backwards! | MicBergsma

mage til tumpe skal an lede længe efter

Talk about a cliffhanger!

IMO you have the plate for the gear stick the wrong way round. ie. there is no "gate" to get into reverse. To get reverse, you push down, move to the left then back. with no "gate" you are simply putting it into reverse.

I had a 79 VW Rabbit. That car does reverse in 2nd gear. To go forward, you must shift to 2nd then 1st. I dunno, got to be a VW thing. Look forward to your next episode.

Hola, ya quiero verte conduciendo tu bus. Cuando terminas???? Finish 🇻🇪😃🙏

You need to change the position of the plate between the shifter base and the floor. The slightly curved upward tab on the plate has to point forward and on the right.

turn singnals. look like a ground issue to me

woo hooo, can't wait!!!

I’m very impressed with your electrical skills. That is one thing I absolutely hate doing and you make it look easy.

Very good 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

hi congratulations ww bus, change problem the English one change

Your perseverance is to be greatly commended. Most would have given up but your determination to fix the problems is never ending, even when you have a lot of frustration. I KNOW you did get through this and ended up with one of the most amazing VW Bus restorations every made. A TRUE concourse restoration!! I'm sure you are already enjoying the fruits of you labor now based on when this video was made.

Красавчик , приятно смотреть с такой любовью восстанавливает , спасибо за подсказку о субтитрах в начале видео, очень помогло. Удачи

With led lights you might need a couple of diodes in the circuit to stop power leaking back down the other line

Did you solve the gear issue yet?
I recently acquired a ‘57 panel van and kept going into reverse trying to go down into 2nd. Is it possible that where you think is 3rd is actually 1st? Try it because that’s how mine feels to me after driving bay windows.

Mic I noticed you eliminated the reduction gear boxes. Did you let the transaxle builder know that? Otherwise I wonder if he built a transaxle for a bus with reduction gear boxes. Meaning you would have four reverse gears and one forward gear.

Good job son…💙

Geiles Projekt, Geiles Video, Kona ist der Hammer. Du schaffst das, es wird der schönste T1 den es gibt.

Great progress . Will you be putting down a Matt or carpet in drivers area? That paint doesn’t look like it will hold up in that area.
I see you were making patch up already on the paint. Bring on episode 80

Dom сделал не работу, а халтуру и теперь за ним надо много переделывать. Зачем он брался за работу, которую не умеет делать?

Your transmission probably looks like this.....

But, your project is very close to the finished line. 💪😊

today on my Mercedes class E 300 diesel I have to pull all blade fuse and clean off all corrosion .the car was setting 6 months in a barn with the battery hookup //very bad and I had none of my PIXPRO SP 360 4K Kodak with me, it was winter in Michigan --corrosion

you fine lots of parts are not held to some standard

Your shifter is not adjusted properly when you bolted it down. Loosen the two 13 mounting bolts and then put the shifter in 3rd gear. While bolts are loose. Leave it in 3rd gear and tighten the two mounting bolts down. Boom you will have all your gears.

Konami, ive

So close yet so far ...

A few little spots around the hatch opening and some other small spots… No worries, Mitch has it under control! You sure have done a good job keeping Kona under wraps until the video series is finished. This whole body of work will be a great resource for future bus restorers!

Schaltsperre für Knüppelstange um 180 Grad drehen, dann ist Problem weg. Ergebnis?

Those LED bars under the dashboard are horrible to look at. You should arrange them better, hide the cables and arrange the bars along the entire length of the underside of the dashboard.

1) Kona is looking so awesome. 2) your problem solving skills are becoming so top notch you deserve a degree in that. 3) I was beginning to wonder about the transmission when you could get it in "2nd" but not 1st and then you went backwards... So glad you have gotten it this far and excited for more. Also, how great did it feel to have learned so much from Claudio and Eddie that you were able to fix things that Dom messed up?

I'm wondering if the gearchange mechanism has been altered so that when you select 2nd, it's Reverse, and 3rd will be First, 4th will be Second, top right (on the gate) selects Third, and selecting the old reverse is actually Fourth!

Mitch, see you are still having problems with the shifter, I know they are expensive, but a Taiwan Speed long shifter I think will sort it

you need a LED capible flash relay

Dom was a disgrace to the profession, only one place would employ him.

Está ficando muito linda, não perco um vídeo, te acompanho do Brasil, linda a corujinha (°\./°)

Thats why you test everything before you install it

finally backward instead forward but it was wonderful progress to see it moving

I found a cover for the ignition terminals down in brazil. They come in black and white.

Wow. New episode is here😊

Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward. 🙂 Hopefully an easy fix now that you see what's happening.

Mic my friend you are an amazingly talented guy I would have you rebuild my business any day as it would be 99.9% perfect 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

ahhh, electrical… there’s ALWAYS issues when combining old technology with new. Different species, or some other purely magical issue. Automotive and coach Electrical troubleshooting was a specialty in my Dallas shop. I can honestly say that, besides simple shorts and grounding issues, the problems were ALWAYS traced to non OEM add on systems or accessories. It’s extremely frustrating, good job on preserving, and fighting through to the end for a well earned victory! Think of how much you’ve learned through Kona’s rebirth! I’m so very happy for Y’all!

Dom not giving you your money’s worth on the paint job is bad enough but that’s fixable… and you fixed it.

What I can’t forgive is his treatment of Lori. That can never be fixed and if anything should haunt him for the rest of his working life it should be how he treated a paying customer, especially when it was just him and her. You don’t strike me as the violent type but I am willing to bet my retirement Dom would be missing a few teeth if he had done what he did to Lori in your presence.

I was laughing out aloud when you showed Lori the ‘forward’ gear…. Your face as it moved backward. Been watching since the beginning and it’s not far off for the first ever drive. Unless you fancy going backwards ! 💯💯😂👍🏽
