In this video I compiled all the episodes of the rescue of a 1972 Volkswagen Westfalia that my son and I purchased and saved back in 2020. This VW, named "Gus", was left abandoned and broken and we bought it and returned it to the road.

Please excuse some of the older sound and video quality, as we were new to YouTube at the time. Thanks for watching!
