In this exciting episode of Vangabonders, we embark on a journey to give our beloved 1973 VW Bus a complete cargo floor makeover! 🚌💨

Join us as we kick things off with some essential repairs in the front and rear wheel wells to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. Then, we've got some extra hands on deck, with our good friends Jon and Jack, as we dive into the meticulous process of stripping the paint off our replacement cargo floor using Aircraft Stripper Ultra.

But that's just the beginning! We'll take you through the meticulous steps of prepping the new cargo floor, from sanding it to perfection to applying a protective zinc primer. Finally, brace yourselves for the epic moment when we plug weld the cargo floor into place, giving our VW Bus a brand new lease on life.

Whether you're a seasoned restoration enthusiast or just love witnessing the magic of automotive transformation, this video is a must-watch.
