How NOT to Restore a VW Bus - Dev Around the Sun 2020

I bought a 1966 21-Window VW Bus off eBay in 2004 and restored it over the next 12 years. I thought it was going to be done within the next 6 months throughout the project. I learned a lot of lessons related to software development along the way.
