Those linkages are always so dang finicky!

They make an extension piece for the end of the cable. Easier than messing with your linkage.

This duel carburetor stuff is way over my head. You the man.

Thanks for sharing, it took 6.5 years to get our 61 kombi back on the road. Still a bunch of little things to do. We logged 2k plus miles so far

Drill some holes for seat brackets and use self tapping 10 mm bolts.

Thank you for the close up on the 63 bug, I have a 62, same but it is in winter storage now....

Why coast out like that ? oh, you must be married. When is the next show ?

Where I live you must have lap/sash seat belts so getting the bottom of the seat out is made more difficult. Nothing I can do but squash to side trim cards each time and because the battery is under there I have had to do it often. (70 model Notch)

So basically a Fastback and Notchback use the same back seat, and the body structure behind it. And your seat back is probably a later 70 and up piece. Earlier ones use the single mounting tab that is on your body.

Can't imagine this video didn't help Jeramy. It looks like he snagged a very nice Type 3. What kind of camera do you use to video with?

My man!! This helped way way more than you think. ‘Preciate you digging into this for me. Not only did it help with my rear seat setup, but it also helped with where all the holes are for the clips that hold the panels above the arm rest! As you may know, EVERYTHING is covered with Kilmat on mine. I’ll def be taking screenshots haha. Thank you, brother

This is really informative! I just bought an armrest backseat for my notchback too and am yet to dive into it like such!

Cool bus! I think the color is "Turkis"? I just picked up one just like it, but its got a smaller rear window (maybe its a '61 or '62?, gotta look at the title). He was asking a hundred bucks for it, so hard to turn it up. Put an air filter on that bus, dude, save the motor! ✌️ 🚌

Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year !

Glad gary got it's driving I've got to get my bus done wait on a 944 front caliper then should be ready for show season gary one of the most honest and great bros I've met since I moved here from Socal 4yrs ago I definitely love our vdub community here in the ozarks😊

Great video 😊 I drove my '67 bus for over twenty years. When I sold it my daughter cried - so I found and restored a '58 bus. Subscribed to your channel 👍

Love that you captured my dad's voice and his story. This is special.

Great video! Awesome bus! Are you able to provide more information on the rubber wheel used to remove the stickers? Thinking that may be a good tool to help remove the old glue from my firewall tar board I removed.

This was a great story to hear as I'm a Springfieldian! Its nice to Know that this beauty came from Steve at ROY ROGERS (our old VW parts place ). I'm sad he is gone now. I hope to see this beauty while cruising around in my 71 bay 7 passenger deluxe bus. or my 66 sea blue beetle! Thanks for the story!

That was cool! thanks for sharing another Vw enthusiast, Gary is really enjoying his Split bus. He's doing a great job putting it together and loving at the same time! 👍

There's nothing like driving a split window bus. Even a baywindow is a unique experience! If you're ever passing through OK and want to drive another let me know!

id love to drive one some day

What an awesome Bus man! Certainly an honor to drive it

Great video David! It was my pleasure to give you the experience of driving your first VW bus. Looking forward to seeing you around the shows in 2025 and beyond. Please keep posting your wonderfully entertaining and informative videos.

I love seeing what that lot has in inventory. It’s the perfect combo of classic Ford trucks and VW’s.

Great video, great narration. I love your passion for the vw, I’m the same way, I’ve owned and worked on these since the 70s, I think vw owners are a different breed, I dream about them, I’m 69 and still loving it. Currently working on a 69 ghia, ghias are my choice! Keep up the great work my friend 😎

As the owner of a 70 Notch (full auto) I approve of this message. Even though I'm in another hemisphere.

nice job great contrast

Your thorough work paid off! I like the grease on the boot end idea. Not sure why I hadn't thought of that.

This is great, bro. You did a ton of work in the short amount of time you had. Good idea installing the entire assembly (engine/trans/subframe) all together at the same time instead of piece by piece. That crate you made helped I’m sure

Great content! Knowledge is king! You are just like me you want to get right to the core of what makes everything tick, Because we want to fix it ourselves, Because we know we can! People do not understand the difference in the word knowledge and wisdom! Showed wisdom in this video, and I like that! Good job, and great video! Keep them coming!

Welding, hammering and dollying! Thats exciting!!

Thermostats are contested like oil type but I am becoming a thermostat advocate. There are some really nice thermostats available now so having to find and trust a used one isn't necessary. With all the great work you did to restore the tin to its original shape and function for sealing in the air, not to mention all your carb work etc, get you a thermostat to make it all function proper. Just one guy's opinion.

Wow bro, you really have been putting in work! Take advantage while you can, right? Haha. When I did my rebuilds, I would buy my hardware in separate batches. I didn’t think to buy a pack of a hundred until now. I probably spent hundreds in hardware alone at this point. Ps, my cats name is Goober.

Another great video David. Love watching your progress.

Try using a higher ohm coil , you don’t have high compression so why have the lowest ohm coil to trade reliability for no benefit….any Mallory points or electronic or olunite would be better….even a prestolite is better but parts scarce

You had 2 separate issues…The primary cause for the burnt secondary coil wire was improper connection , this is a common error with these female style terminals, you must push the wire completely first and perhaps spread the wire end a bit for a tight connection then slide the boot down ,anyway the poor distributor ground which although is attached to the coil negative doesn’t ground the coil but only the module so definitely was flaking out tbe module but perhaps only exacerbated the coil which was already handicapped by loose wire connection

I had to retire the one man motor lift a few years back. I'm not as young and dumb as I once was.

I do my best to keep up with your videos. As always another great one. I learn something on every one of them.

Great work doing tearing it down! It’s always good to inspect and do your own investigations. Also, when I saw you start to lift up that engine by yourself, I almost fell out of my seat yelling “YOUR BACK!!!” Wish I had an extra pair of helping hands from my son. The problem is, he’s a cat. Haha

Im excited for when the body work starts

Great information, I like that you use the old books rather than internet information

Running great! Time to take it apart! That sounds spot on. Congrats to your son. It's great to hear about the next generation excelling in tech.

You know as I watch this video, it's not been that long ago you and your buddy traveled to the west coast to buy this VW. Then to top it off, you guys proceeded to drive it home to Arkansas! I know it's really been a fun journey for you. What memories you will always have from this experience. Can't buy that stuff with money.

That's a great idle! The in depth, detailed carb tune paid off for sure.

As always another great informative video!

Hello, what chemical are you using to clean? What car is it out from? I have a 2019 VW tiguan, replaced the battery but still have issues turning over.

I’ll keep an eye out! I’m here in central Arkansas and I’ll see what I can find!

0:08 my mind instantly went to "for parts"

i have an 05 Saabaru that i love. the 2005 Saab 9-2x Aero with a 5spd
