The next video on this quirky car will be a first start / will it run. Followed by a first drive video hopefully in the snow :). Thank you Guys for dropping in!

Get to the Blower! Nice find! Well Happy Birthday to you then!
Happy birthday there 🎉🎉🎉
Now you have a thing LOL. I love these vehicles you don't see them very often at all anymore.
i served in Germany in the early 70s, and this was their answer to the jeep.
Baseball? That explains the mullet. Ha! No slow motion leaf blower shots? Kudos Jay! Thanks for the coffee entertainment.
Happy Birthday Jason!!! Ive never seen a "VW Thing" in real life.
Based off the German WW2 military Kubelwagon
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jason. A green and white Thing, awesome
Things are RAD!!! Great find!
Happy Birthday!
Eat lots of cake!
Leave the leafs on it, especially the one on the roof. 🤣😂🤣🍀
Great job rescuing those VWs, dude, finding homes for them and/or repairing them. Keep it up! And, of course, happy birthday!
The Hard top is neat! 👀 From 🏴
Jason is on a rescue. 3 stripe track pants - check. Winch battery unbelievably charged for once - check. Mousage - check. And as my kids said when they were young "Happy to you cake".
Every time one of your videos comes up, I wonder what the heck you have found and dragged home now. I am never disappointed. 😊
Happy Birthday Jay! Nice present you got yourself there!
I have a soft spot for Things. We road tripped one with the doors off and windshield down in the early 90's. Spending 10 or so hours on the road is pretty fun for the first 20 minutes. The rest is just because we were young and dumb. I can't believe our asses survived long enough to get old.
Happy Birthday from Lincoln Nebraska. Have a great weekend.
I pulled home one in similar condition recently here in NC during hurricane Ophelia. Fun. Was using a tow bar and lost a wheel 100 miles from home. More fun. Never been more wet. Lol. Good news is I had a couple inches of water in it which means the pans are there. 😂
Nice to let your Thing Hang Out in New England !!!; )
thank you for the birthday gift Richard, don't tell Jen, she'll make me buy the 1st round :)
I love it … let us see you get it started please… Happy Birthday Brother !!!!!
Congratulations on your birthday. It is mine too. So it's something we share. And we love VW's, off course!
You had me at Foghat!
Happy solar revolution! Nice find, looks to be a decent old Thing!
Happy Birthday, You got a nice looking Type 181 there.
Happy Birthday Jason!
Fuel brakes and go🎉magnificent 👌 👏 🙌 video thanks for your time and super great time 😀 👍
Happy Birthday 🎉
I love your show. very Nice VW thing. the Pantina in the window are great the wight fog around the window edge takes a while to show up. I love it.
thank you for the kind words , more soon
I had a Thing in the early 90's. Cruising around town with the doors off and top down was way too much fun. Got stopped one time, but the cop mostly wanted to check out the car. We had seat belts and eye protection, so it was OK. The windshield wipers even work with the windshield folded. The state law at the time required working wipers, but only eye protection if no windshield.
That’s too nice… don’t sell it to dubs, sell it to Taylor 😂
Your videos are so real I love it. I hope you had a great birthday.
Happy Birthday - I'm sure that mouse will be much happier living in your house...
A SLOW RIDE indeed!!!
Happy Birthday, enjoy watching all the difficulties we go through bringing back these ol machines! Something fun to watch while putting together a parts list to try and fix a few dubs!
Cool! I’ve always loved those things!😬
Happy birthday, bro! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Arrrggghhh!!! These NEW cars... (1973 LOL!)
A Thing, International Scout, Jeep .... That's a great yard.
Happy birthday dude!
Love the vid! Nothing new there, haha. Excited to see a Thing on the channel! Happy Birthday, Jason!
Fog hat! Sloooow ride!🤘
Happy birthday Raddest duder!! Things are the most fun you can have in a VW!! I have an orange 73 I'll never sell it!!
PS: I've had my thing on the highway with the windshield down! What a blast!! Haha
thank you Chris, man you have some sweet Vw's !
@@5150mxVW I'm just a goofball dude who has been obsessed with VWs since I was a little kid! Got my first in 92, I've got a decent little collection! I've got about 14, from an oval to a sterling kit car! I would have more but the county Sends me letters!! Haha dude if you ever come to ohio hit me up! And if my band ever comes up NE doing road gigs I will definitely hit you up! You kick ass man!! You are the only person I follow on YT!! Keep up the Rad work!! EVH Rules!!!!! Hahaha
I'd get it running & driving then worry about the floorpan, it's not a classic vw if it doesn't need a floor pan, haha. Those are so hard to find, good luck.
That Thing is pretty cool, and I'm sure you'll get it running before the snow flies. While you're at it, why not rescue the Scout? Just for a change of pace, lol! Happy birthday, hope you get all you wish for!👍
Happy birthday Jason!!
What a score. A thing, a Foghat tape and what looks like a quasi Hurst shift handle. The perfect platform for the Carl Spackler school of auto detailing. HB.
Like i said before" i dont know how you find all these VWs. Hats off to you my friend. Another great rescue.
Take care, Stay safe my friend.
Happy birthday beautiful
,,,,,DoooooooooD....any car that used to play foghat,,,is fire,,.cool vid..tnx,pat &family..land o' lakes,wi.......send it.😮
Happy Thingday !👽
Nice find with this one, and happy birthday to you!
Happy Birthday old man!
Thank you . I’m finally feeling 52 and not 92 like I have been for years !
Dear 5150mxVW.
Happy birthday! 🎂
👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for purchasing this vehicle. I totally like the VW 181 (nicknamed "Kübel" in Germany). Like you I'm glad that you own one without these big ugly air scoops and fortunately you have the auxiliary heater. I really hope and almost pray that you remove those big ugly elephant foot rear lights. Hope you go with the original European design and use rear lights from the VW bus. It needs quite a bit work to modify the rear body panel. But it looks so much better/cleaner.
Of course I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Awesome! Happy birthday! What a present!🙌
looks like a good engine
Happy Birthday man 👍🏻🤙🏻
The vision is always different with her top off!!
Hello from Detroit, I'm selling my hotrod and buying a old vw, love the Chanel

Happy Birthday Buddy
Great video mate
Back in the woods! Yay! 🎉 But, Jason! I’ve been holding my breath while waiting to hear whether the ’58 has semaphores or not, and, darn it, just like my mother warned me, my face is turning blue! Haaaaaalp meeeee! 😂😂😂😂😂
Very cool car Jason. Happy Birthday :)
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday. That’ll be a fun thing to drive about in. Much better with the top off
Happy Birthday Bugman 😊👍
Thank you Will, man , I was just thinking today how many years you’ve been here . Long time my friend , thank you
Wild Thing I think I love you, but I wanna know for sure! 🤪
"Get your Thing going down the road!" Great tattoo idea.

Happy birthday, late 🎉 wish I got a Thing for mine 😁 like that color, but know it's a changing.
Following...I hope this comes out nice... aways had a soft spot for these... owned one in the early 70' s miss that THING
nice, it's on the lift and we filmed a first start vid on it ...found some fenders, rims and tires and a roll bar as well .
Happy birthday 🎉, it never gets old watching you investigate these cars and develop the "vision " 👍👍👍.
Have a beer tonight , have one for me while I'm working lol.
Happy Birthday Jay. My 65 had one of those gas heaters in it. It scared me, because it wouldn't light all the time. I took it out.
Happy birthday from another Thing owner, located in Norway! Love your posts, hope to see more videos of the 181!
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉
She’s a little crusty! Mine was worse. Good luck! ❤️😎
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON! I remember those things. Mainly because I slammed into one with the wife's nova years ago. Replacing the exhaust was very simple. Thankfully, that was the only damage. Nice find once again. Keep the rescues coming man.
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!
thank you Rick
Another great find you really are living the dream. Happy birthday
