    I’m an old man now. My Wife gave us 6 sons. Things such as old cars came and went but the joy of doing things together filled my heart with memories that carried me through hard times and sorrows. Whenever we get together the boys always have a session of,remember when?, the man in this video is a great Dad. In the end no success in life will ever overshadow that.

    Step away Mustie1 there is a new team in town, well done. I love this video, we all needed it to help us through these crazy time . My parents divorce when i was three. I did not know my dad until my late teens. He was a great guy. He died young from cancer back when my son was three years old. He told me to find something we both enjoy, create moments for him and I and provide him a life time of father/son memories. That same year when he died i got my son his 1978 beetle and he is 31 & this summer we have big plans up dating his 1978 beetle. I love seeing you and Josh working together, there no greater gift a father can give his son.

That guy rode it come hell or high water, snow, whatever. It was all he had. Later on, I rode my 500 yammer year round, it was all I had. I even rode it through a snow storm with two feet of snow on the roads.

    Dear 5150mxVW & son.
    👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Awesome troubleshooting, Congrats! You seem to become a second Mustie1 = a kind of Mustie2 (if it's allowed to say).
    Sooo good to see you both in good health. I'm really excited that great little petrolhead Josh is helping you again. Fortunately those (weird/strange/crazy) new RUclips restrictions didn't bother the father and son fun team at all. Congrats again!
    I once (30 years ago... good grief... sigh) had a similar problem with a distributor. I needed one for a type 181 but they sold me one with a wrong alignment.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and health to/for your family, friends and relatives.

      @@DubWerks when it had a non original distributor on it, that should have been a clue. that's one of the first things you check, just turn it the 180 even if you don't think that's the problem. As you know, even very experienced mechanics can make that mistake. Hell I've made it a few times, though I'm not much of a mechanic and don't claim to be. That's why I love original vW's the mechanics are relatively easy in most cases.

    Great work dude these Vee Dub motors are so easy and simple to work on doesn't matter how long they've been laid up with a bit of this and that you can usually have them running again in no time at all. My stepdaughter has a Vee dub Bay window camper she has it M.O.Teed every year then just leaves it sat on the car park I've got it running again for her on at least four occasions after she's just let it stand. It's now in a real sorry state it needs a real good wash a damned good T cut n polish all four tyres pumping up and gettin running ... again, it's absolutely stupid I've told her to just sell it but she won't listen.

    WoW !!! That brings back a lot of memories dude when me & my brother would haul old VWs home and got them running like you did . That's awsum ! Hi 5 to you especially for spending quality time with your kid and teaching him valuable life lessons in this regard . Unlike so many that let a computer or cell phone be their babysitter so they can just sit back , drink beer and watch football and not take this sort of quality time with their kid & that's so sad . Good on you for being a dad . Keep it up ... your kid will thankyou ! :) Take care and God bless you ........

    Worked on VW for years and I know you can't just spin the distributor because the drive is offset. I'm amazed you didn't show the trick on pulling the gear to put it in the right place. Matter of fact, I'm wondering how it got in the wrong place. Do we know the history of the car?
