Great vid! My girlfriend bought her dream car, 1969 beetle 2 days ago. Sat since 1982. Gonna try and get her fired today! I’m 19 years old and I pray and hope to God in the future my son will end up just like your son. Good job for getting him into the car community at a young age! Gotta start em while there young! I’m also very new to beetles.. I have a ‘67 mustang as my car and I’m so used to that but VW is definitely new for me! your channel and how you explain your videos helped me a ton
@@5150mxVW Let Josh watch this vid from REVan Evan of someone leaving a cars and coffee meet up wrecking a cherry ford pickup. He'll be able to laugh at that some day.
I really love to see a dad and his boy working on stuff together! You are teaching him to one day be a man and bonding with him at the same time. Keep it up and please keep up the great video content - later!
Always remember to unhook power to the coil any length of time you're working on other things, and not trying to start it, or it's running, as if they sit and cook without, it can burst them. Can just turn off the jumper pack to do it as well, but it's a good habit to get into..as yes, we've all 'popped' a coil, even Mustie has in a video ;) But that motor is actually in pretty good shape, and should be a good one for whatever it's used for.
Josh’s comment was priceless! Good job getting it going, knew you could do it. The untrasonic cleaner is the ticket with old carbs, can’t be without one!
Nice systematic approach without all the clutter we find in so many "first start" videos out there. You obviously have some VW experience so got right to the heart of the issues, although I'm amazed you didn't bother with a compression test while the plugs were out. I thought you mentioned a valve adjustment somewhere, which is an often neglected task on these things. Overall, great video!
Thank you very much , I wanted to hear it run ....I can check it's health later , plus my comp tester was at the other garage . I appreciate the kind words 53'
Crazy, my first car a 74 super beetle duned out like this one was given to me when I was 6 in 88 same color and I'm getting a new one next week a 58😃 brought back memories when I saw this vid, happy tears 😊
How do you bypass the key so that you can jump start it? I will try to start up an old tricycle with this motor in it that hasn't started in 30 years. I put the key in and when I turned it nothing happened. Either the key mechanism is bad or the starter is stuck. But need to bypass the key to know what exactly is the problem
Nice brother! She's a runner. Great to see hear Josh. He's a delight to have on your adventures. It's going to be an awsome first car for he hehe... he doesn't sound too pumped for that.. great to see ya as always today.
Josh doesnt get enough credit for his input on his opinions. he needs a compensation plan. maybe a straight trade. he gives his input, and you compensate with Legos. If Josh needs representation on this matter. Give him my number. My legal department is at his disposal. I take pmt. in Legos. lol
Nice job getting the engine started. I don't have much luck trying to do that. Sounds like you will be adding to the fleet. Could you mention where you get some of your parts? I've gotten parts from CIP1, Midamerica Motorworks, and Wolfsburgwest.
Thank you 65 , keep at it , you'll get it , spark , fuel and timing👍. I have been using Cip1 lately , hard to beat free shipping AND the 30% off sales .
Jason, that was sweet.... the little solex that could. Soon Josh will be on pac customs, samba & j bugs catalog site. Baja's totally rock and gotta love a 1600 DP and link pin front end. Perfect platform for a build. Looking fwd too what you snagging this weekend.
Dear 5150mxVW Hmm... I could write respectively comment a lot (like always). :-) ;-) But the quintessential thing in this video is the great bond between you and that fantastic and cute little son of yours once again. Congrats to you both! Honestly: I wish I would've had a father like you and I wish that I have had a son like Josh! Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to you, your family and Mustie1! Postscriptum: LOL I simply couldn't resist to mention him ;-) :-) 2) When do we see your new oldest bus? Can hardly wait...
hey here is a small trick i’ve been using for years Walmart sells older style oil cans with a 5 or 6 inch nozzle on them and a trigger pump it’s excellent for squirting Marvel Mystery into a spark plug hole or any other crevice on a motor ! plus it’s handy to have around for lubricating whatever they are some brass looking metal and i’ve kept one in the bilge of my boat for over 15 years that sits in salt water enviorments the thing for a cheap tool has held up fine all those years ? it’s way easier than your funnel system i’m not sure what you paid for the old Baja but it’s cool that it runs with not much effort i’ve had some really good memories in air cooled VWs in my 55 years i bought a 72 really rusty and crusty one from a old co worker for a couple of hundred bucks and some used car tires i pulled off a used car as the guy i bought it from used it to get thru college and we all didn’t even think it would survive or make the 4 hour drive to or from his school i was shocked to see him 4 years later driving the car he knew i liked Bugs and asked if i knew anyone that wanted his when i picked it up my best freind drove it home on dead tags while i followed him and the car with a tow rope he backed it into the driveway so we had a little light from the garage to look into the engine bay the two of us laughed our asses off when we saw 2 spark plugs on their wires dangling out of the holes but the motor was still running and drove the car home from our buddies 4 hour drive from college ! when i asked the guy about the car he said i’m not sure why but it’s running slower than it used to i think the next day i went to look at the bug in the daylight and realized both those plugs were stripped so i went to a local VW repair shop and asked those guys if there was a solution to this when they asked me what Volkswagen i had they laughed because they knew that Bug before the guy went to college and couldn’t believe it was still going ! those guys sold me a heliopolis kit and told me how to use it i really had my doughts but went home and did what they told me and it worked ! it seemed to run better on 4 cylinders a few days later my Dad asked me if i knew of any decent used cars for sale around town for my younger sister to drive back and forth to community college which i did not yet i mentioned to him i had just bought the old Beetle and what i discovered so we ordered a Brazilian rebuild kit from our parts store for $110 dollars with all the gaskets new pistons and rings etc everyone told us that it was junk and we should only use German parts but we pulled the motor nothing more than a drill hone to smooth out the pistons and we put it all together with the parts in the kit and found the old girl running okay i wound up giving my sister the car and told her i’m not sure how long it will run but she used it for 4 years and still talks about her first car with love she did actually give it back to me 4 years later and i drove it to my friends house where we pulled the motor and over 35 years later that same motor is still running in another Beetle with all those Brazilian parts everyone said will never last ? my Old Man was a VW guy as he had purchased a 58 and a 63 brand new and drove them all over the place my Mom still remembers the 63 had a payment of fifty something dollars a month that they paid religiously no matter what and with 2 babies my Dad was a expert on tying things to the outside of that 63 like carriages ,play pens ,and whatever else she needed to travel around with us they lived in New York city and used to drive 100 miles to my grandparents home in the Catskills Mountains upstate New York she remembers my Dad putting two dollars into the gas tank and saying he thinks that’s enough to get them there she didn’t know how much was in the tank but it got them there she also said she used to get tired watching my father shifting to get up and down the hills ! and complaining about the defroster in the winter time as he fidgeted with the controls between the seats while driving i was born in 64 and i still remember riding in that car as a matter of fact we went to a drive in movie to see Herbie the Love Bug and i remember my Dad laughing hysterically at the movie
Craig , thank you so much for sharing the best story ever in my comments history . That is just an amazing story to read ! I have been on the look out for a classic / vintage oil can just like you mentioned . Thank you for tip and incredible story Craig👍
haha, yup , it just keeps me motivated to get better every day .....thank you , we routinely get destroyed but we have a young team vs 9-10 year olds ....big difference . Josh is 7 and holding his own , plays catcher too👍
Pretty cool old baja bug. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with this engine before putting it in the single cab as far as mechanical work, aesthetics, etc. Also can't wait to see what you're picking up. I was going to say this weekend but it's late Sunday now so it's already happened. lol. I'm a little late to the party on this video. Was at a Cub Scout camp all weekend with my girlfriend and her boys.
G'day! Right-on! That was quite Impressive! I too, enjoyed seeing father son... working together!! Plus! You can't beat a great sense of humor!! That really crack me up! "I think, Mustie needs to do some work on it first" Lol! 🤣 Cheers! 🛠✌🏼❤️
@@5150mxVW Your welcome! Thank you, too! Amen to that, you have a wonderful son! By the way... When a son said, that his ambition was to drive an army tank, his father said 'I won't stand in your way. Lol! 🤣✌🏼❤️
These old VWs are becoming scarce. The restorable survivors should be put back on the road. Not only the Beetles, but the buses and the Karman Ghias. I rarely see one of these anymore, but when I do, it always lifts my spirit.
"It's a runner!" .... [ may not be on all cylinder's yet, but one thing at a time, okay? ] Good to hear Josh's enthusiasm for the work ahead. A project like this will teach him that, as you say, doing it right the first time is well worth the effort.
@@5150mxVW ....Absolutely! That's how I learned ...but instead of a vw,it was an old 69' Ford Ranger/3 on th' tree...I hated that thang! At the time I did,hell I was 10,lol! I'd probably love it now though! But yeah,my dad used to let me drive the fire wood back to the house after spending all day in the woods,that's all we used it for. That,and hauling the garbage off,sometimes I'd pitch a fit cause I didn't want to,but I'm glad I was made to do so...hell,my dad probably didn't enjoy it either,lol! Good times!🤘
For carbs that bad, I’ll usually use my baking soda blaster before the ultrasonic cleaner. They normally come out looking like new. And I just use plain water with some Simple Green HD mixed in. Doesn’t discolor aluminum carb bodies and a jug of it lasts for a very long time. Don’t use regular Simple Green. It can discolor some carb bodies.
Jason, I got my cheap handheld blaster from Horror Fright. And you can get a big bag of Arm & Hammer at Sam’s Club. It also works great for cleaning spark plugs. I blast them and toss them in the cleaner. The best part is that any leftover baking soda simply dissolves in the water.
We had about 5 inches of snow a day or so ago. The 67, 007 is in the garage for the winter. I am thinking about putting it up on jack stands put the cover on it and hunker down until spring!
5150mxVW Yes, But the snow is gone for now. But it is in the high 20s low 30s almost every night so it could snow at any time. Don’t drive it in the rain either. It’s ready to pull out of the garage and drive. If I know it is going to be nice outside I will take it out. It’s completely rust free and want to keep it that way.
Hey boss so I got a question for your since you seem to be a pro. How do I figure out what your my Volkswagen bug is? Somebody told me as a 73 when I bought it but I know it's not. I think it's a 64 but not sure
Hi Billy , I am no pro but check the vin # on the tunnel under the rear seat and also the body tag by spare tire or inner front fender well . Check to see both vins match and if you wish reply back with the vin # leaving that last # off I can check it for you ....or you could do a vin check yourself on the samba website .
The biggest difference, if it hasn't been changed, the 64 is a 6 volt and the 73 is a 12 volt. The 73 has a longer nose (hood). The 63 has the spare upright and I believe the 73 the spare is layer flat.
@@5150mxVW no I just use carb cleaner without it Maybe because it is warmer here it works better. I use plain carb cleaner and get good results just twisting the strainer around a bit then letting it sit for about 10 minutes one more twist then 10 more minutes then pull it out hit it with some carb spray in a couple places and its clean.
Ain't oil flammable? I think the cleaner will work a lot better with the heater on. There's some law where every 10c of heating makes a cleaner X more effective or efficient.

He says Mustie needs to work on it. What kind of glue will you be using to put your broken heart back together? Hahahaaa. The kid is too funny though.

I'm sure ProjectFarm can determine the best bonding material for a broken heart.
Always remember to unhook power to the coil any length of time you're working on other things, and not trying to start it, or it's running, as if they sit and cook without, it can burst them.

@@5150mxVW ....Absolutely! That's how I learned ...but instead of a vw,it was an old 69' Ford Ranger/3 on th' tree...I hated that thang! At the time I did,hell I was 10,lol! I'd probably love it now though! But yeah,my dad used to let me drive the fire wood back to the house after spending all day in the woods,that's all we used it for. That,and hauling the garbage off,sometimes I'd pitch a fit cause I didn't want to,but I'm glad I was made to do so...hell,my dad probably didn't enjoy it either,lol! Good times!🤘

haha , not the 1st time , thank you John
I enjoyed the conversation you had with Josh about his first car. Awesome video. Keep em coming bud
Thank you John , much appreciated
Josh's Opinion always counts the most to me
👍
For carbs that bad, I’ll usually use my baking soda blaster before the ultrasonic cleaner. They normally come out looking like new. And I just use plain water with some Simple Green HD mixed in. Doesn’t discolor aluminum carb bodies and a jug of it lasts for a very long time. Don’t use regular Simple Green. It can discolor some carb bodies.
baking soda blasters are sweet . I have not tried the HD simple green yet but I have discolored an Mx carb with the regular stuff . Thank you John
Jason, I got my cheap handheld blaster from Horror Fright. And you can get a big bag of Arm & Hammer at Sam’s Club. It also works great for cleaning spark plugs. I blast them and toss them in the cleaner. The best part is that any leftover baking soda simply dissolves in the water.
I want Mustie to work on my car :) love that young man
haha , smart kid , thank you GJ
Josh is a rockstar and very smart!
Thank you Ralph , but he hasn't touched his Strat in months
second that sharp kid
We had about 5 inches of snow a day or so ago. The 67, 007 is in the garage for the winter. I am thinking about putting it up on jack stands put the cover on it and hunker down until spring!
What ???? SNOW , 5 " already !!!????
5150mxVW Yes, But the snow is gone for now. But it is in the high 20s low 30s almost every night so it could snow at any time. Don’t drive it in the rain either. It’s ready to pull out of the garage and drive. If I know it is going to be nice outside I will take it out. It’s completely rust free and want to keep it that way.
Good "start" to a solid project to be shared with your son
thank you David👍
Hey boss so I got a question for your since you seem to be a pro. How do I figure out what your my Volkswagen bug is? Somebody told me as a 73 when I bought it but I know it's not. I think it's a 64 but not sure
Hi Billy , I am no pro but check the vin # on the tunnel under the rear seat and also the body tag by spare tire or inner front fender well . Check to see both vins match and if you wish reply back with the vin # leaving that last # off I can check it for you ....or you could do a vin check yourself on the samba website .
The biggest difference, if it hasn't been changed, the 64 is a 6 volt and the 73 is a 12 volt. The 73 has a longer nose (hood). The 63 has the spare upright and I believe the 73 the spare is layer flat.
She’s a runner!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
:) , thank you👍
Aw man, he's a little ballbuster! Got to get Mustie to look at it!
haha, yep
love to see a good ending to a great story, thanks
thank you Brian
gotta get me one of those cleaners for the LB still rolling.
you don't have one ?
@@5150mxVW no I just use carb cleaner without it Maybe because it is warmer here it works better. I use plain carb cleaner and get good results just twisting the strainer around a bit then letting it sit for about 10 minutes one more twist then 10 more minutes then pull it out hit it with some carb spray in a couple places and its clean.
It's a runner :)
👍
Well done getting another engine resurrected.
thank you RR👍
Good work a follower from Benghazi libya🇱🇾
Was that just water in the ultrasonic bath? Or a solvent too?
an unnamed solvent that I would not apply too much heat too
are you trailering m something to the show tomorrow? is that a 6 volt starter in the bug ? she spins fasssst!
my cars have a better shot at making it vs my trailer haha ....sounds like it to me too ...I love 6v starters in 12v cars👍
gotta love a childs honesty mustie 1 has some work to do love it
haha , and smarts :)
Bugs are so much when they sputter back to life!!!; )
:) I agree👍 , thank you Richard
Can you PLEASE make a video on how to wire a remote starter for a VW bug/ghia? I bought one at a yard sale for a dollar but don’t know how to wire it.
Fil , did you get the push button two wire / clip style ?
5150mxVW yes. 2 alligator clips on a red button handle.
Fil Mart one clip goes on the stud that the battery cable attaches to . The other goes on the #50 / ignition wire post .
Good job! Would love to get a project car with my kids one day.
Stuart Hughes thank you , I hope you do , it’s good stuff :)
Ain't oil flammable?
I think the cleaner will work a lot better with the heater on. There's some law where every 10c of heating makes a cleaner X more effective or efficient.
Hi , I had the heat on but around 30 c if I recall , I didn't want to go too warm with the solvent . Thank you for the tip👍
"I think Mustie needs to do some work on it first" LOL!
RON BUTLER haha , yep 👍, My son is smart what can I say :)
very smart kid ,eh?
