In 1973, I bought my 1972 Beetle (I was in thhe air force) that looked EXACTLY like that one. I did not want the 1973 tail lights so I was happy to get the last 1972 on the lot, although “Klem” (his real name!) would only give me $50 off for last years model. But, I loved that car. Eventually, I went back to college and by that time, it needed constant work and I had no time for it and even less money, so I had to sell it. Very good to see that it found it’s way to you. I will be watching every single video as you bring my baby back to life.
You're a hoot young man. 51 years old....a mere child🤗! Happiest of Birthdays kind sir. 🎆 May you have many great years to come Jason. John here from the taptaptaptap back-roads of 💨taptaptap Northeastern Tennessee😁
51! No grey hair? Is your secret old VW motor oil combed in daily? Nice touch with the head bump for Jen. It's the little things that keep a wife happy! Another great video. Thanks!
Enjoy to continued beautiful weather. Snow be coming soon. Nice job finding all these relics. I gotta say i cant wait for the full timelapse on the paint stripping beetle.
Happy Birthday Jason 🎉🎉🎉. My super beetle ‘74 was timed BTDC I used a strobe light to fine tune it using the marks on the flywheel. I would do it with the vacuum pipe disconnected at 950 RPM idle. It ran and started sweet like that…but I had electronic ignition on it by that stage.
It doesn't sound good but it's life is still in there and i believe give that full life in that cutie beetle and i wish if that time come you will gave her to me just wishing it's not a crime wishing to have a beetle someday ☺️
I turned 51 in March. In Brazil there is a brand of cachaça that is the number 51. And the slogan of its advertising says: 51 ? Good idea ! Here in Brazil we joke that being alive at 51 is a great idea.... Congratulations.
Thx for the link! Yes, we look forward to your new presentations! Keeping YT going can be a “bear”! Unfortunately, we can’t appreciate all that is going on with you outside the channel
I'll give a good story! I bought a 78 Yamaha XT500 from a guy who bought it brand new, took it home n put two stroke fuel at 50to1 in it and fouled the plug! I paid 50 buck's for it because it sat in his yard for 6 yrs after that and he said it was blown! I took it home cleaned the carb and dumped the fuel and put regular gas in it and it fired on the first kick! The Damn thing was still like new, not even broken in yet! It had a three gallon tank full of premix that's all that was wrong with it! I rode it back to his house and showed it to him! He was so mad I thought he wasgoing to have a heart attack! 😁 I rode that bike for two yrs then sold it for 800 buck's! Best investment I've ever found!😆
Not a bad fix on getting it to run Jason . Should’ve just got your neighbour to tappy tap the condenser wire first 👍 always great content. Happy birthday m8
the timing you mentioned is for emissions and a vac type dist. With the mechanical you can go maybe 5 degrees advanced or 32 degrees total (at 3,000 rpm) if you have the right timing light.
Excellent video Jason :) getting that car up running too sounds need little work on motor to and running smooth like new Lol! Also Happy 51 Birthday Jason :) also hope you have excellent day with work plus families & friends to share surprises with you also wishes come true and many more years ahead to also wonderfull year ahead to! Best Wishes from me (Ontario Canada, friendship last lifetime and forever to also! Don't party to hard and enjoy weekend Celebration too!
Happy birthday big J. 🎉🎵 Good heavens, time runs! Did your 50th birthday really happen already 1 year ago? 2) Is the beautiful green American oldtimer pickup truck becoming your new tow rig? 3) The bug engine runs/sounds like shaking a bag of nuts... or let me better say like a bag of acorns. 😁😜😘 Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
Thank you CC , at least this one started quicker than that yellow thing marathon haha . The green for is for sale , I picked up a 1989 1 owner K3500 GMC 454 8 foot bed ext cab with under 60k miles .

The Be-Jesus or Be-Jabbies, great NE phrases most haven't heard.
Great stuff, off to channel two.
You must be living next door to LAWRENCE O’DONNEL’s studio crew…..”Stop the hammering, stop the F___ing hammering”. 😂

Great will it start video.
Q. I hope Dubwerks is paying the rent and power. 😋
Thank you , his rent is definitely going $UP$ 😆
@@5150mxVW glad I could help. 🤣
Happy Birthday. Why were only 1,000 of these beetles produced?
I believe it was the tail end of the production year and they were about to start the curved windshield version. They were basically a 1972 leftover.
HAHA! Air nailers on the roof, same shit I did for a few decades.
Great job as usual
Awesome work Jase. Living the dream my man. Looking forward to the vids.
thank you Matthew
I'm back have you looked at the spark plugs
I thought that “tapping was gunfire!
Yes it lives .I'd be getting a noise order on the pesky tradesmen and neighbour lol
I'm interested in buying that bug
Come get it. 2k
Nice
The engine isn't seized 👍
the engine is one of the last things to go.
