My boys are avid watchers because you show where things can go wrong and how to prevent or deal with them - PLEASE keep theese in your vids, they are what makes them so original and useful to 16 year olds wanting to learn 👍👍.. Gives me a chance to stay one step ahear as well :)
Dear Darren. I've been following you for quite some time now and it just occurred to me that I admire the perpetual relentless enthusiasm with which you continuously dive unwaveringly into the next project, and the next and the next. Sure appreciate you.
I think one of the reasons so many of us love your videos is that you do show all your trials and tribulations you keep it real. It is not just a staged video showing everything coming out perfect. Also, you have dabbled with product placement a little bit years past but for the most part you don't purposely endorse products that you may or may not use. Sure you may show the company you bought the car lift from etcetera but you're not holding up a can of spray lubricant every 5 Seconds telling us how wonderful it is.
That turned out to be in really good shape for as long as it sat. Great find! After all these years of watching the channel I still look forward to Sunday morning Mustie time. Thanks!
I want to thank you deeply. I went way out of my comfort zone to repair a rototiller from the 70’s. I got it running! It is a beast compared to today’s stuff.
jay - Ya, same here. I started going to the local small engine repair shop and getting their throw-aways for free. $700 Honda lawn mower, pressure washer, leaf chipper, generator, several engines ALL FOR FREE. Labor was too expensive so customers simply bought new. And I learned how from Mustie1 during the pandemic.
Yes, that’s why I watch, you always show the whole process, good and bad. It’s real life, like most projects I have done, they don’t always go to plan . Keep up the great work, that is a great little car.
I am glad that you also show the pitfalls that you fall into. Over the years I have found that whenever I do a project, there is always something that happens that you don't expect. You do your best to plan for issues that may come up and then just hope for the best. This holds true no matter what project you are doing whether it's a car project or a home repair. You hope for the best, plan for the worst and deal with whatever comes in the middle.
I don't plan on restoring any Volkswagens, but I enjoy how you solve problems...so showing the problems and mistakes is good. What we have to do when things go wrong, is when we learn!
Just started watching this morning's video and ... WAIT A MINUTE! What's that little red race car over there in the corner? Go back! Go back! What is that? Fiat? Alfa? Damn. Oh wait - looks like an old Datsun Z. I hope that one is coming up in the rotation before too long!
Speaking of things to like in your videos, I’ve never heard you say “like and subscribe” I really appreciate your knowledge I remember years ago purchasing a chipper shredder actually being able to check and start it with the knowledge I gained from your videos. Thanks!
It's really awesome watching you methodically go through all the systems and bring everything back to life. Really nice job on getting the old VW back up and running from sitting so long in storage, I enjoy learning from your videos all the time. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us.
This video brings back alot of fond memories working on my old 1971 super Beatle bug.And one day on the way home from school the spline let go on one brake drum.
I just love the sound of those things. Especially when you hear that "whistle" through the exhaust? I describe it as a whistle, that high pitch noise. Love it.
Good Sunday morning Mr. Mustie! Glad to see progress on this ol' VW! I still look forward to Sunday mornings and a new Mustie video after all these years of watching!
You can install a Glass fuel bowl. IT traps everything and allows you to see it. Easy to empty as well. Keeps it all out of your carb. Stens Filter Bowl Assembly 120-030. Worth every penny.
Growing up I used to watch Shade Tree Mechanic every Sunday with my dad after breakfast and then we would go work on stuff around the house. Now he's gone but I get nostalgic watching Mustie work on cars and it brings me back to being a kid again.
Another great start to a Sunday morning. Over the last few years of watching your videos, I have learned patience is the most important part of wrenching on these older vehicles. Not sure about that MGB GT in your shop, but looking forward to any videos on repairing that. I have had a 1969 MGB GT that is rust free and really only have issues with the SU carbs if it sits for too long. Other than that, not a bad little car. I thought British cars were a PITA ,( former Rover 3500s owner), until I purchased an Italian car. Perspective changed after that. I was glad to go back to British. Happy wrenching from Canada. Now that I am inspired for the day, I am heading out to the garage to rewire a utility trailer.
The very last VW I ever owned was a 1971 Square Back Sedan with the Bosch electronic fuel injection. I had one of the fuel injector lines pop when I was sitting and idling but it immediately caught on fire and shutting the key off didn't shut off the electric fuel pump so it kept feeding the fire. The magnesium alloy engine case even started on fire and that made quite a blaze by itself. The Fire department was only about two blocks away and they had a heck of a time getting the magnesium fire put out. I learned then that never trust ten year old fuel lines with the higher pressure ( about 30 psi ) because they get brittle.
What great fun it would be to have a neighbor like you. Assuming that I was allowed to come over and play of course. Vdubs are clever, simple and ingenious. But my daughter had a 73sb as her first car and in tech school I had a 67 VW Squareback and having had two, I've had my ration. But they still make a great video. You make a great video.
I love your patience, I do a little wrenching, not a mechanic by trade but loose it when you start something that you think is easy but you have to pull a bunch of other stuff off to get at what you want to fix.
As much as the fuel system was varnished , one might assume the inside of the fuel pump is the same. Yep, you just opened it up as I was writing this. 😂
My Dads favorite car was the VW Beetle.I remember riding around in it as a kid.Its funny the name of that brake pad adjustable screw is called a not see nut..lol.I was laughing at the Taryl Fixes All mug you were using.
I really hope you paid the guy you bought this from a fair price. This thing is complete and super clean. Whoopty-do it's got a little Dent on one side
Hi D. Another great restoration!! I really enjoyed you showing the brake turning machine and the slow motion!! It was awesome!! Love seeing you bring back the old stuff. I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos!! You have one of the best channels on RUclips!! Hope you have a great week!!😊😊😊 Darren
I love the videos exactly how they are, mishaps and mistakes included. The reason I say this is because someone restoring the same machine may run into the same issue and if noone shows it happened to them and doesn't upload it they may feel disheartened and give up, however they see a video with a solution they will fix it and keep going.
There are very few "rehab" creators where I watch the whole video. Even though I don't work on anything vw, I have learned from the master of making crusty stuff run and have been able to get my equipment back up and running. The conversion with the wife usually goes, "do you know what you're doing?" Me " yup I saw it on a Mustie1 YT video."
As I sat and watched this video and the struggles with drum brakes, I kept wondering if there is a high quality disc brake replacement out there (at least for the front wheels)? Seems like it may be a worthwhile investment if you intend to actually drive it.
I had a 71 type 3 fastback same color blue , in 1975 if I pulled the e brake the drums would not release and I had to crawl under it to turn the shelf adjusters Fortunately I lived in a flat neighborhood and I had mastered driving a stick shift car I had a dog a shelty that hated the sound of air cooled Volkswagen he would bark and go crazy whenever it passed him
The lamps will always flicker if they are on anything but the highest setting. That's because they use PWM for brightness - the LEDs are always at their brightest, but they are pulsed ON for less of the frequency cycle to make them dimmer.

Honesty and integrity.

After all these years of watching the channel I still look forward to Sunday morning Mustie time.
Thanks!
Thought the same thing about its over all shape.

A new Mustie1 VW video for a glorious Sunday morning... The best start to any day is watching Mustie1 working on a VW....

Seeing you do these videos like were there showing it as it is is the reason I so can enjoy it being an old wrench
Speaking of things to like in your videos, I’ve never heard you say “like and subscribe” I really appreciate your knowledge I remember years ago purchasing a chipper shredder actually being able to check and start it with the knowledge I gained from your videos. Thanks!
Good morning everyone!
You totally nailed it again! Keep it up.
I miss the waterfalls at the end.

Sometimes I think I know so much abouts bugs from watching this show, I think I should buy one . Amazing.
This video brings back alot of fond memories working on my old 1971 super Beatle bug.And one day on the way home from school the spline let go on one brake drum.

Good Sunday morning Mr. Mustie! Glad to see progress on this ol' VW! I still look forward to Sunday mornings and a new Mustie video after all these years of watching!
Good afternoon Lincolnshire, UK. It's very good to hear from you!
Beautiful Bug!
I love this man
We all do I hope he realizes how much .
He's like an old friend you've never met 😂
Good morning from MI.
Lots of patience and knowing that problems will arise, and will have to be fixed, is all part of working on something like this project.
You can install a Glass fuel bowl. IT traps everything and allows you to see it. Easy to empty as well. Keeps it all out of your carb. Stens Filter Bowl Assembly 120-030. Worth every penny.
What a great project, love seeing this brought back. Looks so much better with the top down, IMO ! I learn something every video, so thanks again !
Thumbs up from Mississippi
Growing up I used to watch Shade Tree Mechanic every Sunday with my dad after breakfast and then we would go work on stuff around the house. Now he's gone but I get nostalgic watching Mustie work on cars and it brings me back to being a kid again.
Good morning from Michigan my friend
My 66 beetle, appreciates this.
Little gem ! Running survivor..I'd keep it,she's in excellent shape 👍
You did good on that resurrection of that VW. Looks in pretty good shape for as old as it is
This is a two bathroom break length Mustie video. And we all watched every minute of it.
Beautiful
Good ole Mustie driftin her on the ole dirt track ....love it bud!!!
I hope the original owner sees the video. Great job again as always 👍
Learning for my dad's 73 SB on my lift. Thanks sir.

Ball joint on the steering is toast also would suggest you check that just for safety
Great job! Coming right along!
I loved your idea of the iv stand to hold the fuel tank. So I got one.
The very last VW I ever owned was a 1971 Square Back Sedan with the Bosch electronic fuel injection.

Well done Mustie the brake drum lathe was facinating how you know how to do all this is pretty amazing best regards Andy Allen.
Just beautiful little thing
It would be fun to have
Good Morning
that car is comming out nice , good job again ,
As much as the fuel system was varnished , one might assume the inside of the fuel pump is the same. Yep, you just opened it up as I was writing this. 😂
Good afternoon fellow Mustie1 fans everywhere, from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧.
Good morning from Connecticut
Good morning from South Florida!!
Man you get in quick!
Sithee lad 😊
Good morning from South Texas
Drive past my house in that thing, 10 fingers on the fender boy this is my road Nice Bug
My man came out of the jacket pulling that drum 😂
My Dads favorite car was the VW Beetle.I remember riding around in it as a kid.Its funny the name of that brake pad adjustable screw is called a not see nut..lol.I was laughing at the Taryl Fixes All mug you were using.
Glad you edit out all your mistakes, otherwise the video would be a lot longer.😂
Keep doing what you do Dharren 👍
Nothing better than watching Mustic wrench on old VDubs on a Sunday morning 🙂
Dad use to whip a wrench across the shop once in awhile 😅
I really hope you paid the guy you bought this from a fair price. This thing is complete and super clean. Whoopty-do it's got a little Dent on one side
Thank you sir

The motor runs amazingly smoothly for a Mustie VW.engine.
Sounds good, brother
HEY! Good morning Mustie1 fans!
Good morning to you too Richard 😊

Ooooo, that loose sleeve next to the pulley...
Sunday afternoon and the familiar Beetle sound with Mustie1
Heck yea
Thank you for sharing.👍
Coulda been first, but I was making coffee....and what's life without coffee? 😉
The tires remind me of the old morning drives before radial tires.
great video mustie as all ways hi from Romsey in the uk
That's a nice looking bug
Even 5150 looks to Darren for advice . Mustie is the VW guy .
Mustie1 speaks the international language- VolksWagen!
I was thinking Mustie, a cool, long project would be the process of putting a fiberglass dune buggy together. Just a thought.
Yeah Toppless Mustie!!!😅
I'm in the market for one. I'll buy it!!
😂😅 ready for Darren Chuckle's
Black gold...Texas Tea
Ah,bring it on mustie,Surrey uk
I thought you were going to take the Super off some sweet jumps at the end....nice drift though :)
Hello from France
so cool makes me want one
Hi Mustie 1 Great Work ,Neil from Wales UK ,ps the Welsh love you more than Sheep lol
As I sat and watched this video and the struggles with drum brakes, I kept wondering if there is a high quality disc brake replacement out there (at least for the front wheels)? Seems like it may be a worthwhile investment if you intend to actually drive it.
I had a 71 type 3 fastback same color blue , in 1975 if I pulled the e brake the drums would not release and I had to crawl under it to turn the shelf adjusters
Fortunately I lived in a flat neighborhood and I had mastered driving a stick shift car
I had a dog a shelty that hated the sound of air cooled Volkswagen he would bark and go crazy whenever it passed him
Mustie take some heat shrink tube and slide it on the copper tube where it goes threw the hole in the tin double it up some to help protect it
Grass Roots Motorsports forum review of Kroll, LiqWfr etc. The winner? Homemade 50/50 acetone ATF. Overnight bleeder valve inside/out always works.
Ugh, those brakes remind me of the 1973 Datsun p/u I had in high school. I hated adjusting those drums. I still have that tool stuffed away somewhere.
Fuel system needs a triple bypass. Dr Mustie will be preforming the surgery this morning.
The lamps will always flicker if they are on anything but the highest setting. That's because they use PWM for brightness - the LEDs are always at their brightest, but they are pulsed ON for less of the frequency cycle to make them dimmer.
I miss the days of going to the parts store with drums and rotors to be cut. Everything is throw-away these days…
