- I picked up this 1974 vw thing from a museum that had it donated to them , it was on an island its whole life racking up 29k miles. but then sat for a long time. now we know why.
Gotta love Mustie, man. Been around for 13 years now, same format, no intro, no product to sell you, just a man in his garage tinkering.
I don't think I look forward to anything more than tinkering with Mustie and coffee on Sunday morning, armed with a general knowledge, and sometimes even the proper tools. Thanks Mustie!
It’s really a privilege to watch a bonafide expert work on what they’re an expert at. He can figure out anything, but when it comes to Volkswagen’s, there’s nobody better.
Good afternoon fellow Mustie1 fans everywhere, from a rainy 🌧️ Lincolnshire, UK 🇬🇧
My grandfather had a 70-something Super Beetle and it had the oil bubbler air filter system. It's saved him and my grandmother when they were visiting Mount Saint Helens when it blew. There was Ash piled up a yard high or more on the roads out of there. People were broke down everywhere left and right because of standard radiators and air filter systems getting clogged on their cars. My grandfather just kept putting right through it. People that were stalled on the road asked him how he could keep driving. He told him he just had him a case of oil and he would stop and change it out of his air bubbler system every once in awhile, and he had a whisk broom to clean the motor off so it could cool down.
I miss Lily the dog at the end of each video. She was such a sweet old girl.
Nothing like waking up to mustie playing with his thing.😯😯😯
All of a sudden Sammy Hagar springs to mind EXCEPT in this case it is "I can't drive 35!"!!!!!! LOL
Ahhh, the best part of the week! Morning fellow Mustie fans! 👋
got me struggling in my seat trying to put that spring on...muscle memory...
Good morning from Northern Michigan. The best way to start a sunday👍
I love your Volkswagen videos, although I have done everything you have done on my buses, it is just so nice to see someone with years and years of experience giving us newbies a lesson and we can see you work. You have taught me so much. Thank you Darren!
I'm on vacation in Jamaica and wouldn't miss my Sunday morning Mustie experience!
WOW... does this ever bring back memories. The late 70's into the early 80's I used to build bug engines and did one van engine. If I had a garage I would love to have come across this "Thing", no pun intended. I loved all of my Beetles after I worked through all the little problems that most bugs had from the factory. The very last bug I built would pull the front wheels off the ground about an inch on take off from stop lights and run quicker quarter miles than stock '79 Camaros.😁
This is what I came for a few years ago… VW engines… I stayed for everything else… keep up the good work Mustie1. Hello from Lancashire in the UK.
Back in the 1970's when I was in high school it used to take about 15 minutes for me and a friend to pull a VW engine. we would jack the rear of the car up high enough to place the rear tires stacked under the engine to drop on and one would work on the top disconnecting the wires and carb cable, fuel iine and remove the tins and the other would be pulling the four engine bolts.
I kept thinking Drum Brake Tools! Those goofy spring pliers in particular.
I’ve never had an old air-cooled VW, just a Passat, Phaeton, Alltrack, etc… That being said, I enjoy watching you fix them and appreciate the simplicity of their design. I would also by lying if I said I didn’t enjoy seeing my wife get nervous when she sees me watching this and thinking about the possibility of some old car taking up the garage in pieces.😂
Colourful language ?
The wheel upgrade was the right move! I'm digging it.
