- Today we get the forgotten Vw Thing up on the lift to check the rusty chassis. How bad is it? We also crank the engine over in an attempt to start it for first time in years. Will it run? Next we will take this somewhat rare car on it's first drive in years. Follow along on this car's revival and its journey back on the streets.

![NOSFERATU - Official Teaser Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b59rxDB_JRg/mqdefault.jpg)
One VW i bought , the guy selling it said "I'm sick of fixing it and now the bottom ends gone" and threw his hands in the air. so i bought it cheap. I got it off the trailer when I got home and went to start it. It started fine and ran well but it had a clung, clung sound coming from the motor but it didn't sound like the bottom end. It was a roll of insulation tape bouncing around in rhe fan and there was nothing wrong with the motor. Some times you win.
I love watching you & Dubwerks bouncing off one another, Great work guys.
Me too! Love you guys!
Dubwerks and Jason together make the best videos.
Oil screens:
Earlier single relief cases had a smaller diameter oil pickup tube.
Later ones had a larger diameter tube. Thus smaller and larger center holes in the oil screens.
The more you know!
@@DubWerks keep up the shenanigans dude!
Jen proves her superior judgement in hiring Robbie as tutor/focus coach. Great video! Thanks.
Haha ! 😁
Huge thumbs up for being car pushers ❤😂
Those repair plates are cheap and work.
Dentist….yuk!!!
I prefer NGK
Timing? 😁 Points/Cond
It’s a runner!!! Time to clean the acorns out of the shroud 😁
A dolly car…..😂
Grab the fender, they’re not cheap!! Still watching…
Happy birthday my friend!!
Not bad for as long it’s been sitting,it runs,body is fixable with work.just keep doing what y’all are doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
thank you Tom , i agree
Dubwerks your splity is awesome I'm just about to start restoring my 66 panel. But my 66 has the steering wheel on the correct side. The right side. 😊
That knocking sounded higgly piggly…..not constant.
Or, of course it could be transferring quality on you tube.
Anyway.
I was thinking Abner, put a new alternator on it, without pulling the shroud or engine.
Not getting the washers on the fan nut correctly. Coming loose.
Put a glove on and give it a reach around, and see if that fan is loose.
I have often used NGK, very good plugs. It is not easy to tell on camera but that does not sound like con rods to me. A loose shroud bolt or just acorns and other mouse junk. She is alive and runs so take that as a win. As for the rust it is not that bad which is what we said in the first place. Take care Jason. 👍👍
When the Things came off the boat / train you name it I was the guy who put all the accessories on them. I found out they put an extra key for the ignition on the copper gas line behind the Fan shroud and body. It was just one key . Never a fan of them or the Flat air cooled engines.
If nothing else, this one was extremely entertaining .. .. .. .. THANKS !!
Hi Henry, thank you, make it a great weekend
I love being in the garage with you guys. I even got out my spiral bound idiot's guide! Many thanks.
A man with a lot of visions!!
haha! yes :)
I bought a bug years ago from a truck driver that said he knows the engine was blown by listening it. I bought it and started it at home and you can hear metal grinding. I removed the fan belt and the noise was gone. Generator bearings were bad
She's a runner
👍👍
10:20 The NGK plugs are great. They are gentle on the threads, and they aren’t resistor plugs.
So, picture this in your mind. Using the 1k resistor ends….with those crappy new Bosch resistor plugs. Double resistance means? That’s right , not as hot spark.
There will be someone here that will say, “why that’s not what that means, because of the double neutrino enzyme calculus electron, it will be the same”.
All, I’m saying….is in the book. Remember the book? Yeah…that book.
Those engines use non resistance plugs and 1K resistance reusable wire ends.
And
It wouldn’t be in the book that way, unless it was true.
So, what I am saying is this. The NGK plugs are a great alternative to finding original German non resistor plugs on $$$amba.
Also.
Just a FYI.
Way back in Nam, when these were being built. They came with solid core copper “packard 440” stuff. And reusable ends both on the plug side and cap side.
So, you could just …make… your own set. When they wore out. If you bought a spool of that solid core stuff.
Sweet huh?
About 40 years ago, I would go through the pick a part yards, and pick these plug ends. Now…pretty hard to find.
Again, thank you for you and Dubwerkz for sharing.
😀
Type 181 in germany a very rare and expensive car--->youve got a very nice found!! Greetings from germany!

Dub and 5150 - you're naturally funny together. Or - maybe something's wrong with me?
About The Thing, do you think it ran when parked?
The difference in the oil strainer is the size of the hole for the pickup tube
Awesome
We thank you Rich
Might want to check the cooling fan for the rattle.
I own a 1974 Kübelwagen also just one of my babes
Wasn't me! I laughed out loud.
Haha, awesome , thank you

Hi Andrew , we thank you . 5 people in a buggy nice haha .

Afternoon mate
I believe the noise is coming from the fan. Try disconnecting the belt
Great tip, thank you
Shroud sounds like a bingo tumbler. Gonna start shooting bingo balls out the tailpipe
Beats burning 🔥 acorns 😁
Take the belt off and start it
The dune buggie sounds sweet!
Thank you , needs a different exhaust though
2110 w 48’s
For a minute I thought we were going to see a McDonalds commercial . The valve adjustment is now on hold.??
I’ll do that and run it with no belt next vid …I was up until 330 am with a guy buying that old Nissan truck …I was cooked
Come tell the story to dubworks about how back in Day the Magic 🎩 ✨️ Called Bondo could make everything on VW's Epfa insisted "New!" Yeah Whoooa !!!😂😅 Made my First VW Memories Very Fond!!!; )😂😅
One year body parts rust compatible with all years, engine runs 1600 duel port! quick sell it.
That dune buggy is cool as hell I bet it'd be fun to drive
160hp bathtub on wheels haha
sounds like somethings loose more then a rod knock ... flywheel maybe ?? hard to tell on vid.. cool vid
Nice! I've never owned a Thing
That dune buggy is cute
they are. pretty cool .... it is cute while running low 13's
How about removing the fan belt to determine if there is something in the fan or housing? KISS Surely you know you don't need a light to static time, why is it so hard for guys to set the points, static time and check the valves when trying to start an unknown motor? Asking for a fiend.
Hi great vid so far. Are you planning on doing a full restoration on it or just enough to get it up and running and in a driving condition kind regards chris from the uk.
Doesn't seem to run to bad at all. The floors are much better than I thought they would be, after sitting in the elements so long.
10 minutes in and this is pissing me off, just get on with it without all the bullshit ❗
@@paulmeredith2054 Cry.
Plus 10 points for consulting the Spiral Idiot, minus 100 for blowing your dizzy.
Wasn't me 🤣 When do I get to paint it LOL
Dang for a second i thought i was watching mustie1,yall got it running,jk jk jk, good job man,cant wait to see the outcome of it
haha, i wish , i was half asleep by the end , thank you Nate
@@5150mxVW lol y'all did an awesome job,no prob bud
Every dunebuggy i've owned was terrifying. Some more so than others depending how the pans were...
yes ,that one has 160hp and only likes to be driven hard ....can't lug that one
Never thought the thing wouldn’t run.
😁😁
11:42 I saw spark but the batterie isn't to good
That Thing just might be what I'm looking for, or the 61.
20:00 Just put some Tuneup In A Can in it! 😂
Do all things have that little protective cage around the bottom of the case? @4:10
I push cars around all damn day long!! Haha
😊👍
Thank you Will
Yeah I'm thinking I hear a lower knock in the motor you better pull it
You got a good bit of rust lol
not too bad :)
Garage dinner McDonald's 🎉
What engine have you got in the buggy?
2110
Jen's on board with the Thing? Best paint it blue. Actually, best you make up a blue colour called Jen and then yo have solved every marriage problem ever. Maybe.
This the poking in the rear one, ha ha.
What are those squirt bottles called
Zoom bottles
@@5150mxVW Thanks man, on order
Take Off eh
NGK all the way
👍👍👍
That trailer hitch ball is a little optimistic, eh? I mean, what could you possibly tow with that bumper hitch, a grocery cart?
haha, yeah i was thinking the same ....maybe a small homemade trailer
9:06 it should run
Mate stick it on the Samba and wave goodbye. 👍
Nah
Have I missed something whats the con with the dubworx van?
that vid was a joke mostly but we thought it was a panel. Neither one us noticed the windows on the inside , i just noticed the rust there and showed that in my vid. He looked it over really good that night he bought it and had previously seen it where i found it. A commenter noticed the windows on the 1st vid of it . The whole 5150 plate was my idea lol. I think he is going to keep it as a panel anyway
I didn't see the windows either.@@5150mxVW
Bob and Doug McAircooled
he sure was plugging that fast food joint wasn't he ...haha, shoved the bag right in my camera too lol
@@5150mxVW It gave me uncomfortable flashbacks of my time there. 🥺
🇦🇺👍
Whos dunebuggy and is it for sale?
mine , 12,500
Where are you located ?
CT
@@5150mxVW I’m coming up to Connecticut in a couple weeks ….Torrington ….I want to meet Larry ….I’m restoring a bug and got some questions for him.
maybe contact Larry ?🤣
Ok how ?
We don't see you doing any welding and repairs to any of your cars.
You ever try and make a video about cut , weld , grind x 1,000 ? Recording mechanical and metal work adds 3x the time you spend doing the repair . Add 6-8 hours of editing and uploading . I try to mix it though , that’s why I like recording at Larry’s shop . He can do and explain the job while I record. Also when you suck at repair work it takes even longer to record it haha. And lastly , man , it’s just NICE to enjoy working on the car without the camera on sometimes :))
Seems to run good but it sure smoking awful lot
you can drive it to church. it is already holy.
😂
Are you playing with your thing
Yes
its suck, blow is just an expression
Dubwerks, stop eating that food, it will kill you. 🍔🍟🥤🤢
