You are so right! Unfortunately my Golf is nothing like these beauties

Totally agree, seen Mustie work on so many now it shouldn't be an issue rebuilding one

Yep KZfaq certified 😉😂

Strangely enough, I never laid a wrench to one eather. I did work on a rotary engine on an Artic Cat snowmobile. That was one weird engine. All the seals were bad so it wouldn't run. I scrapped it.

@paul beenis I understood it to mean rotor tip seals - if they're unavailable or very expensive, you've got an engine with low compression that burns oil that's impossible or uneconomical to repair, hence scrap.

It definitely combusted inside. And if you think internal combustion needs to be internal. Look into anti lag.

And notice Mustie didn't have a fire extinguisher nearby, lucky human breath can put out fires. That engine's fly is down and she's losing oil. Cough, but hmm, she's losing rust too, never a good sign. Pull on your head, powder drops, ohhhhh, most certainly not a good sign.

Lol. Good point. When say that though, all I can picture is that spacecraft propulsion concept that consists of dropping nuclear bombs out the back and using the explosion to push it forward 😲.

@@devilselbow i thought his message was joke too buddy

Too much firewater.

What was that? I feel that Darren would have more interesting content with that.

@paul beenis Erik's statement was ok, but there is so many car / garage finds now it's kinda annoying. just my opinion.

@@metoon3092 I don’t mind the garage/barn find videos as long as they become completed projects. The endless find videos with no conclusion to them do not interest me; I don’t watch them.

@paul beenisHey Paul, Genuine answer, I actually watched the whole episode and Mustie1 was as always entertaining and ind good spirit. My comment was wishful thinking, in my (humble) opinion the old-timer would have been a scoop on this channel, nothing more than that🙂

@paul beenis if you were there would be a "@Hugh Evans" 🙂

RogerWilco99 don’t like VW engines either but they are growing on me. Bet I could fix one now that I’ve seen it done like 20 times. Lol

😅👍

🤣

yeah you can hear it moan and groan like an old man getting off the couch.

i'm with this, might as well throw some 4 hour video's in to mix it up a little!

I too was ready, willing and able.

3hrs to all day would be good. 😁👍🏻 but super happy Mustie does any videos at all. I am grateful for all his videos coz I can't do it much anymore.. age , disabilities etc. oh and I live in cold England.

Agreed. Count me as another who doesn’t mind the long run times. They’re always entertaining and educational. No filler or gimmicky junk seems to ever find its way in which is great.

this is better than reality shows on TV. Nothing beats this..

Jason is a very cool guy!

agreed :D

I actually think this one is worse than the engine that was in pickle! 😜 and THAT is saying something!!!

@@marcijunebug The whole lot needs to be scrapped.

12 noon here.

@@k1ckyscotland988 thats cool!

I am like 12 hours later in Jakarta, mostly enjoying dinner or already my evening coffee.

And Dukes of Hazzard A Team

@@Leroys_Stuffyep I needed a DVR back then lol

Mustie grinning and laughing as fire comes out of the motor. His good humor and enjoyment is contagious.

@@onemat2000 😄

I second that..

I thought it was doing that to boost the ratings of the video!

Safety third!

Not their flavor, maybe too high asking price? I mean, i love cars, but i don't dip in every pot. I've seen and passed some cool cars looking for bits or donors for my Mercs.

When you mess with old cars you usually want to stay with one brand. I have broken that rule a few times but it just creates a headache when trying to collect and store parts.

@@nicostenfors5690 True, VGG goes for ALL the Flavors of cars, gotta wait a bunch of the time to get parts as one man can't collect parts for each engine each chassis ect. Hard to pick though, older cars all have special cars that most of us love and it's just what you can affford ig uess. An old VW bus seems cool, not my dream car exactly, but cool to own.

I'd like to have that 36 Ford!!!!

@@jamesmann1243 same here

I bought a '65 VW bug in Adelaide in '88. I was travelling around Aus, with a mate and we got tired of hitchhiking (Sydney to Adelaide). We were headed to Perth for Xmas, We put 14,000 miles on that bug in about 11 weeks. Paid $700 for it and then sold it to another canadian in Brisbane for $700. That little car showed us your fabulous country

Mustie must form a chapter in Adelaide, from Paradise this way :)

Hi Daryl, yes, totally agree, from Prospect this way.

you can torch blast the plugs also, the steel will expand and help bust up the corrosion bond, you sure wont hurt the dense aluminum that transfers heat far faster than steel. thermal cycle them 3 or 4 times each and wrap on them with a hammer and steel tube/socket that's just larger than porcelain yet smaller than overall plug body. yeah you'll probbaly break the plug porcelain, but i'd rather break that than pull all the aluminum threads :) and yes by all means, just tweak them a bit and add magic spray and gently tweak back and forth while it works in.

Jason is a cool guy!

He has a channel, also, with engine and car shenanigans. 5150mxVW worth a sub.

@@aserta oooh. thanks.

And his son Josh is a hoot! Great kid. And let’s not forget his long suffering wife Jen.....

@5150mxVW got a video loading it on a trailer. Hopefully he will do a revival on it soon.

@@andersjlsum3928 I suspect Marc might have been talking about the one in the garage next to the engine, not the bus.

@@Ragnar8504 Yes sir.

Well said

Oh man, so true! Nothing gets Mustie down. That's probably the most valuable thing I've learned from watching him. He never gets upset, no matter what obstacle pops up. How many times have I gotten so frustrated that I just gave up? Too many! Mustie is one hell of a mechanic.

97⁰חןאכ09⁸

You know the old saying, "Find a job that you love doing, and you'll never work another day in your life?".

He sees everything like an adventure.... it is broken anyways so you can't make it more broken that it is already

Haha, Mustie wouldn't have cleared the scrap for you if you'd told him that bit of info ;)

So now you tell us

@@Jim_M_75 he would have still taken it!

@@dans_Learning_Curve Indeed he would haha. VW bus engine with dropped valve, will it run ?

@RogerWilco99 We know, @5150mxVW is "that guy" who Mustie got the engine off.

How many Kangaroo's would you say that engine has in her? With only 1-cylinder firing at 50%, and the rest of the engine dead, I'd say she's down to 1 kangaroo.

@@stellarproductions8888 almost spot on. 1 Kangaroo and a Rock Wallaby (smaller breed that like its name hangs around rocky crags and cliffs, we call them torque converters 👍 because jeez they get up and go when yah shoot at em 😂) Also I reckon those engines have bilby nuts as well. We'll they at least look like bilbys nuts 😆 (small Australian native rodent, looks like a tiny kangaroo but it's a native mouse with long tail with a hairy tuft on the end to scare off predators) And I'm sure they have dingo drive as part of the transmission too, once they get up to speed it's almost impossible to stop em! 😆 Dingo's wind up slow and slow down slow when running at yah to eat yah 😂, by the way that's true, Dingos eat people in Australia if given the chance they're our version of the wolf. Evil buggers!

Not only was it free, it was free (it wasn't seized.) :-D

Same here. I wonder how it passed Mustie's eyes

It didn’t, it’ll show up in a video in the future! :)

@@shakyhandpictures2185 .. lol i was thinking that as well

@@shakyhandpictures2185 Let's hope for it 😀

its a beautiful old girl, but that kind of car is not in Mustie 1's groove. he has that Ford Econoline sitting on the jackstands for a year now with no hint it will be touched again any time soon. Mustie is a VW and small engine guy. that old Ford probably has a large inline 6 which parts for it will be very very scarce. Mustie1 doesnt have a parts bin for it.

Yeah. Wifes tooth brushes are multi purpose. I use hers to scrub my razor after I shave and put it back in her cup holder.

I'm a coward .. i buy about a dozen asda smartprice ones

someone once told me they used my toothbrush to scrub a toilet, it didn't turn out well for them at the hospital having a puncture wound stabbed into them from the toothbrush handle ;)

A little Teflon tape works good too

​@@kellysteele8878 Unfortunately the use of Teflon tape is as far as I know, not approved by the CAA. It's ok on cars though.

A lot of spark plug manufacturers specifically advise against this. They claim the plating on their plugs does the same job, but without the risk of overtorque that any thread lubricant can bring about.

I was cringing watching him take those out

@@kw9849 That plating wears off eventually after many services. Better to be safe than have an expensive repair.

Thanks jerkoff. Your the guy that says "oh he doesn't die till the end" in the movie theater.

Seems like a Mustie project, but then again, no. Not his style, am I right? But my vote is YES. You don't see those every day.

😎

Friday was Dukes for me!

And we say yes it is

Jim. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. When I was 17 I got a beetle with a comparable engine. A $300 of pistons cylinders and some seals and it was my only car for many years. Moved me from Virginia to Nashville, To Ohio. And amazingly all the way to Atlanta Georgia. Never was towed. Never let me down. Always got me where I wanted to go. And when I scrapped the car from dangerous rust. The engine went into a dune buggy and eventbough the main bearings could be wiggled by hand. I used to take it to the drag strip and launch it so hard it ripped the transmission mount free and smashed the trans against the floor. Oh ya and I still drove it home. Old machines are not the same as the plastic junk ppl own now a days.

@@fastinradfordable I was more commenting on the fact that Mustie seems to be able to make anything run if he deems it worth his time and expense.

@Jay Rawson Will you come back for part 2? Also yes. lol

Collab with VVG

@@4himsanctified Now that's a dream collaboration right there

Mustie and VGG would be the best video ever!!!

@RogerWilco99 Base Ford model 48 in '35 has horizontal strapping in the grill whereas the base model 48 in '36 does not. However, some of the '36 had '35 style grill (factory leftovers?) and, since either grill would fit in either model year later restorations can be seen using the "wrong" grill.

Lol no kidding

Theres a formula to figure belt size

Bhahahahahaha

From the looks of it, those plugs were probably installed on the same day.

@Iron *Fe* - Can't fool me... maybe last night, but not yesterday! 😜

Your videos are great also. Keep making them. 👍
