Best response to the question “how many do you have?” Calming and confidently saying 45.

You and Mustie, the vw kings.

we know you worked on it a while. the bumper is polished in the center,

Runs and sounds great I would clean out the cooling fan and housing and evict the mice.

You made me a Beetle fan again. I miss my 1970...

Keep it as is, stickers are part of its history. Cut the rust out, weld her up, jobs a good un. The oil not coming out, reminded me of a Suzuki Samurai SJ 1300 I had years ago. Jumped in to go to work and it wouldn’t turn over. Phone our workshop, they sent a recovery lorry for it and me. At the workshop we took the sump plug out and no oil ran out. A screw driver got stuck up in the hole and still nothing came out. Sump off, black jelly was all we found!

I never get sick of these video’s! Fun stuff!

I grew up in a 67 beetle my mom drove. Named it Gertie. She loved that car. It was red with black or dark grey seats. 40 HP. Sometimes I feel like finding one and restoring it to bone stock like mom's car was.

67’s rule! Idles too, fantastic!

6:23 "We just gave birth" ... I aerosoled my coffee everywhere

Especially out there in the states where you are - the camp ground badges, park pennants and flags are cool nostalgia 😃

I'm pretty sure when you pulled the strainer I saw a dinosaur fall out. She runs pretty darn good!

PB blaster is a VW best friend 👍

The Bug whisper,dose it again 🙌🏻👏🏻🪲

Sounds good!! That oil strainer... gross lol

i've been watching ur videos over my Christmas 2022 holiday from Scotland .......i ran beetles from 1980 until the mid 1990's ......love them takes me back to all my fun i had them .......thank you for the posts

Wow! It's a runner. Great job on getting it going. I do miss your trademark car pushing and Josh comments.

She's a runner & sounds quite good. A little more tinkering & will be ready for test drive ... Not mechanically inclined at all, so live vicariously through you, DubWerks, Mustie & VW Life in TX ... Cool cool as in air cooled ...

Nice job! Who would have thought, with ALL that water in there? Now, drive it up to NH, and come take a look at my ‘68. I’ve been bugging Mustie, in his comments, as he’s closer, but haven’t heard back. I’ll even take you out for some good burgers and beers, or grill you up some homemade steak tips. Hit me up…

Well done. I bet Mustie1 is proud.

Window stickers and decals are travel history man- you need to keep em!

Liked! Why isn't there a "love" button?

if you have the stuff to fix it up, do it and drive it, that's a real gem

The van ! That’s a cool ass van bug .. needs a few longboards sticking out the window

It gave birth!!! I laughed out loud 🤣.....great video ! Get it safe ....run it like it is !!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from mustie1, pull the motor and clean out the mouse nests!

sounds very dam good mate it is getting there she is running

Listen to that !! First go - beautiful man ! Be nice to it.

Excellent video Jason. Jen will be proud 😃 🇬🇧

Fix brakes, new gas tank, and run it down the road! Can not wait to see if you can bring the color back. Love it! love it!

Mice like to make a nest in the fan housing! I learned that one the hard way! My wife’s 58 convertible. It started on fire 🔥 on the highway. It didn’t burn down but it was close. A passer bye stopped and poured his bottled water on it. I got lucky, I haven’t touched in 15 years. I have a rebuilt 36h for it just got to move it up the priority list. Thanks for the videos

I'm impressed........it sounds like a good runner!

LOVE this 67! Low rust.

Quaker State had a gelling problem in the late 70s, sir ... 50 years later, still showing up

That motor not only sounds great but no shaking at all. Even Jen's gotta be happy with this one!

If you dropped a video on Saturday and Mustie1 on Sunday, my weekend would be complete.

THUMBS UP from Germany !

Yes,she is a runner, good weekend

Still a sucker for the sound of VW engine.

Amazing, she wants to live 👍😎

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

The 67 Beetle sounds good! Do the compression test, check the brakes and send her on the road.

I have rescued a Geo Metro 3-cylinder engine and an old MG 1100 engine by first draining oil, refilling with inexpensive 30 Wt plus a bottle of either Marvel Mystery Oil of Seafoam an d running for about 40 minutes. Drained a lot of nastiness and gunk out, changed filters and refilled with nice oil. Neither has electronic issues but ran like the cr@p that came out before, and then a couple tanks with the Seafoam in the gas, replaced valve cover gaskets, and the engines ran. I am amazed that most of the KZfaq rescue video folks do not do (or show) the oil clean out. At least on these VW's, you show the horrible state of the oil drains and do clean them, so thanks!

What should you do? What is necessary and NOTHING more. Do your fluids/brakes/elec/rust and then leave it. The car had a life, do enough to let it grow old disgracefully. It's a gem and I love it.

Nice job. Get it road driving and drive to Minnesota and give me my 1st ride ever in a bug. I've always wanted to get a bug.

Ugghhhh. I just had lunch, now I'm seeing the sludge-o-matic heads....That poor V.W. bug!!!! Mercy!!!!

Gotta love that sound!

Nice... I used to own one (build in 1967.) in 1980...did all maintenance myself... Had it for yesrs and it took me all across Europe... 😎😉 And every where I came spare parts were to be found 🤣🤣

LOVE THE BUG!!!

Maintenance and full send! And enjoy it

nice sludge but got it beat it runs thumbs up shared

These VW Beetle engines are unique, simple and easy to fix. Seems that always run even after long decades into the barn with mice and racoons nest inside. Absolutely love it!

Here,from land o' lakes,wi...very nice car...runs even better...dream on...!!!!!!!.😐😐 ....still bugless.

Another excellent video. Change the oil again, do the same to the gearbox, check brakes and drive!! 😎🤙. That oil was awful! Lol

That sounds great!

Wow ! she runs pretty good ! I love that classic VW exhaust note!👍

Always love them wrap around bumpers

I love watching your videos!

That sounds great! I don't see any immediate need to take the engine out, it sounds like it's running on all cylinders. My bet is the compression is OK and will probably improve a bit as it runs more. Just a few more oil changes, make sure the brakes work, it shifts and you have a runner. Congrats!

What a wonderful video thank you!!

Can't believe how the last owner treated this bug, what a shame.

She's a Runner Jason....It sound 's like music to my ears...Love the classic sound of a VW. You can't beat them. If this guy you bought it from did more of a routine schedule repairs on the car it would have gotton to this point! Your a awesome mechanic Jason....Another great vidio!!!

That car sounds nice! I'd say get it to be a driver and do a few oil changes in the short term to flush out more sludge, and you should be golden.

It runs!!!! Woohoo! Those pans look great too. Great job! I gotta get me one of those parts cleaners🤣 Look super convenient!

I can't believe how much Gunk was in that engine I can hear your little man see Dad we don't have to push this one I think that is a keeper and I think that'll run for a long time have a great weekend bro

Can’t wait to see it drive!

Excellent video Jason :) also I seen Gas & Desiel motor run dirty before and super needed rebuilt too ! Thats why every 3 years on my own vechile I changed engine oil plus filter plus do whole tune up every time also Engine Flush Fluid in Crank Case with bottle of Gunk Seal brand for not 5 mins 10 mins before oil changes plus filter! If can't get that brand bottle put Automatic transmission type 2 or 3 whole bottle in motor run thru for 10 mins and changed engine oil plus filter screen on VW car ! Plus changed PCV Valve, Air also Fuel Filters Plus Sparks plugs also cap plus rotor and wires too!

like the song of a bluebird....yep all the bugs are out

Clean it, fix it, drive it and leave it be!

Why laugh? Easy! Because it's better than crying. Well hey, runs like a top! I was concerned when I saw that it was full of as many dead dinosaurs as La Brea! I say keep all the stickers, they add character!

Please tell me you ran some brake clean through the pushrods! That's awesome that thing sounds great. I know you don't want to drop the engine but at least pull that dog house and get down on top of those cylinders! That thing could be packed with Mouse house and it won't survive long like that

Wow that is one beautiful bug great job!

Add a little Marvel Mystery Oil for the flush and I think you you have a winner. Congratulations

The old man helped with my 67 , 40 days ago we kept diesal to clean it out

Wow 5 lug wheel look good!

Wow that's crazy being clogged up so bad, I'm shocked it ran so nice.

Love it 😍 that sound takes me back to being a kid sitting in the back 👌💖

I wish your videos were longer. I watch Mustie, Mortske, and Cold War Motors. I'd love for you to be up there, been watching awhile but I often skip over anything under 30 minutes. Some people are the opposite. Sometimes I skip Mustie when he posts something under an hour, and he's my #1

Great video I'd like to have that one 👍

Amazing they still running I bought a 68 bug been sitting for over 25 years the oil had turned like a tar I use the brake line vent to scrape out the whole pan area took a whole day just to clean the grumge out of the pan area call Doyle pressure switch had oil coming out change the oil couple times clean the rockers like you did the transmission was the same way it wouldn't drain it was the same tar looking stuff took a day to clean it out now she's on the road again though cool stuff

Wow that's awesome she's a runner. Never seen oil like that LoL 😜😆

Excellent platform for classic California Looker Beetle.

That is one old and neglected engine! Poor 67! I’d run marvel Mystery oil through the engine to try and clean things out.

Sounds Sweet! I hope the clutch is good.......and the brakes etc etc

Que chulada mi amigo!

Great job with the prep for the first run. It's such a bummer to see routine maintenance so neglected, when it’s no hard to do. I’d do the basics, make sure brakes are safe etc, and leave the engine in. Once it’s safe, drive and enjoy. Great job 5150, can’t wait to see you driving it.

Great video. Hope to see you at the CVA foliage cruise!

Excellent work on a great car Jason

We did change the oil.....Once every 5 years weather we needed it or not!

Nice runner, shocking... but nice runner! Thank God for Marvel Mystery Oil.

Motor sounds great. Keep it as is. Daily driver bro.

My first Type 1 I owned was a 67 Zenith blue.....loved it ! 30 pict 1 is the best s/p carb for overall mileage and performance

love what you do so lucky cheers

That thing sounds minty for what the insides looked like. I've never seen a head that didn't at least have some silver showing, that's crazy!

It's a runner so leave the block in for the time being. It sounded alright, no clonks or bangs just let it loosen up and then check the brakes, most important! Oh I would keep the stickers It's part of the history of the car. The only thing that lets it down is the bad paint job but the whole car is very solid just a few rusty bits. Great video Jason please keep them coming and have a good weekend .👍👍

Great work on the video

Jason, I thought I would give you a tip for cleaning up chrome. It comes from Henry Cole a British man like myself. He is on TV here often, into vintage bikes. Buy some aluminium foil, the stuff you put on your turkey, tear some off the roll and make a pad you then rub the chrome with the foil. It creates a chemical reaction between the two surfaces. It works very well depending on how pitted the chrome is. Give it a try, Mustie 1 reminded when he said about polishing the bumper. 👍👍

You too mate have a great weekend 👌

Oil reminded me of the La Brea Tar Pits. Wonder what extinct animal remains were in there :)>.....and no pushing. Wow. Sounds really good. Thanks for the video. John here from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

Hi This is the first time I comment on your videos. It's only been a short time since I started to wacht them. I like that there raw and unfiltered. I personally own a 1970 vw and in the process of fixing it. I have no experience at allI but any little tips I learn from you will be great. I will continue to watch your videos and learn from your work. Keep it up and keep having fun.
