Saw a cartoon the other day with 4 tires standing up. It said "Sprayed some rust remover on it."

I was 16 yrs old back in 95 mowing lawns, when one of the houses I was mowing was preparing to junk a 70 bug. The lady told me the wrecker was giving her $200 to haul it away. I told her I would mow her lawn for the rest of the season for free if she gave it to me. She agreed so I through what gas I had left in my gas can for the lawn mower, spent 15 minutes tinkering and she fired up. After I got home I told my dad and we went back to drive it home. I miss that bug. No heat and no a/c, but those seats were infamous for robbing my friends of the change in their pockets which came in handy when I needed 85 cents to get home and it didn't matter where I was hahaha. I never did clock the mpg on her but it never mattered anyway.

I think I actually heard a breath of relief of being saved! Poor little bug, a new life!🥰

"I can't hold my breath that long". The joys of restoration.

Crusty has a little sister, how cute.

Here in Brazil, we say "paint it green and throw in the bushes" when someone doesn't know what to do with an old car...

Why do I find it so damn satisfying to watch someone wash a really dirty car even when it’s completely rusty ?

I’m still catching up on some of the old mustie1 videos I’m surprise 5150 didn’t sniff this one out lol. This would be right up his alley. Thank you mustie, It’s always a great time watching you do what you do.

in a David Attenborough voice ' and here we see a pair of VW hunters in their natural environment , lets sit back quietly and see if they can snare their prey & bring it back to their lair '

I know you told me about it being in the woods but 😮...I'm stoked to see this one back on the road 👍.

Thank you for entertaining me yet again

When Mustie said, "It actually does not look terrible." I spit my coffee all over the keyboard!

Today on Mustie1, "Mustiana Jones". When you guys pulled it out of that jungle, I was worried it might break in half.

I am watching this in Sydney, on the other side of the world and when Musti is emptying the glove box I find myself holding my breath in order not to breathe any of that dust. True story.

I'm so glad you saved this car. I was born in 85' and I can appreciate this car all the way to California, by the way born there too. I wouldn't have left it for dead though. The look/patina is awesome.

Love Mustie's positive attitude. Floors are missing, engine won't rotate. 'She's in pretty good shape.' 😂😂😂

Mustie is rocking that Dr Emmett brown look 👍

Mustie the hoarder going thru that stuff I thought you were gonna have a “Volksgasm”!!🤣

Finding these beetles growing in the wild is extremely rare. Nice to catch a humane harvest on film

That must have still been a nice, solid car in 1985-too bad it had to sit in the woods.

Definitely want to see this as a sooner than later project. Who’s with me?

My dad had a 58 bug with the semaphores that he restored 10 years ago wish he still had it. Great Find! 👍

When I feel lonely and bored, Mustie's videos saves me from boredom.

At least this bug found a loving home where the hoomans will take care of it.

best part of Sunday morning

I can’t believe the car did not pull in half!

Defiantly love is in the eye of the beholder, i was holding my breath when you emptied the glove box, good luck.

I watched this video on June 18 on my Smarty TV from start to finish just to watch a guy look thru jars of junkie nuts, bolts, and pencils. That VW is in better shape than it looked there in the mud, the blood, and the weeds. No matter how badly I needed a key I'd never looked bare handed thru that pee soaked glove box! I can't say I learned anything. But it sure was fun watchin!

I don't understand VW love, but to y'all who like this stuff, the passion is real. Resorting something instead of just trashing it, that's what's cool

first look at that bug and she is a beauty. I would only clearcoat that boddy. Absolutely beautiful

Love the headlights on the ol girl. She's good! Great find 👍🏻

What surprises me is that the headlights and lights are in very good condition and are complete, which is the hardest thing to find, that car deserves to be restored.

After so many mowers and snowblowers I'd forgotten what old beetles smelled like. I've been holding my breath for over 30 minutes!

One of these days, Mustie is going to find an old, rusty VW emblem in the woods, and we aren't going to be surprised when he "gets it going"...

Nice look forward to more wrenching on Fruity Pebbles! Thanks for the shop time.

Hey Mustie, prayers to you and your family. I always enjoy watching your videos Brother. God bless America and all our KZfaqr family. Love Uncle Jeff!

You know when you watch these videos of old guys who have amassed this incredible collection of stuff and you wonder how in the hell did this guy end up with all of this?? Here you are seeing how that happens in real time.

I really hope you do "complete" this one, I really like it, I feel like it's got a nice friendly personality, reminds me of crusty.

My first-ever car was a 59 bug. It didn't have a gas gauge but had a lever on the front fire wall above the tunnel that would switch it to reserve if you were running out of gas. Didn't see it on your bug. Lesson learned was to put lever back to normal after filling up.

Congratulations on the find. I wish the 58 gets a new lease of life and runs again. All the best.

Morning gents. As much as we all hate under coating. I think we have to call this one a win for protecting the underbody of this car. I thought you were crazy for pulling that out of the weeds until you got into it and saw that it was surprisingly repairable.

Anybody else get dizzy from holding their breath while he cleaned out the glove box?

This reminds me so much of an archeological dig. you never know what you will find.

Nice, I have 39 that my Father restored in the 70s. Can't wait to watch this project.

This is the sort of project that once you've sorted out all the pieces, you need a good, long shower!

OK you shocked my wife she heard the" looks better than she smells... I had dates like that " as she was walking past the tv

The California plates are the most valuable find in this haul.

These vids are so good I watch them every night vw boat motors lawn mowers the heavy band saw really enjoy alot from fixing vw to just about anything great job

The slotted aluminum disc looks like the bottom pan from a pressure canner.

Looks like it was upholstered, with discarded kilts.

Thankyou for rescuing that beetle. My first was a 65 beetle and my last a 72. All restored by my Dad and I. Been watching the channel a couple of years.

Given the crazy tick season we are having, I'm going to guess he brought home more than the 1 bug.

When you were sorting through those boxes of small parts: "Picking the peanuts out of the elephant's poop"

Watching the clock this morning for my Mustie1 fix fix.

I love these old bugs!!! I love the design of the engine, it is absolute genius the way they built them, without the need for water for cooling, extremely reliable and perfect for desert weather. I miss my '72 Super Beetle, I wish I had taken the money and the car instead of having it totaled. It sold at the auction for $1,300, it had side damage but I had put new tires, new front struts, oil pump and filter (aftermarket) and I was in the process of finding a way to fix the fuel gauge. I loved working on it, I loved driving it, I loved everything about my bug and now I wish I had another one and the time to fix it!!!

This is an absolute labor of love, and I hope it gets restored. I am wildly curious if it is possible. I believe at several points of this video, my allergies responded with histamines from just seeing and imagining all that dust, dander and urine / feces. I cannot wait to see more.

The see-through floor in the back will keep the kids entertained.

Beetle Time Coffee and a Mustie1 video. Yep its gooood

Considering where that appears to have sat for the last 35 years then it's in pretty amazingly good shape...

What a super find Mustie! I love your enthusiasm. I too see the car from the rust. Well worth some effort. & look forward to seeing it in later (or better sooner) episodes. 🤙🤙🤙

I look forward to the ensuing miracle.

That’s a hell of a find, good on ya for rescuing her would’ve been a shame for a car with that much good metal to have started rusting away

Listening to the camera's heartbeat is part of enjoying these videos

Wow 1958 Bug thats when i was born im age 64 What a fantastic find

There’s something so satisfying about getting a car resurrected after so many years, Mustie is the man!

Whenever Mustie1 and a Volkswagen come together, all is well in the world again.

Another great video! Thanks Mustie!

The bag of gold is hidden away in the glovebox, make sure to sift through that nesting material real well.

A green bug in the forest, how unusual!

Somehow mustie is just way better than TV.

I wanted to wash my hands after watching you clean out that interior! :)

I saved a rusty 63 sunroof bug in 1988 and still have it . I drive it on nice days. sometimes to work. i get thumbs up all the time

If you in Oz, you'd be reaching in pulling stuff out...."Oil filter, oil wrench, deadly spider, fuel pump, trim, deadly snake, fuses, relay, battery, 5 meter croc, registration paper, more trim, 6 volt battery, shark, funky seat covers, front seat, dingo...

The only time a bug wants outta the woods is when Mustie is taking her home!

Surprisingly not bad, good find.

thank you so much, it was really interesting to see you go through it in such a methodological way, so much more sensible than others I've watched where 'stuff' is just disguarded. I wish you well in your rebuild when it takes place.

hello mustie, long time viewer from norway here. Remember when you did crusty way back. looked like an impossible task. you proved everyone wrong that everything is fixable, and made to look awesome doing it. you opened my eyes for sure. currently restoring a 69 volvo amazon, also called volvo 121. thanks to you my motivation have kept on going. i may not be a active commentor in your video's but i sure watch them all. Have a great one! -Chris

That stamped disc from inside the trunk looks like it is part of a 70's pressure cooker.

watching glovebox dig-through = extremely satisfying

As always entertaining and educational. I am in Australia and I work in the Mental Health sector. After a day of dealing with and helping others I watch Mustie to relieve stress. Nice work mate and thanks!! Keep em coming!

You know mustie has one hell of an immune system lol

"Look! A 2000-year-old Volkswagen!"... (Gets in and starts right up)...Woody Allen's "Sleeper"

I deliver to a place that loves VW as much as you do. They have six Beetles, two Karmann Ghias and a Thing.

I just panicked for a second. I was scrolling through my notifications looking for a mustie episode and didn't see it. My heart sank for a second then I realized I skipped past it. Whew.

I’m 4 mins into this and I’m already thinking, this bug and crusty will go together like peas and carrots !

The best "Will it run?"s start out as a forest management problem!

Please please do this car up and give it the love and tlc it needs ❤

Hey, Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I gave up my VW bug about the same time after it being mine for about 25 years. Had to let it go because the body was rotten and a hazard to proper steering. My co-worker ended up with it and came back later and gave me $100 for it. Said that the body was rotten, but the motor and transmission were the best used components he had ever purchased. Well, I did have engine re-built 3 times and replaced the transmission. Lasted me for 300 000 miles.

Good Morning everyone.

Now all you have to do is give red green a call, and ask him to come out of retirement and make a duct tape floor for this beauty!!!

That was a good find. She’s definitely savable. You grossed me out with that glove box though. Lol

This VW was like a time capsule and what also is interesting is that when I viewed this video there were over 260 Thousand views... It's amazing the VW had all the glass to it, not broken also... That sure was a plus! Hope we get to see some of the repairs or reconstruction of this Beetle... It's so cool that you would take the time to restore this Bug after all these years of it just sitting and rotting away... Also hope to see the finished product for sure...! Love your channel....! I just subscribed...

I always remember, when I see something like this: That car used to be brand new. Once upon a time, someone drove it off a dealer's lot for the first time. Who? Where did he go in it? There's a lot of history there. I'd love to see it running again.

A lost vw in the woods?? I'll watch the crap outta this!! :D The patina is wicked!!!!!!!!!

You can see what happens to spray paint over hot dip. I thought it was amusing when Mustie was pushing on the inside of the door, like a clown going "Hey, wait guys, I have to push it open first!" It was also mildly amusing with the lubricant on the hinges. Everyone does it - even knowing that you have to wait for penetration, you still immediately try the object to see if it 'just worked'.

I appreciate you putting the tire valve stem caps back on. Proper.

Good old doc brown at it again on a Sunday morning. Where’s the flux capacitor go on this time machine?

I was convinced that was going to be a lost cause but Mustie always see's the diamond in the rough.

That engine extraction was far more graceful than expected.

You VW guys just will not give up. Good luck with that pile of rust.
