Volkswagen Beetle Engine repaint.

For my 1967 Volkswagen Beetle project I decided to give the engine I rebuilt a few years ago a lick of paint. This video shows the process in under 10 minutes.
I had rebuilt the rest of the engine around 5 years before making this video so I knew the internals were good, this was just to freshen up the tin ware and fan housing.

If you found this video helpfull and it saved you spending a lot of money at a main dealer or garage then I would be really grateful if you could drop me a wee donation using the super thanks button and help me make more of these videos. Thank you all, Dave.

not only fascinating from a mechanical point of view, but a really really fine piece of film making and editing as well. especially loved the audio (the occasional bird in the background was a plus). incredibly entertaining. thanks for all of it! P.S. subscribed!

Please put a metal fuel filter from NAPA just under the tank. Those plastic ones are Molotov Cocktails positioned directly over an ignition source. Ask me how I know. Great job and great video!! Pure V-Dub porn!

Don't know but I believe that you have done this before--very peaceful watching you take engine apart and putting it back together again-back in the early days, I owned two Beetles, a 1965 one that I used for a Mud Machine and a New 1972 Super Beetle that was Fun to Drive in that era of time....

Thanks. I have done this once or twice in my 25 years of tinkering with VW's but this was the first time I bothered recording the process. I bet your '65 didnt stay clean for long.

Cheers Craig. The machine in the kitchen is apparently called "the F***ing dishwasher". I learned that when my wife said "why are there car parts in the f***ing dishwasher"....... I got away with it when I told her the parts were off her car :-)

It's nice to rebuild an engine that's complete and not butchered. I've done a couple in my time and spent days repair crap other people have devised on these engines.

@AstonishingGlasgow 5 жыл бұрын

This engine had spent its life in the USA so the tinware hadnt had the chance to rust badly. It was a nice change to have all the screws come out without tearing the tinware to bits.

Thanks and yes, the crank pully was torqued up and has been fine for the last 4 years. It dosnt run true but its not off enough to effect the engine.
