Hi ct I love watching your video's but why do you keep starting a new project can you please finish one because I don't see the point watching if you are never going to complete anything.

Oh boy! Another episode of "CT washes a car"!!

Jaaa. Love it. Your trolling the haters. Go get them CT. Can’t wait to see the next car you pull apart. You do have deep pockets to purchase these gems so keep finding them and storing them. It could go two ways. You become an old man with a treasure of stuff that never got fixed or everyone’s envy with a garage full of sweet restored rides. I bet your viewership would probably double if you finished at least one project. You would be surprised how satisfying it is to see a project to completion. Let’s go CT you got this. Make plans buddy I’m headed your way next year in my VW Westy. So I hope you have at least one finished so we can go for a cruise! I’m gonna ask VW Darrin if I can visit him too!

You are a brave man CT tackling that, but next time please ware gloves and nose protection, just some friendly advice from fellow Floridian

Jezzus...clean up that garbage ... take an hour..and put the pokey stuff away...not damaging more than it has is important ...grab some gloves...garbage bags and whatever containers to fill and get it dun..son takes no time to do stuff RIGHT...

PIECE OF CAKE.......you got this.......a little welding and some rubbing compound and it will be as good as new.

Hi CT. Way cool Video! I’m amazed how much dirt and rust and stuff came of that bug! Wow🏁👍🍺🇺🇸

Do you think that you could finish one vehicle?

Totally worth fixing! I will never understand why you wouldn’t have vacuumed and then power washed all the crap off before disassembly. It makes it far less unpleasant!

When I buy VWs like this disassembled, see hammer marks on axle tubes, broken bolts, and lost parts.I always wonder who was tearing them apart and what where they thinking……. Well now I know who, will probably never know the rest. Lol.

It’s always very satisfying to see such cars have a second life! Thank you!

Here we go again. CT, I think the time has come up for a serious reality check on your part. We are all aware that VW are rotted, and they are all rotted in the same place. Now lets fix one and show us what they look like before they reached the rotted stage. To be honest your format at the present is at standstill.

I have a small shop at my house,, the name of my shop is Rat rod garage I've been watching videos on your rusty 65,,, I've done thee same exact thing with my 57 oval it sat in the woods for 47 years an now It's almost ready to run down the road I kept the old patina look I've done all the work myself, an watching what all you done to yours I've picked up on some great tricks, so keep up the good work brother

By the time you got down to this point, with all the pieces added together the car weights about half of what it did. Could paint some stripes and put the number 53 on it. You could go and pick up the parts for this one if you had a old truck to put them in. Just making sure you have not forgot the Dragon.

heater cable strikes again :).

Are you going to combined all your unfinished projects into one crappy one

Thanks CT ! A lot of Fun ! Straight Ahead ✌😎

Super awesome build...just love the way that patina looks on the body...good luck with the rest of the build...

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

I’m on a watching binge!👌😂👍I had to catch up! Very impressive!

Talk about bringing something back from the grave! Awesome project. I look forward in seeing your impression of your discovery when you're finished. Thumbs up guy! Later.

O jeito que você desmonta e faz as manutenções passa uma simplicidade e realmente o Fusca não tem muito segredo pra desmontar aqui no Brasil a gente tem um manual pra fazer todos os reparos no Fusca Brasília Kombi 🇧🇷

I thought I was watching an archeological dig for a minute there . Surprised ! It seems to be salvageable , lots to be replaced. I would have pressure washed it then disassembled . Instead of digging through and breathing all that dust and crap. Good job so far !

I enjoyed your build rebuilding of your panel. Bad chad jumps around building stuff. I hope you will stay on task and complete this rebuild, I have to do one of what you are doing. Jim in SC

Why do you start all of these new projects? VW buss, Karmann Ghia, Porsche 914 and now VW beetle, you should really concentrate to finish some of them….

Hi CT excellent start on the beetle ,patina perfect . Will look great with new floors and channels etc

Excelente trabajo el que estás haciendo, tremendo proyecto. Espero pronto el próximo capítulo.... Su fiel seguidor desde republica Dominicana.

so cool! i don’t remember ever having to use a rake to clean out a VW. thanks bro!

I like this series a lot. Suggestion: remove the hood. LOL. You remind me of myself - I'm always hitting my head on things!!

Dear Matthew, This beetle offers the most by the the value of scrap iron and hopefully some useful spare parts from the engine. It’s not worth to spend a lot of time to this dead metal. Even Rusty is in a better condition. We wish you, Cynthia as well as your complete family all the happiness of the world plus we send you ❤️ from the Netherlands. Best regards, Willeke and Dick de Graaff

Bah... Estava esperando por esse vídeo!!! Saudações brasileiras!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Excellent video CT :) amazing how much dirt and fluid save this car for also was no bad taking apart most certainly too ! Lots extra parts for got for any Volkswagen & Porsche projects agree 👍 to and help out too!

Let's all remember, " back on the road in a few weeks." Not going to happen, same b.s. we hear every time!!!!!!

Muito top tô ansioso para ver finalizado um grande abraço diretamente do Brasil.

I'd like to take back my earlier comment about just going with what works... to save time... like hanging from the winch... those rotisseries are amazing... and now you are all set for the next Beetle :-)

You have a 49:56 monumental Job ahead of u. I wish u lots of success on the project . ❤thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see the end result.

Dear Reader, It's like with someone who starts reading a book to you; you become dependent on the reader to finish the book. So I feel myself a little depending on Mr. CT to finish one of his projects. I can only hope he cleans this German rust bucket, and then finishes one of his half-ready projects, like the Ghia. A beautiful car and very rewarding when finished. But, of course, the initiative for the projects must stay with Mr. CT. And like Dick de Graaff, I also wishes Mr. CT and his wife all the success of the world. With Kind Regards, Michel F. van den Brun Dutchman, waiting and hoping for a project to be finished Post scriptum: reallocate the inflatable 'garage' to a sort of sandblasting cabin, would help all projects to derust easier.

Keep going!! I like your videos,,, best regards from sweden..

O boy, Good luck with that one.

Funny I was looking at this one in Marketplace Kinda fun to see someone else working on something I was thinking to pick up Have fun with it!!

Gotta love google watching over your shoulder. I'm about to go check out a '71 Beetle next week and now youtube is recommending me Beetle restauration videos.

Some suggestions for you… you can get the “plans” for a VW Beetle body dolly, from the guys over on VW Life. They did an episode about a year ago when they put one together for one of their members beetle body’s, on one they built, and the plans were linked in the description. Another suggestion… get the wider pedal assembly from classicbugparts. I love mine, it’s great for my fat feet. I also got the brake pedal instant brake light switch, to make the brake lights go on before the pressure switch at the master has a chance. One final suggestion… get the Brass shift rod bushing and install kit from ev4unow … vw-bushing, and don’t get the urethane one for the transmission end they are hard and disintegrate too quickly. Ok, sorry one more, for all these VW Porsches projects… DON’T cheap out on any rubber parts GET the German stuff, everything else just degrades. My build isn’t even a year back on the road, and the turn indicator rubbers, window scrapers, and many other parts are cracking & splitting, because I cheaped out and got Brazilian, Mexican and China parts, like an id10t. DON’T DO IT.

Great work😊

Parabéns pelo betlee ótima restauração

Hey there CT.well a creation of the beetle rust demon there my dear friend you get yourself a Major challenge as never before I`m sure. but knowing you now for many years I just can confirm CT never ever gives in for the Chalence he created❤, all the best CT love your determination and your diligence to get the best out of your abilities as always greetings from your buddy🇺🇸👍🏻 🇳🇱✌🇳🇴Hubertus. cheers🍺

Looks like fun to me, CT you can save it. The task will challenge your skills and you will be victories .

Great work and video😎💪

Great video.. keep it up!!

Saludos, Como Tú te encuentras en el Día de Hoy, soy nuevo suscriptor y seguiré viendo lo que estás haciendo sobre estas remodelación de estos vehículos, Gracias José 🇵🇷👍

Dude. Look man. Get you some welding gloves on and a mask and get you a mallet and a pry-bar and quit using your feet. Man, you only have 2 hands and 2 feet. You've got to take care of them. They make hammers and pry-bars and gloves everyday but hands and feet only come on babies. I'm confined to an old folks home and so I really enjoy watching your videos and would like for you to around for a long time😀❤🇺🇸🐘

Great video

Hey CT This bug is a challenge, which needs lots of time and money...

That will always be my fav SNL Farley skit of all time!!!! Is that Bill Shakespeare??????

it is like a archeological dig out for surprises 😍😍

Preserving the patina is cool.tells the story

Nice work CT

good job👍👍

Didn’t realize how handy pitchforks and rakes can be in automobile restoration.

O my God, that poor beetle is precisely bad, I'm sure of the final result. Greetings from Milan, Italy.

You are one brave soul. You have a lot of projects. I can't say shit. I have quite a few projects myself. Save another one.

Que top ...estou vendo sua recuperação do Fusca daqui do Brasil 🇧🇷..

You need a power washer, a long breaker bar, a torch for stubborn nuts, some liquid rusty bolt loosener, and a tetanus shot! A sandblaster with a compressor isn't a bad idea either. You can use the compressor for double duty and use an air gun for dismantling and building. Good luck! I cut my teeth on VWs. Can't wait to see you restore one! Cheers!

Well, one more iron has gone into the fire. The iron will probably remain with all of the other irons, however.

That is amazing the years of dirt and compost over the years😯

Good job. Ur hard worker

Total rust bucket. Is it worth it?

LOVED IT

Мужик интересное видео ,давай продолжение👍

It’s crusty but that patina is oh so good!

Nice dismantle..

Boa noite ,voces faz Belicimo trabalho ,sou do Brasil

Herbie has seen better days!

Bad ass video!

Man, you brought home some animal infestation... What if there were some living things in that pile of junk mixed with broken glass?! In something bit you? If there were stink bugs hidden in the bug? =) Da, many years of accumulation of dust, earth, leaves, rain, animal shit an piss.. Waw! I think you will need the blaster this time to get it clean.. lots of rust and decay. Anyway, keep on, we're watching you. Oh, and don't get carried away with the number of cars, keep track of your work or you'll become like me... =)

I think instead of starting another project it would have been wise to keep this one for the future of the channel while other projects were finished up

When will you finish the van? I've been following you for a long time. I'm waiting. I'm watching in Thailand.

You should sale a few of your other unfinished projects and get a rolling air ride chassis from airkewld. Slap the body back on and drive it like it is. New interior of course

Cut cut cut on removal. The reassembly is gonna be interesting to say the least.

Hi CT. I have rebuilt many beetles and even converted some into beach buggies. I have boxes of spares. Would it not be easier to disconnect pipes and cables so they can be used as samples to manufacture new pipes and cables? Good luck on your beetle project. I live in South Africa.

And I thought mine was rusted out! I'll never complain about rust again

It is healthy the way you toss EVERY fastener. :)

I fully belive that it will be a show room car.. Reg. Stig Österberg från Dalsbruk i Finland

Super interested to see this project move forward - have just bought a 1959 Beetle in similar condition - so will be following closely. Thanks for sharing your journey and knowledge

saya tunggu video berikutnya... 👍

That one doesn't make a good kit, but there is a lot of things you can tear off and take apart, have fun.

Wow that was a lot of work

I just hope you got some spares …..!

Awesome

Boa tarde carro bom de restaurar adoro fusca da menos trabalho de pintura funilaria mecani e um carro fácil de mexer com paciência fica lindo

Congrats 👏 very nice info, what's the. Size of the master cylinder bolt 🔩?

Hi CT, wow that was allot of nest in there. Cool too see it all apart and ready to clean up good. Once that motor is cleaned up pull the valve covers and the oil plug and screen. If just oil in there and not water and rust it may have a chance?

The most amazing thing about this project is your ability to breath and touch all that disgusting Stuff which is soaked with Rat urine for years.

Waouh from France...

What part of SCRAP didn't you understand?

I've enjoyed some of your programs, but I think it would be be best if you finished a restoration before starting another one.

Uh, she looks tired, poor girl.... What a cool project, good luck with it...!

I've only worked on one engine like that and there's a slim chance that you'll find the perfect rust converter that will work with the magnesium alloy that the vw engines are made out of. Steel piston rings rusted to corroded magnesium don't seem to have a recommended solution. You may want to check out RJ the bike guy - he's big on aluminium corroded to steel - apple vinegar may be the way forward....! If you could get the engine on an engine stand on it's side and pour in the rust converter after getting the cylinder heads off, you might be lucky - heat and a vibrating tool that you'd use to try to dislodge the rust on the piston rings. If the engine had enough oil in it, it shouldn't be the piston heads or their components - most likely just the piston rings. I haven't seen anyone try to use the electrolysis method for this - if the engine is still filled with oil a ionic solution poured into each cylinder and then the electrolysis may work - it might be about the craziest thing anyone has tried on VW videos on youtube for a while. I might think that a wooden frame over the engine and then driving a car on it to keep it stable while you use a 5 yard breaker bar with a couple of people hanging off it, trying to free up the engine would make quite good viewing, but so would trying each of these methods for a day or two when you're working on the chassis kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h89dp65iz92zXZ8.html

WOW Wunder full

You might want to have a video where you restore that chain hoist.

dang CT just a heavy duty flathead screwdriver did the job wow lol 😯
