What do yall think? 74 super beetle. Good?, Bad? What direction should i go on it?? Feel free to leave a like, sub, shoot even give me a recommendation on the old car. Thank you for all for the support

I watched this with fond memories of the resurrection of my 73 super beetle about 8 years ago. nothing like finally firing one up for the first time in ages. I drove mine to the store today.....

Glad you're back with more great content!

Love them VW...Glad to hear your fixing her up. It was a great vidio. Looking forward to the next one!

I owned a 74 super beetle back in the 80’s and just learned about the seatbelt interlock watching your video. I figured the ignition was bad so I just jumped the starter.

After you find all the things about that bug you will either hate it or love it. Most people will love it. It is the easiest car you will ever work on. The dash wiring is behind the plastic cover under the front hood, very easy to reach.

Grateful for another great video and resurrection! Keep up the good work. Might wanna check the valve lash on the bug in the future. It's a PITA but you need all the ponies you can get outta the little guy lol. Another budget paint job with some wicked pinstripes 🤔????

Thanks for sharing dude!

I think your 1974 Super Beetle have bad spark plug cable. They wear out after 100,000 miles. Thank you and you are experienced electrician.

Love the car. Subscribed because of it. Keep it up ☺️

Too bad the station wagon has no brake lights! Good going on this one also.

Excellent

That's a real cool car

Watched a guy on tv fix up and old one. Was gonna repaint it but he was told it was better with original patina. That’s how people want them.

Good job 👍

I left a ‘72 Super Beetle for dead on The streets of Boston 1977. it was pretty beat up.

Awesome vid bud I want a bug but I have a 03 gt

You have an understanding of electrical better than I do, and I was a tech for many years.

Cool little Slug Bug! Lol

You should get that Duster or Demon you showed on your junkyard video that car was in great shape inside and out. They are very popular and would be great for your channel and a money maker to flip.

It shouldn't more at all

The straight pipes without muffler to the 1974 car on boxer running motor 1600cc Can be loud but run at not more than 1,500 rpm in street driving can be quiet because brand new engine is 4 times louder than used motor but if you know that it rev very high then it would pitch too loud and making the stator in generator or coil in alternator with external regulator under rear seat into too high current power.Resonator will make the motor to run not tacking.

I like the Volkswagen design and the simplicity of them but would much rather drive that pretty blue wagon!😁

CORRECTION The parts from rock auto for the Bug were exactly only $401.27 with shipping.

Here in Australia these were known as the Volkswagen "L".

I heard that a can is positive electrode that produce out of charged current and The can energize thru circuit until the can became rust and radiant from acid and boron acid like alkaline can be potential differ from ground that is saturated with anti acid and baking soda about 1/100 teaspoon and alkaline water then the electrolyte start to come up when in connect to 'ON' position with load live current from Positive anode and electrons flow to cathode negative. It was charged up by modern battery 9 cells or cans.

When you get parts use cip1,Wolfsburg west and use west coast metric.these cars don’t like cheap parts.I try to use as much German on my bugs as I can

gute arbeit💯👍hoch

There all good: it's a VW. what it all comes down to, you have a diamond you found in the rough. how much is it worth to you... In the world of auto manufacturing, it is one of the most sought after these days: Parts can be had for it all around the world. OEM parts. as for the ticking sound, typical, but I'm not there, those heads are known for getting a lose value seat or plural, in other words getting beat down in to the head, if you have a loss one and after it is adjusted and it happens again, pull the head, or pull both heads and get them cleaned up. or exchanged for fresh heads: or buy a new head, simple, as for the rust, new metal, your welding skills will vastly improve if your a serious about making it right: but do not mess with the serial number tags. the state gets really touchy about people messing with them.

Valves need adjusting every 3000 miles, VW 's run hot and need oil changing every 300 miles but all we had was 30 oil etc ,,, synthetic oil would holdup better.

you're exactually correct in calling it lubrican.

Them oil motors every time you change oil in them adjust the rocker arms they get loose over time

Just putting it out there, you need to run zinc in your oil because of the non hydraulic valves. You can also run diesel oil with zinc already in it. I don’t know if yours is the engine with out an oil filter but if it is you might be better off to run diesel oil because it has zinc and a better detergent package. I personally would run 15-40 it’s a little bit thicker it won’t thin out as bad in the summer with the higher engine temperatures it being air cooled.

If you can feel and hear the end play, the engine needs a rebuild! That sounds terrible on video

Here is one thing you can do. You can sell it to me.

The ticking sound is normal. You may want to adjust the valves but be sure you do it to specs. It will still have a ticking sound. There is a short piece of hose between the gas tank and solid fuel line coming to the engine. As old as it is that is more than likely where your gas went. You are doing well with the bug.

There's too much play In Crank pulley

Wagon needs brake lights but I'm sure you know but drive it without anyways.

make a baja buggy or strip it and make dune buggy

Chat to musty1 he's the wizard on old vw stuff can get most things running .but keep going it's worth the fight
