Thats a nice setup.

Great Job. Money well spent.

you got really lucky on this car next to no rust in the chassis hope the rest of its good too

Looks good. 👍 One step closer.

Awesome video!!!!!!! I enjoy all of your videos:)❤

Hello Trixed out, I have the same blaster. I left it portable so I could use it on my vdub body. I need to get a both for smaller parts.

😮Omggggggg ! 😮 If your goal was to make a fire engine envious .. Mission Accomplished ! 😏gigglesnortgiggle 😂 Thanks for sharing this plumbing masterpiece 🤩.. We Love It ! ! 😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

A pair of 5/16 or 8mm bolts would have been more than adequate. Actually, as I am sitting here typing this reply it occurred to me that 4 short 5/16 or 8mm bolts and nuts would be the best solution for a bolted join. The very best would be to weld the angle iron pieces to the engine stand. I would not want to use this stand with a V8 engine with 4 holes drilled in the pivot tube so your idea of selling the stand in the future is compromised.

Here is a tip for the ideal VW engine stand. Get on that has 2 lower legs. Summit has a decent one, PN 918014 , $124.99 at this time. . The double legs means that there is easy access to put the engine on the stand. A hydraulic lift table works best and they are also awesome for R&R’ing the engine in the car. No more precarious balancing on a floor jack.

Nice job.

Any chance for a slow down video.

Very well done my friend! That one was a bugger I can't believe how tight that was. Please be careful with getting gear lube and oil and chemicals on your skin. Please wear latex gloves my beautiful friend. A friend passed from blood cancer from that ❤❤❤❤

Hi Trish. Haven't had a chance to watch and comment lately, but I got caught up yesterday. Great video. As someone else mentioned, it looks like the floor pans are in really good shape. Do you know if they've been replaced in the past? I really admire you patience and perseverance with this project. I'm not sure if I could do it. Meaning I don't have the patience. This car really will be a labor of love when it's done. My car (Beetlejuice) is finally in paint, and I'm hoping reassembly will start within the next week or so. Hopefully that will go quickly since my car is supposed to be highlighted by Just Buggin' at the huge Bug Jam Festival in November in FL. That's if I can get my part done after I get the car back. As I mentioned before, I was lucky that my car was 98% rust free. I was also fortunate that I was able to get a "frame on" restoration done professionally at a cost I can live with. But part of me is a little envious that I wasn't in a position to do it myself like you are. Oh well, it is what it is. I hope to be driving it in late October. When you get to the body work and interior work I'll share a few things I learned. The hard way. Can't wait for the next video.

Just bought this same blaster- I'm generally extremely good at assembly, but this thing is very difficult to figure out assembly order and getting all the handles facing the correct directions so they aren't hung up is a PIA. The manual has crap diagrams and a conflicting cover photo that shows a different setup. This video would be helpful, but it WAY TOO FAST! Even at the slowest speed I cant really see the pieces and the correct orientations. Is there any way you could post this at a less accelerated speed?

Good video, Pan is in good shape. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go the expensive route. What is the cost of blasting where you are?

That little bit of fur on the plug is actually really good. :-) looks to be in great shape. The difference in shades is simply due to age and usage. As long as you don’t see any chunks you’re in pretty good shape :-)! Glad to see you are still at it :-) Like stated above, it looks like your cables are in great shape. The stuff made “overseas“ is going to cause you a lot of frustration. When you go to putting this back I guarantee it…. Unfortunately that’s the way it is pretty much with most of the parts we get nowadays. You will have to spend sometimes and in ordinate amount of time and effort to get those parts to fit. Again, I will reiterate what I said, in the very beginning, if the original German stuff can be used over, use it in every case! Keep at it :-)!

Thank you!

Great job!

I was wondering if you would come around on the sandblasting! You have some rust, but overall it looks pretty solid! Also, I appreciate your camera techniques (inset videos and the signs separating each step). Good luck with the project....

Save all the parts you removed off the pan, to compare to the new parts. Sometimes the new parts don't fit like the old ones. Some of the old cables you removed, are still good for another 50 years of service, with some fresh grease.

It’s always good to see your new updates!

Thank you!

what capacity and the brand of your compresor for your new abrasive blaster?

You might need to put the flywheel back on, to remove the crankshaft pulley, when the time comes.

Sure you know this. On the small, rusted bolts, six-point wrench small taps with a hammer in both directions and PB Blaster. Big tools and small bolts equal broken bolts.

Excellent Job on the conversion. Great to see you wearing a face shield when using the cut off wheel.

Nice job. On the flywheel lock tool, you can replace the nut with a wing nut. To make it easier to use the tool. The 3/4 breaker bar is nice tool to have. I have the same tool.

Very nice! was wondering how you would lift that engine on the stand. Great job

I know exactly what you’re talking about… When you’re talking about the satisfaction of actually doing it after the years of research :-)! I spent about two years watching videos, and researching how to paint a vehicle and after doing it a couple of times it was pretty amazing! glad to see you are still at it!

Another great job, I agree it’s fun and rewarding to actually be doing what we’ve been watching on TH-cam

😲😲😲

Thanks for posting this video!, great idea for my sandblasting cabinet too!, I send you a like, and I subscribe to your channel too.

OMG, you've gone WAY beyond any disassembly I would attempt. You have my respect. I can't stop watching, waiting to see what's next. You're amazing!

Enjoy your channel immensely. I had a brand new 1971 Super Beetle. It would be a dream yo own one again.

Great vids. Love that you credit Slades content too. Suggestion for small parts cleaning, especially carbs - Ultrasonic Cleaner (USC). I use a wide mouth glass jar or plastic jar like what nuts are packed in. Wide mouth is key. Wire mesh tea leaf balls to hold small small parts. I put Simple Green or Seafoam in the jar with parts, and distilled water in the Cleaner. The jar just barely floats in the water thats in the USC. Strain the used Simple Green through a coffee filter and keep reusing it. Stay gold.

Great informative video!

I wouldn't cut a hole in the tunnel, near the pedal assembly, unless you need to. Just my opinion. The floor pans, look like they're in great shape.

Best fastener ever: "Clips and grossness".....:)))

Would have preferred voice over to the music, but a great video nonetheless.

These videos are fantastic! I love your can do spirit. SUBSCRIBED!!! It’s so refreshing to see you figuring things out in real time. I’m doing my own research to fix a bug up for my daughter’s first car and you’re giving me the confidence to go for it. Your enthusiasm for successfully removing a tough bolt is infectious, in a good way! Keep at it and thanks for sharing with the rest of us!!

Love this video! Every other video I can find has too much talking and I don't need to hear somebody explaining stuff ! I'm going to look to see if you have other videos, great job and thank you!

Well done. Very nice and excellent job. Thanks for your share and guide

So good to see you back! I’ve been wondering what happened to you. Good to see another update. You’re in good company on the challenge you faced with disassembling your struts. Just about everyone else that’s posted videos of strut removal on their channels were able to remove the three bolts with a 3/8” ratchet and then the three parts just fell apart. I ended up buying used spindles on eBay as I couldn’t get mine to separate (even after ruining my wood chisels trying). Just a tip for future reference… SnapOn sold a purpose-made brake adjustment tool for getting to the adjustment Star wheels on the front brakes on ‘71-‘72 Super Beetles. I picked one up on eBay and it’s a game changer for adjusting the front brake shoes. Great video and loved the music from Carmen!

I'm loving watching you disassemble your Bug. I think I saw all this in John Muir's book page 212!😉 The videos are more entertaining.

Great video! Love watching your project.

When you get ready to install the new brake metal lines and hoses. Get yourself a set of metric flare nut wrenches.

🤩Oustanding Progress ! 🤩 Pencil yourself in a raise ( but make sure you use pencil )*gigglesnortgiggle* 😂 😇❤

Glad to see you’re back at it. I wish I had your organizational skills. Ha! I only straighten up when I can’t find things. lol!

Love new Old Bug videos!!! Thank you lol

Keep up the good work lady!! Hope all is going well, and that you are getting things done even in spite of this current heatwave… We’re now in mid June :-)! Take care!
