I bought my Grandma a 1969 Bug for her birthday. -Another VW Channel (Part 6) (Ep. 12)
Hey Guys!
You may already know us. We're the same weirdos as The Siren's Log where we dive, fish, sail and are currently looking for our future sailboat. We had a short run of videos go viral and gained a good share of subscribers rather quickly, and then every time that we'd do VW videos after that, we actually lost some of you. We realized that there was no reason why we shouldn't share our unexpected VW reality over here with you, but only to the ones of you who love it. So here we are. Another VW Channel. A good ol spin-off from The Siren's Log.
Thanks for being here. Enjoy the show.

This week on The Siren's Log, I'll be touring you through and washing down my 1973 Kombi. If you enjoy our videos, please feel free to like this episode and subscribe to our channel! We have so much more to come!
I love the video Siren, very nice classic Volkswagen I hope I see more of you sitting in it like you are in this video. I also subscribed to your channel and I gave it thumbs up to this video 👍❤
She's really good with it for a first timer🙂
Awesome Bus.... Beep beep! Tech session again this weekend, hope to see ya!
Lol I loves this... Granny is a firecracker lol
I thought you looked familiar... hehehhe! Hi there!
Hi how much did you pay
I inherited my busses from my Grandpa who raised me.
Very cool! A friend/former coworker has a house he rents on SGI. I've thought about getting a VW van. I don't know if you know about the channel 'micbergsma' but he is restoring a VW van completely, it is quite amazing and he has 80 episodes. He is originally from TX but now lives on Maui and has had the van in CA being restored. He named it Kona. Very great guy and excellent channel. He mainly has done a lot of GoPro tips and some product reviews but he would do these summer compilation videos and they inspired my first two videos on my channel.
Oh that’s cool. Yeah I have another bus, an 82 diesel Westy that’s going to need a full restoration if I don’t do something with it quick. The rust is getting it.
@@AnotherVWChannel I worry that restoration is just too expensive. Mitch just posted a video a day or so ago where he is shipping his completed bus to Maui. It looks amazing but it had to be a metric ton of money!
$5000 was too much in my opinion, but you guys got a decent car.
Well action matters too. Florida is expensive for classic vehicles. When I was looking for an old truck, they were a dime a dozen out west with no rust, and only a few thousand. The same thing in Florida, covered in rust would literally be 10x more.
@@AnotherVWChannelonce Covid hit prices on classic VWs in Florida jumped fifty percent! Even now it’s hard to find a decent driver for less than $6k.
Post 1967 Volkswagens aren’t worth their weight in scrap metal.
Oh well!
If the rocker/valve covers are aftermarket items that could be the issue with the leak genuine factory originals should stop the leak I learned that lesson with a chrome Empi dress kit on my beach buggy I owned went for the billet rocker covers and cured it 😅
Yeaaaaah we try to buy OEM as much as we can. We actually have a local parts guy who occasionally sells us the real thing in a German box from the 70’s. Hahah Pretty cool.
When I started working on mine a vw couple told me that a beetle will test your strength, patience, and persistence to the max. At the end of all it the enjoyment and satisfaction will be rewarded
I dunno! I think that 82 Diesel I have has tested me the most! lol
i have reverse problems on mine i just push down once and it gets out of reverse fully or i wiggle it a bit and go into a few gears until 1st decides to work
Looks like a fun time with all the other VW Buses. Love to see them all grouped together :) We're heading out in our '68 Campmobile for the big Silvarado VW only campout next weekend in CA. Should be about 300 Buses in attendance. Great video, great tin top camper you have :)
Thank you!! And nice!! That’s sounds like so much fun!!
Blood Sweat and tears. Car magic
"I hear smokies got his ears on He's hot on your trail He's not gonna rest till you're in jail You gotta dodge him, you gotta duck'em You gotta keep that diesel truckin Just put that hammer down and give it hell!"
Hahaha That’s it.
Fun to watch, driving a Bug is a bit of a lost art form. My dad drove his 1969 Bug until age 92 and after he died at 100 I got it and have had a lot of fun driving it. Nice work!
Good for you!!!! That’s awesome. And good for your dad too! Hahaha They are super fun.
greeat bug lovely lady loveley smile
Thank you so much!
Been to the FYAO event. A lot of great people attend. I missed it this year, but plan to be there next.
We will see you next year!
She did great! Driving a manual is like ridding a bike.
I think it’ll come back! It’ll take her a few tries.
Sweet, drives pretty good. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for being here for it!! Yeah we did a ton of work to it. Fixed it up in the previous videos. Of course, Hal did all the mechanical work.
Great gift for grandma. She will have to get used to it for sure. A auto stick would be perfect for her. I had a 1969 auto stick. Easy to drive. Great video. 👍
Yeah I had to take what I could find though! Hahah I was budgeting $5k on the car and then we put a few more thousand into it rebuilding it. She drove a stick decades ago but I suspect she will do fine again after some practice. Thanks so much for watching!!
looks like Florida or somewhere near there. You need to bulletproof it before she is driving that car. put some disc brakes on it so they dont need adjustment every month. Pointless distributor so they dont all of a sudden close up then she might not be afraid to drive it.
Already done.
That's so rad. I wish I was your grammy. Lol
Hahaha
Thats AWESOME you guys!!!! I was getting teary eyed wishing my grandparents were still with us. Cherish the time with her!!
Awhhhh. Yeah, we've been away on our sailboat so I hope she's driving it a little bit!
You have an awesome grandma!
She is.
hahahah Thank you!! She's a hoot!
I laughed out loud with tears in my eyes. Remember with Grand parents, it’s the thought that counts. I have 6 Grands and my little grand daughter can find a special rock on the ground and give it me with excitement in her eyes, and I love that rock because she was thinking of me, You’re a good granddaughter! And a good driving instructor.😎👍
Awhhh precious. Yeah, I'm not a good driving instructor!!! hahahahah. But I try! I hope she drives it!
❤😍
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
The theme of this story has been, “what’s that rattling sound?” The whole time 😂😂😂😂 She’s either going to have a blast driving her new car or she’s going to have a blast telling everybody that you bought it for her. Either way, I think she likes it!
That's a good secondary name for the video! Hahahah Might squeeze it in there. Jeremy always had the good ideas. haha Thank you for all of your help with it!!!!
O my god, she's not driving manual transmission!? This is a big problem 😮
She drove a manual for years, it's just been a while.
She has! But she's had an automatic now for over 30 years so it'll take a few tries around the neighborhood to get it back. It's a really small town anyway. It would be hard to get into a wreck in that town. lol
Read the SHOP MANUAL...it's cheaper.
I have manuals out the wazoo. Cheaper how? Parts still cost the same. Plus I don’t think there is a manual that explains this but maybe I’m wrong.
The contacts under the steering wheel are probably corroded
Underhand, use your finger tips to open dóor
Oh believe me, I tried every way possible to open those doors, everyone stronger than me tried to show me “tricks”, even using two hands with all the force…. Nothing. I fixed them though!!! I can open them now.
@@AnotherVWChannel hit the gym lol
for better hand strength?! hahaha
The antenna usually goes upfront to the side of the bonnet
Not anymore! Hahahah I’ll put it there eventually. I’d have to carefully cut the paint up there to get the plug out and then move the wiring. Not a big deal, just gotta do it.
Steel wool will clean up chrome.
The cable is for the heat
Gumout will get the sludge out.
Synthetic High zinc is for break in of new motors. Old motors need conventional oil.
Yeah I feel like there’s a lot of debate on that one. At VW meet-ups it feels like everyone has a very strong, different opinion depending who you ask. Seems like it would be more straightforward.
Jess has been spoiled with EFI
What’s EFI
Ahhh right. I'll admit, I wasn't driving my VW's for a while when I was living out of the country. Always takes me a minute to get back into the swing of things.
Score, barely I to this video
You guys are my kind of VW people! Just figuring it out mostly as you go!
Hahaha Not much choice! lol
We just released the video of my grandma getting the car today! Don't miss it!
👍🏴 along for the ride
Thank you!! Glad to have you!
Looks fun. I’ve been to a VW Rally in Seattle and Denver. It’s amazing what people do to these old bugs and busses. I live in a Cowboy town in Wyoming, so I’m one of about 10 people who drives an old air cooled bus or bug. No VW Rally’s here. 😎👍
Hahah nice!! Yeah the little town Im from, where my grandma still lives, she’s now the ONLY old VW in town! Hahaha But to be fair we don’t have many in the larger town we live in but I’ve kinda kick started that club back up. This event is actually a few hours away where there’s a big community! Super fun!! We love going over there to join them. Always worth it.
Psychedelic! Groovy.😎
Thanks!!!
Tornados are rare in my part of Wyoming. I had several near misses in my 38 years of growing up in Texas. I’m a little worried about tornados on our trip to Florida next week. Glad y’all are safe..😎👍
Hahah Well, yeah they’re definitely prevalent here. But you’ll be fine!!! It’s still rare someone gets hit by a tornado on vacation. Hahah Where ya headed to in Florida?
Melbourne.😎
We just released the video of my grandma getting the car today!
Shift rod bushing kit should fix it up.
Stay tuned! Hahah Hal is working on that. He was halfway through it and we bought a sailboat so we switched gears for a few weeks. Hahah We have another channel called The Siren’s Log in case you wanna see where we are!
Yep ive been looking this is Jason B by the way@@AnotherVWChannel
My 78 VW Bus has the same problem. I have a new coupler and bushings to install. Everything in my bus that I haven’t replaced is 46 years old and subject to fail at any time. Have fun.😎👍
Hahah I reckon that’s how that works!
I drive a 1978 VW Camper Bus in Sheridan, Wyoming so naturally I had to take a look at your channel. I left Texas in 1990, to escape the heat and humidity. Even though I grew up in Texas, I’d rather freeze to death than burn to death. My daughter and her family moved to Florida to escape the snow and live near the beach. I told her I would visit when the Iguanas are falling out of the trees from hypothermia. My wife and I are driving to Florida in ten days to visit the family and see what Florida is like. Glad to hear it’s still cool.😎👍
Where a headed?! Florida is very diverse and it’s easy to get lost is the concrete here these days. True locals still know where to find the real Florida. Gotta admit, I’m the opposite!! Hahah I’d rather burn than freeze but I’ve done my time in Northern California and England so… I appreciate the cold sometimes too.
A comment for the youtube algorithm. Bought my first vw in 1978, It was a 1959 van. Never looked back as vws are awesome. Thanks for the videos. 👍
Nice thank you!!!! Do you still have VW’s now? What do you have?
Yes I still have VWs. Too many to list. All are old ones with exception of a couple Rabbits and 2 mid 80's VW Golf diesels. Thanks for the videos.@@AnotherVWChannel
We just released the video of my grandma getting the car today!
Dead frogs aren’t good helpers…
