I recently discovered your channel. I spent all day watching your video`s and I`m a huge fan. Your one hell of a mechanic. I was a mechanic for a few years before joining the Florida Highway Patrol when I was 25, I`m now retired and looking for a decent old VW beetle that`s all there to restore and drive. I love the old VW`s.
John Wingrider Best place to find restorable rust free bugs is the southwest Arizona, New Mexico Texas. I watch a VW shop in New York State that only works on air cooled bugs and he recently found a rust free 57 bug interior stripped ready for paint. Best of luck in your search. Retired in New Hampshire
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Brett Orion i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The more I watch these restorations I think the best thing to do is disassemble totally, Layout with all pieces together. The floor on these VW s is very important. Trying to work on a unibody together is a pain. This man needs a better shop he is very good at what he does. He loves making the past come alive original and I really appreciate that. Takes time for perfection. Any garage would love to have him in it. Thank you for inspiring young men to do it right and guiding them through the hornet nests. They are not junk to a true car lover. I have always loved Bugs. Best economical car ever produced. They are disappearing in chop shops and that is very sad. I had an old VW body once all was missing but I put it in the yard on the ground and just sat inside looking out gave me much pleasure just sitting and dreaming of the many VWs I once had and the stories of the rides. Beer and a stereo and memories with a friend. Dogs cats a few possums hang out in it also in the winter months. An excellent dog house. Ha Ha. I repaired many cars and sold them not much profit but much enjoyed meeting friends who loved old cars. Expensive to restore but some are worth it. VWs and Mustangs were my favorites. I could have easily just lived in a gas station all I loved was there.
I really dig your videos. I am a lifelong VW fan (except for new ones) and currently own 2 eurovans and a 68 bay window van. I appreciate your technical skills and your great sense of humor and wit. Thank you for what you do. I watch you daily.
Well, from way back here in the back seat I can say that I love this Bug! I was thinking today that I will never be without one of these little beasties. Thank you Mr Darrin.
Thank you Darren. Thanks for talking to us (the camera) like we are right there with you. Thanks for having the ability to do the things you do, and talk us (teach us) through your work. Thanks for being the funny guy you are (frozen turkey) and it shows that you truly enjoy your work. Hoping your Thanksgiving went splendid. Chuck in Kansas
A '65 Beetle was my first car as well. Can't forget that smell, which I understand comes from the material they used to cushion the seats. My next two cars, '73 and '74 VW model 181's (The Thing) had it, too. Wish I had kept them all.
Bruce, you are SO right! Back in '73, I had a '69, my brother in law had a '71, and my step grampa had a '65. They ALL had that distinctive aroma! A few years later, I had a '66, and then a '67. I believe it was probably the adhesive.
After watching all your vw videos I want one now! Lol Out of all the people I’ve seen work on vehicles, you have a lot of respect for other people’s things. That’s something that’s lacking in today’s world. Nice video man keep it up!
Jeez... grew up in a bug... looking from where the camera is on the road test and... wow... instantly brought up memories of the 62/9 we had (62 pan with a 69 shell built by dad who was a 25+ year vw mechanic).
Here in the UK my neighbour is a landscaper and he had a pile of grass cuttings in his truck instead of the leaves. He also had a police car right behind him and when they pulled him over their car was festooned ! they gave him a ticket and a lecture . . .
Too many memories. When installing the original VW tail pipes (exhaust tips) urban legend of the time (mid- 60's) instructed you to use a 3/4 in socket on a suitable extension to knock out the sound deadening material in the tail pipes. Supposedly increased the HP by 2% which on a 40hp engine was big! Carb jets were upgraded enlarged to those from a M-B Solex.
Well, it is a Volkswagen engine, it would not surprise me at all if it was running on 2 cylinders, broken camshaft or not. It wouldn't have been running WELL, but it could have been running. That's a great score on the diff. Sometimes even if you're looking for a rare part, if you just keep looking you can be lucky and score the part for a give-away price...
I missed my uncle’s 67 beetle 1300. That’s how I learned on how to drive, in exchange for washing it once a week. I’m now over 60 and wishing I could find one in good condition to drive around (bucket list). I’m a fan of yours!
Brings back some great memories. I owned a white 66 Bug with a red interior and a sun roof. Think I replaced every single part that was replaceable. Put 1600 cc bus engine in it. It would do 85 MPH. Unfortunately it was stolen and never recovered.
Hell, you can't fool me, that was a win on that VW motor for $60 D-man! That air cooled thermostat is worth every bit of what you paid for the engine and even the tin is worth what you paid. Your price point was dead on, though in fairness to the guy that sold it to you, it may have still been running... just on three cylinders! Great score on the rear diff for the Tundra... sometimes things just fall into your lap!
I dont think the engine is a loss really, as you said its worth the parts, strip it and dump the dead bits :-). Well done on the differential :-D, i bet the slip part can be plopped in without much trouble :-D. Nice grey beetle, its got a few bits wrong, but it looks like it will be a dream to work on, being so clean and nothing should be seized. My mate has an old car, the window is sticky on that too, ive messed around for hours trying to make it easyer to close, its more of a pain than i thought it would be, silicone spray helped.
Back in the day, I drove a 67 in SF. For exterior locks and stuff- I would let WD-40 fight it out with the salt fog. On window felts, I used one of those little toothpaste tubes with graphite powder that locksmiths sometimes use on this and that.. with a modicum of success. And less smears on the glass that you get with oils and silicon gels. When the clutch exploded, I went to someone like yourself, who knew about such things!
I turned down a 1987 blazer today the guy said the clutch was dragging but on closer examination the throw out bearing was shot the clutch plates were worn down to nothing and it just had way too much body damage but the interior was clean lol So I said thanks but no thanks too much work for me. That body looks great on that VW and the interior so the linkage is messed up on the wipers and it needs flex in the brake lines no real bad fixes. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so so much ,i cant explain how much i needed this , i striped my beetle about 1year ago and then became ill .This has refreshed my mind and i can keep going back to it , regards Kevin
Curtain track lube works great on that stuff...Slippery without being wet...A busted cam..the sneaky little bugger...Good score on the diff center Darren.
That's something I've learned over the years. If I drop something small I don't try to catch it. I just intently watch it fall. Trying to catch it either results in missing it completely or, worse, flinging it across the room.
Nice VW. And I hope the reardiff will fit the Tundra. I think it's safe to say that a couple of thousand fans are eagerly awaiting that vid....best of luck to you, Sir!
I messed around with VW,s back in the 70,s, I used to remove the flaps in the air shroud , remove the choke, use a paper air filter, and change jets, plus add an after market exhaust, and a oil filter kit, never had a problem until you mix lifters and cam shafts
I was able to improve the window operation greatly on my 2000 CRV by lubing the window track felt with dow corning silicone oil, 1000 centistokes viscosity applied with cue tips running over all the glass touch points. This freed up alot of friction and allowed the power windows to operate normally.
I would check the hardware store for bronze bushing that would fit into the replacement lever arm. find a press fit or turn them on the lathe down for press fit, then drill and ream inside diameters for slip fit onto the shaft. Win some and lose some. Good rear end parts find. VW motor well you got so parts and that is what you priced it at instead of taking someonew word about condition. You just need to do the research before paying the price they ask. Keep up the good work on the very informative videos.
I miss my '64 with a sun roof. Dad while in the Army won a lottery in Germany right after the war to be able to buy a car. US Soldiers were not allowed to own cars then unless of course you won that lottery. He bought a Beetle.
I just watched the after video first....kind of takes away from the whole procedure....but all vids are chock full of new ideas and now I'm getting to know more about VW bugs.Almost just like when I first started learning about Farnicastaffs
60 bucks for an engine is not a win but not a loss either. At least you scored on the rear end for you Tundra. Now I remember that when my VW beetle clutch would do what yours is doing it is a bad sign and was about to go out.
Hi musty I worked with a glass shop Auto Glass and house glass and when Windows got sticky like that even with new stuff the best thing that you could use on it was pure silicone spray on just a hint buddy maybe it'll work for you it did for me and my boss shared that with me 50 years in the business cheers brother
Just like my first car I bought 1975 ;D color and all. Even the bumpers which were not normally like that in european models. I'm addicted to Your videos ;D
Hey I work on 2 cycles weedeaters blowers chan saws I had shop but I had to move and don't have my shop any more they called me the weedeater Doctor I love your videos I miss it very much ty.
it is always the $$$ guys - let's make more :) As always , I do like your videos :) I used to have a 65 like yours. Every 50k miles, #3 would go bad now we have Mitsubishi's and NO problems !! I wish you were here when I was in H.S. making stupid steel hammers.
I watched ETCG wrestle with getting the shimming right when he rebuilt his Ford 8.8" differential for his Fairmont "Q-ship" project. Search for Ford 8.8 on his channel. The reason for all the work was that he's going to put a lot of power through it AND wanted limited slip that I don't believe it had. I'm just putting this out here in case it's useful.
I'm going with bad lifters on the " ran great when parked/pulled" for the win. Like you said if the cam was wiped out it would show on both sides (1-3). if the cam broke in half I don't think no 1 would show movement.
Barn find motor with an old style no fresh air heater fan housing, no place to attach hoses to heat exchangers! Should not have heat exchangers but the 30HP style lower heat/air boxes with flaps to open/close for heated air.
If those slides for the windows never contacts the glass, and they shouldn't on that, a oldtimer had me use wheel bearing grease on them, clingy as h**l and stays put and lubricating in all kind of temps and under all kind of conditions.
Yo m u s t i e JT here what do you want it's a 50 year old car not bad for 50 year old car there must you must admit it you have a great night musty take care buddy
IIRC, round boss heads were October 1964 and earlier. We know how they are harder to find. Was fun guessing with the rockers on and happy when did pull the rockers to see if was right. Got me wondering why the camshaft snap. Will keep going though to the newer.
Yep, I feel the same way... I always say "More Mustie = more better" I've been subbed to him for something like 6 years and it's always been like that for me. My favorite project has to be the Crusty single cab and he did a BUNCH of long videos for it.
MostlymoparIH Brother, there is nothing so great for me on YT as a Mustie vid in my subscription box... and that goes for that peek fella too! Hahahaha!
Yeah your not watching and saying now why did he do that, oh that's right it's a peek thing. I like watching too sometimes I don't have the time. I liked the Satellite and Mustang vids and his small engine repair vids. He does a lot of stuff. Good to hear from ya Brother hope all is well in Nevada and ya get some rain.
if it hasn't been mentioned, try cutting a piece of pvc into a ring, then cut a notch in the ring to hold position while replacing door handle pins. then just pry away pvc ring when finished

My 1st car was a 66 vw. I really liked it in snow but not the 6volt system. Awesome vlog. Ron
Lee, my second bug was a '66, I had a 12 volt battery on the other side, under the back seat, to power my 8-track!lol
Big win and small win in my mind. Thanks for taking us along, Mustie.
...YA GOTTA TAKE THE BAD WITH THE GOOD!!!
This is crazy! When you sat down in that bug, I could literally "smell" my old '65. The mind is a wonderful thing.
A '65 Beetle was my first car as well. Can't forget that smell, which I understand comes from the material they used to cushion the seats. My next two cars, '73 and '74 VW model 181's (The Thing) had it, too. Wish I had kept them all.
...I THINK YOU MEAN "IMAGINATION"(?)
Bruce, you are SO right! Back in '73, I had a '69, my brother in law had a '71, and my step grampa had a '65. They ALL had that distinctive aroma! A few years later, I had a '66, and then a '67. I believe it was probably the adhesive.
Hey Bruce Morton.... I’m Bruce Martin and I could definitely smell that bug too... my VW for 35 years was a 72 bus/camper ...
Almost 40,000 people in the back seat of a Bug...gotta be a record!!!
Lol over 200,000 now
I love the SIMPLICITY of this car, sound👍, really driving a real car!
Bug really looks cherry for having numerous mechanical issues. Beautiful!
After watching all your vw videos I want one now! Lol Out of all the people I’ve seen work on vehicles, you have a lot of respect for other people’s things. That’s something that’s lacking in today’s world. Nice video man keep it up!

My Dad had a red 1966 bug when I was a kind. This car brought back some memories for sure.
Congratulations; as always things seem to end right side up for you. I adore the VW bug, lots of good memories. Good to see you back on line.
You make me want to buy a VW. Great teaching video as usual.... Mike
Me too. I don't know why but since I found his VW videos I really want an old VW now.
Hell, you can't fool me, that was a win on that VW motor for $60 D-man! That air cooled thermostat is worth every bit of what you paid for the engine and even the tin is worth what you paid.

50 bucks. Holy frig. That was an absolute score. Mustie for the win.
2:56 oooh Mustie, we all saw you getting blinked at for going 31 in a 30 mph zone!
I had a 65. I loved that car. It had the small engine 1200 or 1300 cc whatever it was. Would run all day on a couple of bucks work of gas. Same color.
My first Beetle was a '66 6-volt in the same yellow that the one you showed originally was. Trip down memory lane!
Extremely interesting and calming, watch at my night job while I'm doing paperwork, informative and not obnoxious
Thank you so so much ,i cant explain how much i needed this , i striped my beetle about 1year ago and then became ill .This has refreshed my mind and i can keep going back to it , regards Kevin

Leaving leaves on the roadway will leave your pocketbook lightened by upwards of 2 grand and you get the leavings here in Ontario.

Again, Nice video (always love the VW videos), thanks for taking us along on your work day. Gary in Michigan.
thanks gary, there should be more vw next week
Nice VW. And I hope the reardiff will fit the Tundra. I think it's safe to say that a couple of thousand fans are eagerly awaiting that vid....best of luck to you, Sir!

That roof rack is a killer! Great car. Great work Mustie
I had a 66. I'd love drive one again, maybe even own one again.
...YA CAN'T HOLD ON TO YESTERDAY-!!!
@@daleburrell6273 Yes I can hold onto yesterday. I'm going to live forever too. On that, so far so good. :-)
@@joewoodchuck3824 ...YEAH, RIGHT-!!!
Ha reminds me of my youth growing up in Brasil the only car i ever own and really enjoy to drive and work on it love your vids

Thats exactly the year i owned 50 years ago. Id love to see one again.
That diff was a steal! Good job!
Great episode for an old VW and Toyota truck owner. Would love to know more about replacing the window "felt" and rubber wipers.
Hi musty I worked with a glass shop Auto Glass and house glass and when Windows got sticky like that even with new stuff the best thing that you could use on it was pure silicone spray on just a hint buddy maybe it'll work for you it did for me and my boss shared that with me 50 years in the business cheers brother
dry bike chain lube (is clear liquid and then drys) works great on window tracks... get it at Walmart in bike section:)
You sure put a lot of faith in that hydraulic lift, crawling like you do all under with a load on it.
has a built in safety
Just like my first car I bought 1975 ;D color and all. Even the bumpers which were not normally like that in european models. I'm addicted to Your videos ;D
running my ass!!! It's not nice to lie to Mustie!!! love the video!
My first car was an old "67"..... heater boxes gone and front hood dinged from highway gravel.
Freedom , like winged Pegasus .
I like it never had one . Every English car . GREAT CHANNEL Man!!!
Hey Mustie1, I look at both of those as a win, one can never have enough vintage spare parts!!!
Hey I work on 2 cycles weedeaters blowers chan saws I had shop but I had to move and don't have my shop any more they called me the weedeater Doctor I love your videos I miss it very much ty.
good find! They're addictive though...down to 1 (from 5), a 67 Convertible w 1776 jugs, ect!
it is always the $$$ guys - let's make more :) As always , I do like your videos :) I used to have a 65 like yours. Every 50k miles, #3 would go bad now we have Mitsubishi's and NO problems !! I wish you were here when I was in H.S. making stupid steel hammers.
That is a nice looking car, thank you for the ride.
I had made a rear rack somewhat like this. Mine was lower, likely supported down below and on the upper sides - worked nicely.
your right on in keeping the old wiper assembly I always put in new seals
another great video. glad you got lucky. cheers
you have so many things on the go mate , one day your gunna end up with a VW engine in a tundra or something wiered !! great vid as always .
cheers
no but l did plan on using it for something other then a vw.
From the cabin the engine sounds phenomenal.
Great bug. Learned to drive in one .
At least it was the leaves and not trash. I had seen truck like that shedding trash once.
Wow Mustie,she is a Beauty,and really pristine.Hell she's worth having even with a few issues that,I'm sure you could easily figure out :)
Nice VW! Good deal on the CL engine.
I watched ETCG wrestle with getting the shimming right when he rebuilt his Ford 8.8" differential for his Fairmont "Q-ship" project.
Search for Ford 8.8 on his channel. The reason for all the work was that he's going to put a lot of power through it AND wanted limited slip that I don't believe it had. I'm just putting this out here in case it's useful.
Great score on that diff for the Tundra ! That looks to be a LS unit. The open diffs have large portals and the spider gears are out in the open.
thats what it ended up being an lsd.
21:00 min mark. There's that favorite bent box end wrench!
A frozen turkey he says that's funny. Nice score on the dif👍
My last boss had one just like that with factory air....looked brand new.
What a gorgeous car!
Great score in the tundra rear diff 👍👍
I'm going with bad lifters on the " ran great when parked/pulled" for the win. Like you said if the cam was wiped out it would show on both sides (1-3). if the cam broke in half I don't think no 1 would show movement.
true but perplexing as to whats wrong
Barn find motor with an old style no fresh air heater fan housing, no place to attach hoses to heat exchangers!
Should not have heat exchangers but the 30HP style lower heat/air boxes with flaps to open/close for heated air.
The very same car I learned to drive when I was 12. Good times.
I.m past my bedtime; your fun to watch and ponder the next move you ENDURE!
If those slides for the windows never contacts the glass, and they shouldn't on that, a oldtimer had me use wheel bearing grease on them, clingy as h**l and stays put and lubricating in all kind of temps and under all kind of conditions.
To lubricate window slides use powdered graphite, works a treat, I've even had success with nasty, poor quality Ford products.
Yo m u s t i e JT here what do you want it's a 50 year old car not bad for 50 year old car there must you must admit it you have a great night musty take care buddy
Good on you Darren, luck of the draw on that one. Sometimes you just gotta take that chance. --Jason
IIRC, round boss heads were October 1964 and earlier. We know how they are harder to find. Was fun guessing with the rockers on and happy when did pull the rockers to see if was right.
Got me wondering why the camshaft snap. Will keep going though to the newer.
Already reliving my childhood with a new bug convertible now i want a classic!
Make the VW motor a half size motor sell it for an ultra lite motor. Great video.
Subscriber 24182. . . great vids. . . seem to enjoy your longer videos more tho.
Yep, I feel the same way... I always say "More Mustie = more better" I've been subbed to him for something like 6 years and it's always been like that for me. My favorite project has to be the Crusty single cab and he did a BUNCH of long videos for it.
Mostly Mustie mostly better.
MostlymoparIH Brother, there is nothing so great for me on YT as a Mustie vid in my subscription box... and that goes for that peek fella too! Hahahaha!
Yeah your not watching and saying now why did he do that, oh that's right it's a peek thing. I like watching too sometimes I don't have the time. I liked the Satellite and Mustang vids and his small engine repair vids. He does a lot of stuff.
