- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2022
- Today we separate the body and chassis from the 1965 VW Beetle. It's been 57 years since this car was built new in the factory. It's been sitting in a field in South George for over 40 years. Let's see what happens!

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.
Because it is EASY...starting a project is the easiest part of any project... getting a vehicle...takes just $$... time is limited....experience is Zero.... once you get it home..then the Hard part begins....as you have to show talent and experience ..and patience.... as it takes time now...money is easy to give away...
Es lo que siempre dije, termina uno por favor....
🤣
Thanks Wayne, this 1965 Beetle will be back on the road in a few weeks. Stay tuned! =)
Because it's fun to watch you crybaby snowflakes whine and complain. No one's forcing you to watch the channel. Your tears of ultimate sadness are so yummy and delicious.
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!
Yes, it's all good. Everyone is right. I need to finish sometihng. I'm plan on having this one back on the road in a few weeks. Let's see what happens with the views! =) I don't have deep pockets. I'm broke...HAHA =) These cars are cheep. $800....I only purchase one or two a year. It's the new parts, tools and materials that add up. Yes, you are welcome anytime. Please reach out and let me know when you are coming. Thank you! =)😉😉😉
Exactly? how is he Trolling?? by what level do you consider responding in a obvious meaningless manner ( like it will get rebuilt soon )... having a realistic comment means nothing nowadays it seems...or watching someone do basic stuff and not proceed in a manner that shows experience and talent...and some desire to Finish 1 ..One vehicle.... haters is a stupid response...if you disagree it isn't about emotions or jealousy...it is an opinion.... yeah go act like your better than others by supporting someone without constructive comments.... how old r u? you must be a teenager still...lol
regardless of silly comments, it’s a tear down video of a classic beetle and I got my money’s worth😁
@@phluxed1 That's right Rich!!
@@garymallard4699 Cry more.
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!
Handling it with bare hands is also incredibly dumb. Gloves and a mask at a minimum for this level of biohazard.
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...
It’s always very satisfying to see such cars have a second life! Thank you!
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
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.
PIECE OF CAKE.......you got this.......a little welding and some rubbing compound and it will be as good as new.
Do you ever find yourself yelling at the tv while watching this? Lol.
🤣🤣👍👍
Thanks Mike! =) 😎
@@robertlambert5299 YES!!!!!!! I do.....ha ha. But how do you not love CT....he is such a good guy....
Thanks CT ! A lot of Fun ! Straight Ahead ✌😎
Thanks Mike! =)
Hi CT. Way cool Video! I’m amazed how much dirt and rust and stuff came of that bug! Wow🏁👍🍺🇺🇸
Thanks Graem!!! Yes, it was nasty!!! =) 👍
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.
Don't watch if it makes you so triggered.
-Yeah i see what you mean,,definitely at a standstill, ,Sometimes the truth hurts.
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
Super awesome build...just love the way that patina looks on the body...good luck with the rest of the build...
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.
Hi CT excellent start on the beetle ,patina perfect . Will look great with new floors and channels etc
I’m on a watching binge!👌😂👍I had to catch up! Very impressive!
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.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
so cool! i don’t remember ever having to use a rake to clean out a VW. thanks bro!
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 :-)
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 !
Do you think that you could finish one vehicle?
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.
Great work😊
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.
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.
Great video
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!
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!!
Hey Phil, Thanks manI! ! couldn't pass it up. I'm a sucker for the rust! =)
Bah... Estava esperando por esse vídeo!!! Saudações brasileiras!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Vamos ver se esse vai até o final, pq o Karmann Ghia eu não vi pronto.
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
du weist schon das sowas bei uns sehr wertvol ist ????? er ist vo 1965 mein geburtsjahr und 800 doller rechne mal um !!!!! ich wünsche dir noch einen schönen tag P:S: würde den SOFORD nehmen
@@frankherold474 Wertvoll oder nicht Ich besitze einen Cadillac Coupe de Ville Cabrio von 1969, den ich auch restauriert habe. In Europa sind kaum oder keine Ersatzteile zu finden, daher habe ich mir viele aus den USA schikken lassen. Am Ende lief alles gut und das Auto wurde gut an Leute verkauft, die es für Hochzeiten fahren wollten. Dieser VW-Käfer ist so gut wie durchgerostet und aus diesem Grund ist eine Restaurierung nicht zu empfehlen. Außerdem beendet Matthew leider nie ein Projekt
I like this series a lot. Suggestion: remove the hood. LOL. You remind me of myself - I'm always hitting my head on things!!
Keep going!! I like your videos,,, best regards from sweden..
Great video.. keep it up!!
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.
Nice work CT
Thanks John! =) 👍
Excelente trabajo el que estás haciendo, tremendo proyecto. Espero pronto el próximo capítulo.... Su fiel seguidor desde republica Dominicana.
O boy, Good luck with that one.
good job👍👍
Great work and video😎💪
Thank you 🙌
heater cable strikes again :).
That will always be my fav SNL Farley skit of all time!!!! Is that Bill Shakespeare??????
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😀❤🇺🇸🐘
Muito top tô ansioso para ver finalizado um grande abraço diretamente do Brasil.
Are you going to combined all your unfinished projects into one crappy one
Let's all remember, " back on the road in a few weeks." Not going to happen, same b.s. we hear every time!!!!!!
Preserving the patina is cool.tells the story
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 .
it is like a archeological dig out for surprises 😍😍
Yes, that's what it felt like! =)
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 🇵🇷👍
Good job. Ur hard worker
LOVED IT
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….
You forgot the dragon and the bronco as well 😂
Parabéns pelo betlee ótima restauração
Hey CT
This bug is a challenge, which needs lots of time and money...
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.
Thanks man! You can never have too many! =)
O my God, that poor beetle is precisely bad, I'm sure of the final result. Greetings from Milan, Italy.
Nice dismantle..
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
Мужик интересное видео ,давай продолжение👍
That is amazing the years of dirt and compost over the years😯
It's rat turds
Bad ass video!
Thanks Oscar!
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!
Awesome
It’s crusty but that patina is oh so good!
Didn’t realize how handy pitchforks and rakes can be in automobile restoration.
Yes, they come in pretty handy! =)
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
That makes too much sense. Jaaa. Hey watch my channel where I promise to finish. Jaa
Don't worry. I will be back on the 67 Karmann Ghia in a few weeks. Stay tuned!
No he won't. He said the same thing about the Dragon.
saya tunggu video berikutnya...
👍
Que top ...estou vendo sua recuperação do Fusca daqui do Brasil 🇧🇷..
I fully belive that it will be a show room car.. Reg. Stig Österberg från Dalsbruk i Finland
Well, one more iron has gone into the fire. The iron will probably remain with all of the other irons, however.
Wow that was a lot of work
Thanks David! Yes it was.....=)
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... =)
Herbie has seen better days!
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
Waouh from France...
WOW Wunder full
And I thought mine was rusted out! I'll never complain about rust again
Cut cut cut on removal. The reassembly is gonna be interesting to say the least.
Total rust bucket. Is it worth it?
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.
That one doesn't make a good kit, but there is a lot of things you can tear off and take apart, have fun.
It is healthy the way you toss EVERY fastener. :)
wow !!!
0 fks given with no gloves. Straight raw doggin’ through the rodent pizz and shiz. I respect your gangster, sir. 😂 love these old bugs!
Boa noite ,voces faz Belicimo trabalho ,sou do Brasil
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?
Hey Tim, yes, it was pretty bad. I'm going to take a closer loo at the motor tomorrow. Wish me luck!
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.
Sorta looks like my project. Keep it up.
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 th-cam.com/video/Qi-tK1jwO-k/w-d-xo.html
Waouh !
Hey CT love your channel had a thought on the bug you Ota do a herbie tribute that would be cool.
dang CT just a heavy duty flathead screwdriver did the job wow lol 😯
You might want to have a video where you restore that chain hoist.
Uh, she looks tired, poor girl.... What a cool project, good luck with it...!
Knight rider. 💯🏁😎
