Awesome video and ur very correct its always something with a vw lol also the time laps was a great addition as for me I like seeing the work being done and u are good with ur left hand but maybe use the tripod more in those situations. Keep up the great work and videos. Oh and I always hit the like button at the beginning of ur videos cause I know 1 way or the other its gonna be a good one :)
Tripod not always possible, too close of quarters, and its certainly not as mobile. It gets used when it can be, though! Thanks so much for always watching! I appreciate it! Lots more to come, update on the Fastback tomorrow at lunch time!
I liked the time lapse video. You don't need to see every turn of the wrench. This reminds me of a brake job I did on my dune buggy. How does the song go..."one thing leads to another".
My first vw was a 68 fast back. The first one i got to drive was a 75 rabbit. I loved that car until the transmission went out. The people that used to have never checked the transmission gear oil. I was driving it and it hung up in third gear.. It was red with white interior and a 4 door.
When a job goes right from start to finish it makes me feel like jack shit. Let's face it ,that dosn't happen often enough. Looking forward to this one, good luck.
Your new camera looks great, you could turn the music down a little bit and add some light to the area you're working on so we can see. I am curious to see how you're going to fix that one
Do you have enough space to put a jack and piece of 4x4 from underneath the body and raise it up on both sides. That way you don't have to cut and weld.
Take a Jack and a four by four board and jack the floor up from the bottom and maybe it will bend it back up enough to work? Its worth a try. That just how stuff goes for me too. LOL
I mentioned that in another comment, but a modification to the subframe won't fix the crushed rear end. I'll just fix what is broken and make it right! 😀😀😀😀 Next video shows more, it goes up tomorrow morning, tonight for Patreon members. duckshit.net
The music I use has credits in the video description, always! I have not gotten to look for the tin bits yet, we'll see what happens, probably gonna make some.
I would try one those cheap little stock car screw Jack's from the flat tire kit wedge it between the motor and floor and jack it up I keep 3 or 4 in my shop at all times get them at u pick for cheap they got 100 uses
Well the heads are aluminum, the cylinders are cast iron, and the case is magnesium everything is covered with sheet metal... hit the fan housing on this engine is also magnesium. All brittle or delicate stuff.
The mounts are fixed stock position, I used OEM ones... lol. The one I "made" was OEM from a Beetle, it only had a couple of spacers, actually, no height was changed. I did think of spacing the entire subframe further under the car,, it would be easy on a Type-3, the whole rear end comes out with only 5 bolts removed! But that would he hacky. Tomorrow's lunch video shows what I found when I started digging around after I finished this video.
I probably would not sold the 67 FB if I would have bought the Weber center mount kit 120$ back then I could not get them right - thats how I came across it, the first owner had a oil leak , took it to a shop . They talked him into overhauling the engine and told him 450 , well it turned into 900 and lost most of the power. He got tired of taking it back and sold it to me 900 . to recover the overhaul money . I found a low compression cyl. took out the motor and it had a cracked head , could not find the right head had to replace both , but notice they had put dish down low compression pistons . I fix the compression good but it still didnt run right . Me and the old owner realized they must have kept the old carbs because these had damage to them and they were the only ones that touched it , I went out and bought some used ones spend about 240 bucks but it still = NO POWER = so i sold it ?
The center mount Webers actually aren't very god for Type-2 or 3. They don't have preheaters in the middle and don't fit well in the engine compartment of the Type-3 at all. They are also a disaster to try and tune. These FRDs that I have are great, though! Just need good linkage to keep them in tune!
Everyone keeps complaining about having to adjust dual carbs. Why or what causes this? I never hear of other car manufacturers needing to keep adjusting on a regular basis. When you sync dual carbs do you need 2 syncro tools to adjust them? Maybe if you ever get caught up do a video on how dual carbs work. This is why I stay clear of duals. Your carbs tops looks awsome though. To bad you can't see them like a bug. Thanks for the video on the duals.
Not a whole lot of other factory cars use dual carburetors the same way as a flat-4 does. \Long linkage components that bend easily and lots of moving parts prove more points for adjustment and more for failure. Thats the beauty of this hex bar kit... the long moving parts are heavy and don't bend, and the smaller parts on the ends require shorter adjustments. Its not difficult, but can be a little tricky to get them in sync properly if you don't know what you're doing. I have it down to a couple minutes and done. I used to not have a problem at all, but it gradually became a real pain in the ass, tired of getting dirty when all I wanted to do was go to the store! No longer do I wish to deal with the nonsense from the system that I had which I think kept bending or twisting on its own. The carbs are great, the linkage was crap!
...Maybe use your cherry-picker to pull up on the deck, then hammer from under to get it to move? I've used come-alongs and a tree to pull inward side-crumples out before.
@@DuckmanCycles sound nice baja alots people who has those they do that baja and I have 1964 vw bug baja still sitting in garage nake I took out all old parts that will sell and I am getting all new parts take my time
The most major problem with classic VWs is people that don't take care of them properly. That is usually when they rust, break, down, or fall apart. If they are maintained they last a VERY long time with very simple and small problems! Thanks for the question!

Ahh yes... the wonderful discoveries as you peel away the layers.
Well, I've always got something to fix, which means more videos! LoL!
You're great at BOTH Duck!
Haha thanks!
Glenn it’s not a failed video, you just learned something about your car that you didn’t know before.
Yep, and it opened up a whole lot of doors for new video projects!
Really dig the old game music!! Very cool
Thank you! I'll be doing more of that!
everytime I see your plate I think of Bachman Turner Overdrive! :D
Hahahaha! I never thought of that before but now I'm going to think it every time when I see it
Montage was very cool and quite a professional addition to your visual video repertoire. Muy Bueno!
Thank you! Just added another montage in another video!
love the time lapse mate 🇬🇧
Thanks so much!
Loved the time lapse!
Thank you! I just did another one yesterday!
I love the chip tune music
Thank you! I'll have to do more of this!
nice video and I like the timelapse.
Thank you so much!
I liked the time lapse
Thank you! New video tonight!
Love the new camera equipment duckman, the time lapse is great but a tad too fast.
It was on slowest setting! So thats not possible, lol! Thanks for the input!

New camera looks great! Sucks about Rubys butt being bent. Looking forward to seeing how you address it.
Thanks! Update on this tomorrow at lunchtime!
the time-laps montage was also I loved the 8 bit music track I sounded like the back ground music on a super Mario Bros level LOL
Thank you so much! Seems everyone loves it!
nice video work looks much better. too bad about the crushed body on ruby
Yeah, this is a small disaster, but I get to make more videos from it.
My first vw was a 68 fast back. The first one i got to drive was a 75 rabbit. I loved that car until the transmission went out. The people that used to have never checked the transmission gear oil. I was driving it and it hung up in third gear.. It was red with white interior and a 4 door.
Thanks for that story! I appreciate it! I love hearing those!
Just throwing it out there. Things you think of looking into the circle versus looking out.
Throwing what out where? This isn't in context anywhere.
The idea about the mount
Pull her hair and mount her!
My first car...although mine was a 1973 1600E....
Cool! Got any pics to share?
When a job goes right from start to finish it makes me feel like jack shit. Let's face it ,that dosn't happen often enough. Looking forward to this one, good luck.
Yeah, when everything is perfect I always wonder whats gonna come back to bite me later. SOMETHING has to go wrong! LoL!

You should lol :)
Do you have enough space to put a jack and piece of 4x4 from underneath the body and raise it up on both sides. That way you don't have to cut and weld.
That has been the general consensus on what I should do. But that isn't going to work so well. More about that in tomorrow's Q&A video!
Take a Jack and a four by four board and jack the floor up from the bottom and maybe it will bend it back up enough to work? Its worth a try. That just how stuff goes for me too. LOL
That may work, the engine has to come out, though. Next update in 45 minutes... new findings.... MORE PROBLEMS!
Try changing the subrame bushings, that would hopefully raise the body a bit and give you some clearance.
I mentioned that in another comment, but a modification to the subframe won't fix the crushed rear end. I'll just fix what is broken and make it right! 😀😀😀😀 Next video shows more, it goes up tomorrow morning, tonight for Patreon members. duckshit.net

Sounds like a good way to crush my engine. LoL! Everything on top is just sheet metal and brittle magnesium!
Oh ok never worked on a air cooled vw figured there a steel or aluminum block in there somewhere
Well the heads are aluminum, the cylinders are cast iron, and the case is magnesium everything is covered with sheet metal... hit the fan housing on this engine is also magnesium. All brittle or delicate stuff.
Before you start cutting. Could that mount you made be off? Could you adjust the height from the mounts?
The mounts are fixed stock position, I used OEM ones... lol. The one I "made" was OEM from a Beetle, it only had a couple of spacers, actually, no height was changed. I did think of spacing the entire subframe further under the car,, it would be easy on a Type-3, the whole rear end comes out with only 5 bolts removed! But that would he hacky.

I was doin' some serious top-rockin' to the music during that sped-up sequence !!!
Haha! All but one person liked the music, the one person that didn't got himself deleted for being rude. LoL!
@@DuckmanCycles yeah we're all supposed to be brothers (and sisters :-)) in this vw thing, no call for rudeness!
Agreed! I don't even have time for the delete button, but sometimes it has to be done!
Have you tried using empi type 3 short manifolds? It might help you with those air filters.
EMPI doesn't make FRD manifolds. The manifolds I am using are the correct ones.
Damn go pro
No like? LoL!
Time lapse was pretty cool. Bummer that car is bent and you can't put it back together
I wish I got more of that! But I'm in a stuck point, had nothing left that I could record!

Hi Kevin! Yes that about sums it up! LoL!
generally, is there a major problem with VW cars? specifically in parts and engine components? e.g. gearbox etc
