- Found a Vw Bus that was disassembled by the previous owner. Even the transmission was removed. Let's get the transmission installed , load it up , get home and see what's inside. Next we will get an engine in the Bus for its first start and first drive in years. Parts are on order for the SO42 camper, more soon on this sweet Bus!

Enjoyed the big Reveal. What a treasure this one is. Great find.
thank you BB
"GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN", txs for sharing...
thank you Tom
Awesome Bus. Another dream that was not finished. I know I have the same problem. You grow old, only to find out your body isn't young anyone. Got 87 GTI 3/4 restored than has been sitting for 15yrs. I'm 75 and can't finish my dream. Keep finishing peoples dreams. Love your channel.
I have one just like it sitting in my garage right now. In exactly the same shape completely disassembled. It’s been that way for 20 years.😢
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thank you , much appreciated and thank you for dropping in
Need to post a vid showing the whole fleet. I'm like, this guy is finding another VW this week, again. Must be a large collection.
Jen wouldn’t like that.
HI I REALLY HAVE ENJOYED YOUR CHANNEL. NOT SURE WHERE YOU FIND AND PUT ALL THIS OLD VWs I USE TO WATCH DARREN [MUSTT1] BUT HE HAS DRIFTED AWAY FROM VWs BUT I STILL ENJOY HIS VIDS..HE HAS GOTTON SO BIG HE NO LONGERS RESPONDS TO HIS VIEWERS BUT THEN WHY SHOUD HE..OK TKS AGAIN BTW I AM AN OLD 76-YEAR-OLD WHO HAS HAD MANY VW BUGS AND WISH I HAD KEEPED ONE BE GOOD GOD BLESS RON IN NY
hi Ron, another thing most people do not understand is how much time it takes to respond to comments. I do my best to respond to them all but even I don't get to them all. It is hours on a small channel like mine. Mustie1 could spend days responding to his and that takes away from creating content . He might have new VW series coming soon, if we land it :). Thank you for dropping in, i appreciate it
Cant wait you mentioned ANOTHER car at the place you got the bus.
and it's an " indoor car " .... ohhhh lala haha :)
AWESOME!!!!!! Keep them coming!@@5150mxVW
Love the bus, great find. It went to the best place possible!
thank you Patrick
Wow! That's a nice bus. One of the best you have drug home. With all the parts there, this one should be on the road in a couple weeks.
Nice find Jason, great condition, and highly sought after, very nice 👍
thank you Joe, was a good deal too
Time to set up shop for metal work for this winte.
mechanicals 1st :)
Needs some work but I know you have seen worse. Lots of good parts as you have said, after the double cab I would love to see this get built out and running. Maybe even a full restoration? 😀
Nice find! At first i was disappointed that it wasn't lost in the woods, but then it was missing a transmission. Its always more fun to watch when theres potential disaster in store.
I’d say your best find in years. A candy box with plenty of goodies
Nice find for sure, thank you G
A friends father had a 69 van. We were going to go to Woodstock in 69. I didn't go cause the draft gave me a low lottery number. Stayed in college over the summer so I would not be drafted.
Brother; you are so lucky, you always find these nice bugs or buses.
That is all fucn rad. You must have the most deliberate mission that I am just getting to understand…..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jason, thank you for rescuing the VDub bus, and preserving a piece of automotive history!!!!
Westfalia is always a special bus. Nice rescue, I love the treasure in all those boxes, maybe the emblem is somewhere in there. Greetings from France !
I had the same one in the early eighties. Coming back from camping trip in NJ, I broke down just at the apex on the Throggs Neck. I don't know how I knew what was wrong, but I went right for a spare set of points in the glove box. Jumped out, opened the cap, and sure enough; the points were broken in half. Bing bang boom; the old ones out and the new ones in. Used my matchbook to set'em and off we go. Just getting off the bridge and on to the Belt Parkway when three Port Authority cops surround me. I didn't get written up, but they sure read me the riot act. Just so everyone knows; back then they would push you off the bridge with their push truck, not caring what they broke doing it. Picture your nice shiny chrome mufflers being rammed under your front seat. Would not surprise me if that is still how it's done.
Happy about the rust but you can make it good. Got a good amount extra stuff extra stuff is good.
Nice score! Looks like job security for you. Say hi to Jen for us.
Another great find
thank you James
And to think I turned down one like this that was 98% rust free for $1k back in the 90’s. Those were the days.
Good evening friend, I'm talking about Brazil, I love these videos about finding old cars and renovating them, I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapters.
Hermosa Combi amigo
Te sacaste la loteria
Muchas felicidades y suerte
thank you
Cheers mate great video
Cheers ! Thank you Mr M
I bet right now you have 10% of all VW's in the NE.
haha, more like .00000000001 :)
@@5150mxVWwhat's your number contact if I have to ask you a qestion?
Looks like the PO had good intentions with that bus. Pretty dry looking find! Great to see the interior is still with the bus too.
Be nice to see you and mustie1 do a cast.
he might be here tomorrow
@5150mxVW don't let him sell you a skid steer in white ,( running when parked) 🤣
Wow, you are on a roll Jay. Nice score!
thank you Jed
Great score man , glad you saw that one … how lucky !!! Congratulations
thank you Warren !
Nice find. I always wonder what happened to the engine when it's not with the bus.
thank you, I bought 2 blocks and another engine that are in another garage with another bus....hopefully one of those cases is it's org engine .
Hell yeah man! Looks great!! Nice score Rad dude!!
thank you Chris
Can’t believe you found an old VW in that neck of the woods, oh yeah that’s right it’s NE USA
Jason, that is amazing how little rust there is. I read through the comments and didn't see your question answered, so I will. 28-1 PICT is for a late 1200cc engine.
Nice has a 6 volt choke, seems like most Volkswagens converted to 12 volt. I converted Dad's 1964 Beetle back to 6 volt (several times said how much he regretted converting and I grew up disliking it), though being on SSI, the choke was too low priority so only part that didn't get changed. Got to get her back on the road and the machine shop, last one machining in camshaft bearing saddles (RIMCO is no more), didn't do any of the machining right so been costly financially and time; at least had a local get the case back, wasn't finding any 1300cc cases. At least really enjoy rebuilding engines, hopefully third time rebuilding this case be a charm. 😆
Nice, its a good looking bus and all those new parts are great! Still, glad the crewcab is taking priority. lol
thank you CoC
You are one of the few to correctly pronounce "jalousie". Well done, and nice find! Not too many out there in the wild anymore unfortunately.
Well that’s great to hear , I butcher a lot of words and Jen just cracks up :)
Holy Crap! It has DOGLEGS!!! Amazing! A keeper for sure, and I am not being sarcastic at all!
Jen is going to love it
Lots of potential projects sitting in the yard.
That is looking quite solid and you have most of the parts I think. Yes it is a shame when people take things apart sometimes but you can get new nuts and bolts. Nice find Jason, thanks for the update. 👍👍
Distilled vinegar does a great job of cleaning rusty hardware. May take a few days.
yes, apple cider vinegar, one of my faves, great tip....just have to neutralize the acid with distilled water and baking soda or it will flash rust.
I love this guy, I wish I could watch you more but they got me locked up .
hey SR, well that sucks !
That’s a decent find. A bonus to have all those bits come with it too
Decent ? Al !?! :))
@@5150mxVW yeah as In Disrepaired, eroded, crusty, engineless, non runner, tourer 😄
Very cool, came with lots of goodies.
I found even more metal repair parts and a roof rack the other day :))
Make sure you have a vision on it👍
:)))
Nice find! 👍👍
thank you Mike
Last year of the splitty.... My father bought a T2 in 68... A huge different in confort. I was 20 years of age then, and drove both... Good old days.... Greetings from Holland!
Score! I don't know how you find all of these busses but keep up the good work! Already 744 views in 43 minutes.
Wow that honestly doesn’t look that bad.
Oh geez I think all these old VWs have a spaghetti harness 🤦🏼♂️
That frame honestly does look good…or not terrible 😁
I think it came with a
30/pict2
Double cab time!!
It honestly is solid for a north eastern!
Thats a cool one
thank you
117th! HAD TO HAVE ALL THE BRAKES FIXED WITH ALL NEW PARTS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE LOCKING UP AFTER DRIVING IT. 007 is back to working order, and back to be the reliable 67 that it has been since new! Long time subscriber! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
Like you video you the master men love the old cars and respect you job beautiful Florida USA 🙏💯🙏💯🙏
nice job.
thank you Jim
Glad you love Wolfsburg West. A really good friend of mine works there.
👍👍, nice , please extend the friends and family discount this way haha
@@5150mxVW I will try. Lol
Nice job, Jason! Maybe one day I will buy one to restore! You are in the same state as me.
Sweet Unit, I watch another Channel called Adventures Made From Scratch and he is from Kansas I think, and if he sees even some tarnish on a pumper he calls the vehicle a rust bucket, I like your take on things, you can see through it and its "Not too Bad"
What a beautiful Kombi
Sold
Another one for the books. Like a lot of old dude projects, he got the hard part done. Totally disassembly, buy a bunch or stuff, then give up! 😮
Solid find. Thanks from. Sc
thank you Allen
Awsome find🔥🔥
It looks like you have a a lot of parts to the puzzle now you just need a lot of time to reassemble that mess
Wow Jay awesome find again two home runs in a row😊
Cheers Mr M
Afternoon mate
afternoon Mr M
Nice! and bonus is that it's not full off 💩
Yes ! And YES :)
Nice find brother! Lots of new parts too!
thank you Steve !
You got a new floor jack!!
Yes ! I needed an extra for that 1960 Bus rescue , I couldn’t afford make the 8 hour round trip and come home trailer empty again
Score !! Great find again Jason
thank you Coco
Mate no wild animal shit - you are on a roll. 😂😂😂 - 67 SW Its a good one - you got some difficult choice - IMO stay focussed on the double cab. (the blue Euro and the Herbie clone are still keepers 💪)
Nice find! Excited to see what the other car in his garage is!
Sweet
thank you AG
Score😮 sweet👍
:))), thank you
Middle seat score! Opening that ashtray in the back of the seat brings back memories, always thought it was asking to burn holes to put it there. Even as a kid. Is the middle seat from a later bus? Upholstery looks like from a bay bus.
yes, looks to be a Bay
I think you could rebuild that nicely with all those spare parts !. It was a much better find than that ‘59 camper you pulled out of the swamp !.
At least you didn't have to dig this one out!
yes , but it might of been cooler in the woods haha
Very nice Bus 🥰🥰
Hi I love the channel u have not done any will it start or working on them I've noticed all u do is get them home 😢
thank you Tim, well I kinda binge bought more than i can pick up lately lol
Nice,nice,nice camper cabinets,sink,closet,header,panels,etc,plus a spare 3 rib bus tranny,plus all of the trim,glass,etc,etc,etc.. Good buy no matter what the price for a split window,big 5,camper bus inpretty good condid,that ROLLS,and with some rust rocker areas... I'd have thrown money at this bus all day long even though Jen will prolly be throwing something else at J when he gets home with it.. 😂 ..
On a side note,does J have any not covered yard left without German metal on it ??
It’s about time for a tour of the collection. It’s hard to keep track of what’s coming and going.
Not much going
Although that was before the recent / future split bus indulgence 🤣
Sweet another u didn't have to drag out of a load, of bushes 👍😅
With all the VW's your getting you can open
5150mxVW Motors!!!
I really wanna found a treasure just like that
keep looking , they are out there
Looks like a good bus, with lots of parts. Why do people tear apart wiring, and not put it back? I'd rather work on anything but wiring.
Hi Jason from England. There's a question I've been wondering about every time, whilst watching your last few videos. All we see is you collecting the vehicles - we never know what happens to them. Do you sell them on? Occasionally we're treated to those great resto videos with Larry, but where do the rest of the vehicles go? Maybe a few minutes of video of them as they go to the new owners might be good? Cheers anyway fella, carry on doing your thing - we love it. x
I have to say the doors close nice and solid. That's not something you see every day.
I have two SO 42s and why are they always pearl white? All four of my buses are pearl white I don’t get it.
Whatever you do, don’t throw those tan aluminum squares away they are the interior trim for the Heloise windows ! Again, another really hard to find item and not cheap.
Sadly, almost the entire interior is gone that’s gonna be a difficult one if you’re trying to make it all original. You seem to have access to a lot more than we do even out here in Southern California. I go to every OCTO show and Pomona swap meet and I have only seen an S.O. 42 complete interior once in the past 15 years .
Congrats on the find!
all the Westy interior is shown in the vid....no idea why they are all white , I need some color :))
@@5150mxVW yeah eventually saw that. There isn’t an extra ice box in there is there, is there?😂. I have a non-walk-through icebox I’d be willing to trade I need a walk-through box.
The VW Rescue Channel
My buddy bought one from a stoner in '80 for 100 bucks. Some concert in London Ontario. Drove it north to my folks in Peterborough area. The shifter was out, had no power and we had to push it uphill. Next morning discovered the floor pan was rotted. I suggested a 2x4 between the shifter and e-brake for support. Fuckin thing almost popped a wheelie. Good times... So what's your plan, acid bath and survey first? Thanks for posting.
I don’t remember complaining to my dad about lug bolts on my 64 VW in 1976 but I complained about them yesterday on my 2013 bug after a day of replacing front struts. I love the white van with very little rust for up here in the north east. I’m in NY. And OMG on the parts collection.
Man, where do find all these!!! Another score!
Pretty solid one too....
Gotta love it when it comes with everything you need, all the parts, 'new' transmission etc
Looks like a Lotus White 67 SO-42, I had one just like it! It had terminal rot though. Did you ever go back up to NH?
yes , L282 SO-42..nice! Not yet , that SO23 drained me in more ways than one lol....at least the bugs and humidity are gone :)
Can be a panel van converted to camper? M Code what's saying? Btw amazing found as usual. Greetings from Italy
what makes you think it's a converted panel?
@@5150mxVW Just a feeling looking at all windows changed/opened except one (rear right one). But of course I could be wrong 🤗
it's an SO42
Then I was completely wrong. Amazing find 😊
It’s a Kombi…model 23. That’s the base model that Westfalia used to convert it to a SO42.
Great, another bus. Not blue 😂 .
haha, we can do sea blue and white no? :)
CT takes everything apart😂😂😂😂
I saw Beatle albums!
Good eye
Is that bus going to be for sale big supper fan of your channel like the bus
no way! something you approve of , hallelujah😁
Is there any way to move the front seats back a little to make a little more room for the driver?
Oof, when east coast guys say “ not terrible “ I tremble
No comment , I’ll be nice 😆
Another one??? Man you have cornered the market for sure.
