what capacity and the brand of your compresor for your new abrasive blaster?

You might need to put the flywheel back on, to remove the crankshaft pulley, when the time comes.

Sure you know this. On the small, rusted bolts, six-point wrench small taps with a hammer in both directions and PB Blaster. Big tools and small bolts equal broken bolts.

Excellent Job on the conversion. Great to see you wearing a face shield when using the cut off wheel.

Nice job. On the flywheel lock tool, you can replace the nut with a wing nut. To make it easier to use the tool. The 3/4 breaker bar is nice tool to have. I have the same tool.

Very nice! was wondering how you would lift that engine on the stand. Great job

I know exactly what you’re talking about… When you’re talking about the satisfaction of actually doing it after the years of research :-)! I spent about two years watching videos, and researching how to paint a vehicle and after doing it a couple of times it was pretty amazing! glad to see you are still at it!

Another great job, I agree it’s fun and rewarding to actually be doing what we’ve been watching on KZbin

😲😲😲

Thanks for posting this video!, great idea for my sandblasting cabinet too!, I send you a like, and I subscribe to your channel too.

OMG, you've gone WAY beyond any disassembly I would attempt. You have my respect. I can't stop watching, waiting to see what's next. You're amazing!

Enjoy your channel immensely. I had a brand new 1971 Super Beetle. It would be a dream yo own one again.

Great vids. Love that you credit Slades content too. Suggestion for small parts cleaning, especially carbs - Ultrasonic Cleaner (USC). I use a wide mouth glass jar or plastic jar like what nuts are packed in. Wide mouth is key. Wire mesh tea leaf balls to hold small small parts. I put Simple Green or Seafoam in the jar with parts, and distilled water in the Cleaner. The jar just barely floats in the water thats in the USC. Strain the used Simple Green through a coffee filter and keep reusing it. Stay gold.

Great informative video!

I wouldn't cut a hole in the tunnel, near the pedal assembly, unless you need to. Just my opinion. The floor pans, look like they're in great shape.

Best fastener ever: "Clips and grossness".....:)))

Would have preferred voice over to the music, but a great video nonetheless.

These videos are fantastic! I love your can do spirit. SUBSCRIBED!!! It’s so refreshing to see you figuring things out in real time. I’m doing my own research to fix a bug up for my daughter’s first car and you’re giving me the confidence to go for it. Your enthusiasm for successfully removing a tough bolt is infectious, in a good way! Keep at it and thanks for sharing with the rest of us!!

Love this video! Every other video I can find has too much talking and I don't need to hear somebody explaining stuff ! I'm going to look to see if you have other videos, great job and thank you!

Well done. Very nice and excellent job. Thanks for your share and guide

So good to see you back! I’ve been wondering what happened to you. Good to see another update. You’re in good company on the challenge you faced with disassembling your struts. Just about everyone else that’s posted videos of strut removal on their channels were able to remove the three bolts with a 3/8” ratchet and then the three parts just fell apart. I ended up buying used spindles on eBay as I couldn’t get mine to separate (even after ruining my wood chisels trying). Just a tip for future reference… SnapOn sold a purpose-made brake adjustment tool for getting to the adjustment Star wheels on the front brakes on ‘71-‘72 Super Beetles. I picked one up on eBay and it’s a game changer for adjusting the front brake shoes. Great video and loved the music from Carmen!

I'm loving watching you disassemble your Bug. I think I saw all this in John Muir's book page 212!😉 The videos are more entertaining.

Great video! Love watching your project.

When you get ready to install the new brake metal lines and hoses. Get yourself a set of metric flare nut wrenches.

🤩Oustanding Progress ! 🤩 Pencil yourself in a raise ( but make sure you use pencil )*gigglesnortgiggle* 😂 😇❤

Glad to see you’re back at it. I wish I had your organizational skills. Ha! I only straighten up when I can’t find things. lol!

Love new Old Bug videos!!! Thank you lol

Keep up the good work lady!! Hope all is going well, and that you are getting things done even in spite of this current heatwave… We’re now in mid June :-)! Take care!

15:30: Ah, yes, the famous 4-cyl distributor cap. Back in the early 80's, I worked at a Porsche-Audi dealership, and worked in the parts department about half of the time. I learned pretty quickly that 4-cyl Audi caps were the same as VW Rabbit caps, as were 4 cyl Porsche 924 caps. One day somebody brought in a 928 with Belgian tags, and it had a dual distributor setup that US models did not. I mentioned that the caps sure looked like those from a 924/Audi 4000/VW Rabbit, and the shop foreman (a German man named Helmut) informed me that EVERY VW back to the earliest type 1's used that same distributor cap.

Oh, you got some F*G bearings? You know, youtube won't let you use that word in a video.......

What about the gap under the storm door?

15:30: Cheap bodywork; fill the hole with newspaper, then bondo over the whole mess...

26.02: You are not using those Vernier calipers correctly. Note on the first measurement, you were measuring from the 'flats' of the jaws on both ends. On the second measurement, only the top jaw was measuring from the flat; the lower jaw was measuring to the gap between the flat and the slide. I've never measured how much that 'step' is, but I'd bet it was at least .100". Also, measuring from the inside of a rusty, butt-weld hole guarantees you almost zero accuracy...

Good job and idea!

glad you took the advice and bought a new blaster compressed air is dangerous happy knowing your safe now your set up works great 😀😉

👍

Nice job!

Great work. Now I just need to do mine in 5mins

omg i would not use that tank under high pressure that fitting you wellded will blow out needs to be done by a certified welder very dangerous to do yourself

Wow, great gifts. I love the clock. Fun checking out the parts….😮 Great video. Love VW parts. Very nice of your subscriber. Dale is a rock star…

Hello Trixed out. Nice job. Great woodworking skills. I wish I had a sandblaster and the room for it. 👍🤓 Tonight I’m posting the video of bringing home my bus. Then there was three. Have a great weekend.

Awesome,,,, nice works,,,,, I have 2 bug,,,, 1974 and 1969,,,,but can not restoration like you 😅😅

HI Trish, greetings from Florida. I wasn't sure about most of the parts you had, but as someone else mentioned, the speedo and the clock are from late 60's and 70's Type 3. I had a 66 Type 3 Squareback back in the day, and that's the speedo and clock I had. But the prize is the Sapphire radio. If you can get it to work, it will certainly fit into your 71 Super. I tried to find a Sapphire AM/FM for my 73 Super, and I did find a working one on eBay, which I got. Problem is, it did not come with the proper faceplate or the radio knobs. I found a faceplate for it, but it wasn't cheap. The proper knobs like you have on your radio are nearly impossible to find. And when I did find some, they were as much as $50 each, and there are 4 on that radio. I'm not paying that kind of money for radio knobs. So I boxed the radio, put it on a shelf, and installed a period correct non-Sapphire radio that looks almost identical. I'll hang on to the Sapphire and one day I will find a faceplate and knobs that I can afford. In the meantime, the one I installed works just fine. I'm looking forward to seeing you work on your Bug again. The blast cabinet is nice. Could I have really used one of those over the years. Update on my 73 Super. Engine is done, first start has been done while on the stand. It runs perfectly. It's been wrapped up and put aside until he's ready for installation. I had to buy a set of refurbished heads for it. The moron who put plugs in it (over 20 years ago) cross-threaded 3 out of 4 of the plugs and chewed up the spark plug holes so bad that new plugs could not be installed. There is a way to repair them from what I was told. I guess you put in a sleeve and re-tap the holes. A lot of work but it was cheaper for me to just buy a set of refurbished heads. Just like it was much cheaper for me to buy a brand new carb rather than rebuild the old one. $22 bucks for the rebuild kit, a couple hours of work (that I'm for paying by the hour) versus a brand new carb for $55 bucks. Body work is all done, and it should go to primer this weekend if the weather holds. Then glass removal, and paint within the next week or so. Getting closer. Still will be May/June for completion. Look forward to your next video. Cheers! 😎
