¡Hola! ISP West tiene una excelente selección de piezas que pueden enviarle. www.vwispwest.com

@@JohnnieBravo1 Nice! I hope the Plastik Honey does the trick for you.

@@tellsitasitis Excellent!

Great, glad I could help!

Oh ya, its a drinker. I don't have exact numbers but it must be in the teens. Part of the problem is that this car really wants to be driven above 3k. Its a dog until the turbo starts spooling up.

Nice! Its always a good feeling scoring parts for these old cars.

Haha nice! I really like the way the Borla sounds on this car. Just the right amount of noise.

Same oil, different size bottle...

Love the hawkeye wrx! Glad I could help

Danke!

I found it in the used T3 parts listings on thesamba.com

One is Prairie City outside of Sacramento and the other is the Santa Rosa Fairgrounds.

That's wild!! Very cool that you bought yours new! It must be a relatively low mileage survivor.

@@DreamWrench 74k miles, it’s lived a good life in SoCa, some swift canyon carving but never thrashed and zero mods. Watching a couple other of your vids and would like to eventually replace the struts and maybe sway bar. I’ve taken it in the shop though and instructed them to fix/replace ANYTHING that needs it and I get a “everything looks good” so, I got a solid one I guess. The only thing that is broken is the clock and the #2 fan speed! I may ping you for advice. Great vibes and video though - you’ve got good energy like your bugeyes. Peace brother!

@@tpolerex7282 Sounds like it's in great condition! Most of these cars are thrashed. Replacing the struts was one of the first things I did. I sometimes forget how many little maintenance items I replaced when I first got it. I have some more WRX content planned. Right now I'm finishing up the Toyota.

​@@tpolerex7282 how much

​@@tpolerex7282 u want to sell?

Yes, that was the only way to get to it. It's really buried in there.

@@DreamWrench it possible to clean it without taking off the dash?

It would be very difficult to access the inside of the heater core to remove debris without removing the dash.

That's great to hear! Really glad the video was helpful. Those connectors can be finicky.

Awesome, thanks! Best of luck with the squares!

Thanks!

A really long flat dura block would be great for this job.

Definitely stay away from anything with extensive rust or a bent chassis.

Haha sounds like I will be showing the bodywork!

Absolutely

Thanks!

It only takes a couple minutes of idling to warm up the oil so the oil is always warm by the time I get the car up onto the ramps. Warm oil before draining isn't mandatory but some people prefer doing it that way. Just be careful not to burn yourself if you try to drain the oil when the engine is actually hot. Best of luck!

@@DreamWrench 2-5 mins of idling the motor would be ok? Thanks by the way, just waiting to get the crush washer in the mail soon which I can't drive the car for the next few days ugh and to make it worse, it stinks (literally) and the car will require professional help to get the interior cleaned up. 🤦🏽‍♂

@@mista_ruby 2-3 minutes should be plenty. Any more than that you want to be careful not to burn yourself. Best of luck getting the car cleaned up! Sounds like a great project!

@@DreamWrench Thanks =]

@@DreamWrench Thanks and btw I used the same oil and oil catch can too, it really helped! =]

Good question. It's a dual filament bulb.

Thanks

I don't believe there is a service reset for an oil change on the GD chassis. I just take note of the mileage when I change the oil.

Already did the shocks

Last time I looked I didn't see new OEM units available. I think we have to pull good used ones from the junk yard now.

@@DreamWrench No worries, thanks for the reply mate.

@ashchaya7676 What you could do is grab a used JDM set off ebay. The JDM units look so much better imo. Unfortunately in the US we have to convert JDM headlights to left hand drive but they should be fairly plug and play for you guys in AUS.

@@DreamWrench Yeah JDM is what I have access to, it's just that they're hugely expensive to buy genuine. I want brand new rather than used because the whole reason I'm doing this is to get nice and pretty clear lenses for the final touches to my project Forester :)

Absolutely! I just asked them to send you my contact. Would love to check out the Ghias sometime or have you swing by my place. Sounds like you got a couple of early 60s models?

Fur sure! Maybe I'll make another video. I do have a link to the bulb that I used in this video in the description.

Thanks

Thanks!

lololol I'll drop the 90 Minute Bulb Change video next week

We basically have the same set up! It's good to be back in the garage and making videos again. The next VW video will take a minute to make so its nice to get another short one out in the meantime. Good to hear from you!

@@DreamWrench I’ve got a doozy to put together about my WRX. I actually just decided it really has to be more than one video, so I need to get started on the first. Keep getting in that garage!

Thanks mang!

Thanks Jan!! It really is pretty easy once you know what to do and have a few tools.

I guarantee you CAN change your own oil and filter as long as you have some basic tools. It really is as simple as it looks here (unless you have mild OCD like me) and I really do recommend the latex gloves as shown in this vid too. EDIT: You'll need an oil filter wrench though. That's the only non-basic tool.

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

I went with the stock bulbs. They're fine as long as your lenses are clear.

I upgraded to LEDs mainly because I'm constantly driving on rough rural highways and LEDs don't blow because they have no filaments. However you will need different wiring to make this upgrade. (I was blowing globes every few months with the stock bulbs)

Thanks!

Awesome! Hope the bucket works out for you. Can wait to see the results!

I do hear they are reliable!

These are actually Swift lowering springs and they are the wagon specific version.

Ok thanks

Nice, that's an early one! Is it running and driving? I'd say start out tackling small jobs and spend a lot of time driving/enjoying it. I think spending more time behind the wheel can help someone figure out what they really want to do with the car. If it's not running/driving I'd say spend a lot of time on the forums and make a plan for what it will take to get the car back in the road. What color is your 61? Can the OG paint be saved? Above all else enjoy the build!

@@DreamWrench I believe I'm possibly the 3rd owner, I got it from my great uncle who had dementia, while he had it it was running, till he burnt up the wiring. In around the spare wheel is rusted out at the bottom, running boards are in the process of getting replaced and under the quarter panels in front of the rear wheel is rotted out, that's to name a few things. It was in a lot better condition originally, but my late great uncle had kept forgetting outside and we both live on opposite sides of a river. It was originally white and while some of it is saveable, most really isn't. It's unfortunately not possible to return it to original due to the rust damage and a serious lack of cash so I'm just doing my best to make it work and look the way I want, while letting it retain the ability to be restored properly if I can find someone more passionate about seeing it truly live once again. I was given it after he passed away, I tried talking him into letting at least help him fix it but it was his pride and joy, he wouldn't let anyone work on it unless he was informed of a skill that may be needed. Unfortunately we don't live near any area that specialized in the necessary areas and he didn't have a trailer so it didn't get much done, though he did his best to get parts for it.

🙏🙏🙏

@@DreamWrench i need a heater core I leve in ny and I have no heat man can I buy yours 😅🙏🏻

@@moisestaveras6584 Im going to keep this one with the car in case I sell but I'll let you know if I change my mind
