1963 VW Beetle REVIVAL! Will it RUN and DRIVE?

Part three of our 1963 Beetle revival where we try to run our 'new' engine on peanut butter and ask: How much rust is too much rust?

This was a lot of fun, really enjoyed the video. New subscriber, Jason of 5150mxvw mentioned you guys not so long ago. I find your work (or should I say antics) very entertaining and I'll be watching for more. I'll also put the word out that there is a really cool channel where you can learn how to do stuff with beetles. Well done, chaps!

[@davidwhocares3293]

How come the tank was leaking ? Did it just wear thin from the rust inside ?

[@wickedwerks]

Basically yes. It was water tight until we hit it with the chain. The metal was so thin around the outlet that the chain broke through and created a pinhole leak. We could probably have repaired it but with the bottom of the tank in such a mess I figured I might as well just get a new one.
