Happy New Year Jason & Family & All fellow channel watchers

[@5150mxVW]

thank you BmX'r

[@hardcorvancour]

I see what you did there,poor fella kept up for a mile or two great movie reference 😅 .

[@astridsactionrc545]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@VWBrennidon]

@hardcorvancour such a funny movie 😆

[@5150mxVW]

🤣 classic !

[@nmdesertclassics]

Almost fell off the treadmill laughing when you said the poor fella probably kept up for a mile or two… 😂

[@Real_Abe_Froman]

Sounds like a Griswald vacation.

[@VWDen67]

Another great start to the New Year off watching Jason rescuing, pulling and pushing VW's around! I couldn't think of a better way to start the New Year ! Have a happy & healthy 2025!

[@charlescole-p9v]

A steal at that price in almost any condition !

[@martinharris5017]

Any Oval that can be rescued has a tremendous resale value, at least that's the case here in New Zealand. With so many parts and panels still available for these cars its gotta be worth doing if one has the time to do it. Good luck!

[@duaneulman9915]

Thank you. You are amazing and I am Greatful you save all them cars.

[@johnmallett4983]

I love the way you connect with each of us thru the camera lens too! Keep up the great work. Happy New Year to you too!

[@eddiekilby]

I think my favorite rescue of 2024 was Buses in a stream. 👍👍👍👍

[@5150mxVW]

I think that's how I ended up taking a month off lol

Happy New Year Jason,you are the biggest Old Beetle enthusiast on the face of the earth !

[@tommahnke]

Happy New Year . Thank you for keeping me entertained. I feel your pain, I am in the middle of building a 32 Ford that the chassis was being used by my wifes grandfather as a cotton trailer. Needless to say it has been a long dirty process. You keep me inspired.

[@johnwilkinson5718]

Happy New year. Good to see you back.

[@dannywahl4539]

Wow just found this channel and couldn't stop watching ... Can't wait to see more progress..

[@X2YZ106]

Happy New Year Jason!!! Glad to see you are busy, can’t wait for the next video. Really enjoy your humor and content.

Been subscribed awhile now. Even on your worst day you've got to know you've found your heaven on earth. My passion is storage units. No matter what I'm grateful. Love watching people when they are doing their passion 😊

[@truenexus1usa]

Thanks Jason for another fab episode, crafted by weaving oldie and fresh threads into the fabric that makes the tales of 5150mxVW. Happy old jacks, Bubba.

[@M.TTT.]

Ah, the super lightweight body mod - great for racing. Nice saves

[@josephperry6822]

Happy New Year, Jay and all! It's great to see you starting the year with another rescue day one!

[@5150mxVW]

thank you JP!

[@tylersnedeker5577]

I sold this car about four years ago out of New Hampshire, it's cool to see it pop up on here!

[@5150mxVW]

what happened to the seats and W decklid?

[@tylersnedeker5577]

@5150mxVW there were no seats when I had it there was a matching deck lid on it when I sold it i noticed it had been changed.

[@5150mxVW]

@@tylersnedeker5577 yeah, the guy i bought it from like to hang decklids in his shop.. I didn't notice if he had it on the wall....any history on the car?

[@tylersnedeker5577]

@5150mxVW it came out of loudon it sat on a hill for years and then the owner was selling out so it had to go, I do salvage so that's how I ended up with it. Other than that I don't much more about it, aside from the deck lid being changed it's about in the same condition I sold it in.

[@martyworley5427]

Happy New Year to the best VW show in town!

[@5150mxVW]

hi Marty, thank you !

[@MikeMoose67]

I can’t believe that luggage tray was solid as it was. You were very fortunate there. Saving yourself quite a bit of money. Happy new year great video as always.!!✌️

I’m restoring my 68 but what I wouldn’t give for an oval window 😍

[@sparehead2163]

And Happy New Year from Aus 🇦🇺to you and your family. Jason love your work, and I'm looking forward to the Larry inspired restoration Nearly fell off the chair when i thought you'd cut a VW up😂 thanks for the video

[@danesderelicts]

Good man. I'm always working out in the cold too..Here in central mass. Sweet find.

[@BrewDub73]

Happy New Year, Jay. I too am attracted to the Rust McCrust. Excited to watch this project. I’m spending a lot on metal for my ‘61 so23. I’ll tackle the crusty squareback maybe next year.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I seen you pushing, and then I seen the sky. 😂 I think my back gets sore watching you lift engines. Parts are much more expensive now! Happy New Year my friend!!! Rusty beige 😂 Larry!!!

[@philcappellini2820]

Even though the oval window is beyond repair. Cutting one up and trashing it on video will inevitably bring out the "oval trolls". Thanks for another great video!! Happy New Year!!!

[@5150mxVW]

I show it was previously cut up when I got it …the short clip of me with the sawzall in the beginning was just to set up the next clip of me lifting the shell off . I show the car at the end as I received it .

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Phil, you as well

[@skyking95]

Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year and the best for reserving old VW’s in 2025!!!

[@derekwalters6132]

Couple of funny moments in this episode, the poor little fella comment from Vacation, and then later on when you were working on it out in the driveway, it was like you were practicing what you were going to say to Jen when she spotted yet another crispy VW in the driveway.

[@styrenerelics]

I see blue sky and no rain. I start to think, "Am I on the right channel"? There isn't a forest that hates him with a river of water everyday. But, then you said you starting out the year broke while sitting in a rusty beige interior '55. I knew then all is well. This will be a fun project to follow. See you next time around.

[@slimpickins3425]

OK I had to stop at 42 seconds in just to say WTF!!!!!!! You never cease to amaze me! Happy new Year, now back to the fun!

[@5150mxVW]

haha, yeah I had that idea and had to make some kind of video to get the 1st 42 seconds out there :)... i thought it was pretty funny

“Seized bolts roasting on an open fire…”! Thanks for an entertaining 24 and here’s to the New Year! Different (yet always entertaining and informative) NY’s video. I remember one a couple of years past with you, a Thing, and a bottle of bubbly, haha! Also, the opening with you picking up and flipping over the top of the car reminded me of the mid 70s “Lite Beer from Miller”… the retired athlete saying “I love these easy opening cans!” Well done!

[@5150mxVW]

Haha ! Thanks for the laugh

Our ‘55 single cab was built in April of that year. Ours has blinkers and a few other updates like the air intake over the windshield. Up through March of that year the scabs had semaphores. Probably the type1’s were changed around the same time to blinkers.

Happy New Year!! Unfortunately sometimes they are too far gone to save them all but they can help other bugs live on. One of those I will restore it and then it sit's outside for 40 years.

Awesome, youve got the job i wish i had, though im an NSU man myself, ive owned a lot of the old weird postwar bubblecars and microcars, even built a fiberglass Messerschmitt cabin roller cabriolet replica body once. Im in Western Massachusetts, itd be great to give you a hand , info, or tips. Odds are if you ever see a new England NSU, its probably one ive owned. Lol. Happy New Year
