Thank you , much appreciated and thank you for dropping in

[@56ford]

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.

[@sargedutch1085]

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.

[@ocavant]

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.😢

[@williamtanner1372]

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.

[@c.s.s.1723]

That is all fucn rad. You must have the most deliberate mission that I am just getting to understand…..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ppellet4738]

Jason, thank you for rescuing the VDub bus, and preserving a piece of automotive history!!!!

[@EduardoOliveira-ho3ll]

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 !

[@myfriendmiked]

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.

[@jasonschwartz746]

Jen wouldn’t like that.

[@frankl.5153]

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.

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

Time to set up shop for metal work for this winte.

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.

Nice find Jason, great condition, and highly sought after, very nice 👍

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Joe, was a good deal too

[@Hernik_der_Herzhaft]

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? 😀

[@juniorclassicvwbugs924]

Brother; you are so lucky, you always find these nice bugs or buses.

[@AccadFullGore]

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.

[@volktales7005]

Holy Crap! It has DOGLEGS!!! Amazing! A keeper for sure, and I am not being sarcastic at all!

[@rolandtb3]

Lots of potential projects sitting in the yard.

[@neilschristensen9143]

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.

[@nadenolam8368]

Can’t believe you found an old VW in that neck of the woods, oh yeah that’s right it’s NE USA

[@ceesheemskerk2397]

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!

[@atomicmellon1712]

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.

[@adrielrowley]

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. 😆

[@WAVEGURU]

Nice score! Looks like job security for you. Say hi to Jen for us.

[@AndreiGajzago]

Sweet

[@5150mxVW]

thank you AG

[@stephenricketts7764]

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. 👍👍

[@almclean4835]

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Distilled vinegar does a great job of cleaning rusty hardware. May take a few days.

[@5150mxVW]

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.

[@wilcothefox]

Nice find. I always wonder what happened to the engine when it's not with the bus.

[@5150mxVW]

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 .

[@5150mxVW]

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 :).

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.

[@cidercik]

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.

[@julianroberts7116]

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

[@derekwalters6132]

I’m not positive but I’m starting to wonder if everyone in your neck of the woods with a failed VW project doesn’t think to themselves “hmmmm wonder if Jen would like another project in her driveway” LOL.

[@brianhayes7618]

You definitely got your work cut out for yourself

[@johncooper6246]

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.
