@@thoraldshib4393 nothing will change for Restored, we will continue posting as usual with the added extra videos to Turnin Rust as well.

Excellent! Looking forward to it.

[@CajunGreenMan]

That's confusing. Why both channels?! It's possible to change the name of a KZbin channel. Maybe change the name of this one to 'Turnin' Rust Restored'? Ought to be a way to move all the videos from one channel to the other.

[@TBConl]

This story sure brought back memories, about 60 years ago, my buddy's father brought one home, a little better condition, looked new compared to yours. His father always tinkered with "odd" cars. It brought back memories of some very happy days. Love the channel.

[@NL-sr4wh]

I've been watching since Turnin Rust. The old channel had a magic that kept me watching. Your new channel has it's own magic that I think is better than what you made in the past. Thanks for great content!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

yeah their editing has gotten a lot better on their pre-recorded stuff. finding their groove.

[@mrctheotherguyfromboston]

I have said it before and I’ll say it again. The two reasons that I enjoy your channel is because of the content you all produce. The other is the amount of love and respect you all have for each other. That alone makes your Dad one of the richest men on the planet. For a son and daughter to have the level of love and respect is every dads dream. I’m not a deeply religious person but I am very spiritual. I do believe God put you all on this earth to show the rest of the world what it means to be a family. Thank you all for another great video. Bless You All ❤️🙏

Rust rules... You too! Thank you for reviving so many forgotten classics! Greetings from Argentina 👍

[@gravedigr12]

those words you said in the beginning hit me like a ton of bricks my grandfather passed away and his funeral was two weeks ago he was 98 years old but he lived many lives I would say and meant a lot to many people and something about how you said that finally made it go from feeling like a negative to a positive he's living his next life now. rest in peace opa

[@lexusgui]

Happy to see Turnin Rust back. Just shows how being faithful even in the hard times God will bless.

[@paulhuggan-cammack2928]

I'm watching this in the UK. My dad had an Isetta 'bubble car' . May dad, my mum, my sister and me travelled thousands of miles in it! Brilliant to see what you did with it. Well done guys.

[@ThompsonMaple]

I love the sound these old cars make when they have practically no exhaust, loved the pops and fire when you changed gears on the speed test. Can't get enough of these revivals, keep on wrenching.

[@unclejustin7267]

Great episode. I was very pleased to see that little beast cruising down the road. You guys have some outstanding patience and skill to pull that off. It would have been hilarious at the car wash if you had washed away the suds and there was a newly restored Isetta underneath.

[@auggie803]

-OR IF half that car went right down the drain.

[@billlangdon9198]

Great entertainment. Love the content and your ways of working through and explaining the process of getting these old jewells running . Definitely subscribing to turning rust.

This would be so cool to see fully restored! Love it! 🥰

[@tsunsu]

Yes yes i would love that

[@johanjanssens4530]

I was born in 1947. In Belgium. I was 18 in 1965. At 60 Km/h a BRAND NEW BMW Isetta scared the bejeezis out of me in the pourng rain on cobblestones with tramway rails in short curves ... They did last forever, though.

[@Its_Cider]

I’m new here. My father bought a BMW Isetta new in the late 50’s / 60’s here in the UK when he was dating my mum. Some of the Isetta’s were 3 and 4 wheeled. While I worked for BMW in London in the 90’s I was fortunate to drive a customers Isetta, it was kinda scary but fun driving at 40 plus mph!

[@warbirdwf]

That was both super fun and enjoyable to watch. It's amazing that little engine still run after being dormant for 40 years. Nice job gentleman. Thanks for the great entertainment.

[@ninatrash5491]

I think about a modern car sitting 40 Years at that site.....no of that electronic engine things will still do anything....all condenser are dryed...all connectors are coroded....all plastic pipes gone No chance to get it on the road again like this mechanic thing

[@larrypowers2749]

I enjoy watching this father and son team up to give new life to forgotten machines ! Thanks!

[@Steelflight773]

You guys are the best car restoration channel on KZbin in my opinion. I enjoy your videos way more over others.

[@ebbonfly]

That brings back happy memories of my BMW Isetta 300 my first car bought while still at school 15 years old, never knew these were sold in America. Sold it for £9 just over $10 worth serious money now.

[@haroldrogers6083]

Had to believe how many of these Isettas y’all have found , I had never seen one but in a car show in Dallas , never saw any and I traveled all over East Texas with my Grandad while he delivered Butane and Propane when I was younger .

[@stan5513]

Great to see one running again. My brother built one with a Harley 45 flathead and Servi Car rear axle. It was his hobby until he drove it once. It went to junkyard heaven.

[@tbray]

You guys have all the best vehicles - the DS, this, the Saab, the Continental Sleeper...I'd be happy just to find one of them - great channel.

[@aaronkelly2439]

Thank you for all the quality content! This has become my favorite channel and an inspiration. I have recently completed a frame off restoration on my 66 bronco and will be driving it from Washington state to Florida next month! Keep the videos coming, they are appreciated!

[@raymonster55]

I LOVE the work you guys do getting these cars going again. I thought this one was a goner. No smoke from that engine!

[@stevef1076]

This channel should be called Resurrection, you really do bring these old beauties back to life,

[@klaushuntemann2924]

Oh Boys , im from Germany. I Look your Videos every time. But this with the BMW Isetta thats the best ever I Seen. Very very good....

[@markduncan6690]

I live in Goderich Ontario Canada! I was acquainted with a man who tried to restore a vehicle like yours! It did present it’s problem’s! Good Luck!

[@checkmatearts7836]

It was pretty cool seeing the isetta rescued. Be careful running an unserviced motor. They don't have an oil filter. There is a slinger on the end of the crankshaft. If it fills up with crud it will just overflow crud. A lot of them grenade after about 12,000 miles because nobody ever cleans the slinger. Also, be careful driving with the old rubber donuts on the shaft between the chaincase and the transmission. If that old rubber fails at 45mph it will wreck the transmission cover (very expensive part now days compared to replacing the rubber donuts). I have 5 complete cars plus a couple of spare bodies and enough spare parts to build another car out in my barn. My car I drove most of the time would get to 55mph.

[@courtneesdad]

I’m thoroughly amazed. I thought that was a waste of time. You guys proved me wrong. Again. Now I want to see this thing on the road ❤️

[@wacholder5690]

Hi ! As far as I recall the engine is derived from the BMW R25 250cc motorbike engine with a Bing carburator. The 300 Version is just a slightly enlarged version. It is a single cylinder OHV engine - quite solid for its time. They added the dynastart and the fan aircooling to it. The original Isetta engine when it was built by ISO in Italy was an inferiour 2-stroke that tends to suffer on stuck pistons frequently. The engine has around 13 hp and a non-synchronized 4-speed gearbox *with* reverse gear. Which wasn't standard on microcars / bubblecars back then. It has a 12V system. And the Isetta has been produced with over 160.000 units between 1955 and 1962. Thanks for sharing !

[@coopersmith5946]

I've noticed with two of the videos I've watched soo far on your channel is that you give the oil a quick check, but you don't change it before running the engine. I've learned the hard way not to do this. Ended up with spun bearings in a Farmall H. Anymore I always change the oil before I even start em. Oils cheaper than needing a full overhaul. That's my only thing I gotta add. Do love what you are doing and wish you guys best of luck with all the cool stuff you find.

[@isettafilm]

Isetta is always saved by kind people. Looking forward to the restoration⚒

[@hillbillywisdom777]

I was subscribed to turnin rust with you in the very beginning, I went through the tough time with you and the starting over from scratch with restored. I'm not sure how I feel about turnin rust now, I feel you were greatly wronged by that guy. I don't think I will resubscribe to turnin rust. I feel like now that you are having great success on your own I think that is the best way. Be Blessed.

My Father had one traded in at his AMC/Rambler Dealership back in the early 1960's (probably 62 or 63). We had a blast driving it around town. Dad claimed he had it up a little over 60MPH at one point, and said it took a long time to get it there. I miss that car.

Interesting video! I think that you guys should soup it up a bit, maybe re- gear all the speeds, so that 4th gear will get you to about 60-65 on the road, just for a cushion of speed if needed !, as a kid, the neighbor across the street came home with an isetta, lower body was red, upper body/top was white, and my dad flipped out ( in a good way) saying he had never seen anything so strange !, neighbors took me for a ride, it was like a tiny car-like go-cart ! The seat was red/white checkerboard with a vinyl piping dividing the backrest part of the seat from the lower part, the upper part of backrest was white vinyl, hopefully I described it without much confusion 😀. The top sunroof part had a white vinyl folded section, like VW had on their beetles, you had to manually slide it back and lock it in place, sealed fairly well if it was raining! Have fun fixing it up!
