Great video. I'm restoring my 1976 automatic VW T2 camper and this video really came in handy.

@@acbrosnan1 that's awesome, I'm glad it could help!

[@hamishcruden7623]

Fantastic job, well done. What a rebuild...and it moves... even if you still need to make some minor adjustments... good on you!

[@hifivegarage6977]

Thank you! Its definitely been a journey but I've learned alot and I cant wait to finish it!

[@matthiasschulze393]

kind of looked like an exhaust leak under that motor as it left the garage...

[@jasonburton487]

Awesome that it moves ! I know the problem but won't spoil it for others 😅

[@hifivegarage6977]

Hahhaha thank youuuu!

Nice automatic! I have an automatic as well & actually enjoy driving it. I had to figure out how to get a kick rod to work and to turn my carb backwards for it to all work together. Im still a newb in this but we set my idle a little high as well. Once I put it in gear then, it drops down to a good place.

[@hifivegarage6977]

Yeah the autos are definitely interesting, but it's been a blast to drive either way.

[@jamie-r2034]

@hifivegarage6977 hell yeah!! I appreciate the videos on the engine build too. Id love to find an engine to start tearing apart and learn to rebuild myself. Thanks brother, enjoy your bus man!

I think i know that noise... I had that trouble this weekend... My starter wouldn't stop engaging while the van was running, or it would kick in and out. In my case i had a hard start relay that went bad. And it killed my starter and i had to replace it and remove the hard start relay.

[@sdaroota]

Yeah i am almost sure you starter is sticking in the engaged position

Dude I have the same noise
