Be right back gotta take a Dump

Man that's a cool VW, always wanted a Thing. Sometimes being a poor single father sucks.

Had those speed wrenches in the Military (1970's)

Counterfeit !!!

I’ve taken my engine out of my bus more times than I can remember. I don’t have it know but you took me back. So easy to work on. And don’t forget the importance of good tin and seals in the back. 👍👍

That faded tail light lens is slowly killing me as I watch this episode!

A summer bug, nice.

Glad I was wearing my safety boots when you dropped your steal bar at 41.41 😂

I can't believe he used a window crank to unwire an alternator. What'next. Is he going to use a body hammer to repair a carb?😅

Watts in the frunk?

jug kit and a cam are cheap. headers etc

I used to go romping around on the trails with my Dad's unmodified 66 bug. My 67 Squareback was great for some light off-roading as well. My dream car was a Thing, but I could never find one in my budget. For the record, I paid $200 for my first squareback and bought two more (both 71's) for $25 and $50 respectively. Used to help my brother convert the bugs to Baja buggies cutting them up a bit and bolting on fiberglass fenders and cage bumpers. Must have done a dozen or so of those. This brought me back. In California, we didn't have near the rust issues. Almost none, unless we got a NorthEastern bug in, for some reason. Dad worked at a VW dealership service department, so there was always something.

Are Poser Fishermen a thing?

Im screaming at the tv get a hook pick lol

Very nice Mustie. I'd keep it.

At the 44:35 Mark by the handle of the screwdriver the brass looking thing what is that for I have that on my 70 bug has 2 wires coming out of it

WOW... does this ever bring back memories. The late 70's into the early 80's I used to build bug engines and did one van engine. If I had a garage I would love to have come across this "Thing", no pun intended. I loved all of my Beetles after I worked through all the little problems that most bugs had from the factory. The very last bug I built would pull the front wheels off the ground about an inch on take off from stop lights and run quicker quarter miles than stock '79 Camaros.😁

Thanks for the great information great video

You should make some shirts that say "Ask me how I know?"

that sure is a nice thing you got there

Thanks!

VW Things might not be prettiest or fastest but they are an experience in themselves. sweet score Mustie.

thats a pretty cool score!!! you are definitely the man with the hoard to fix things up!!! thanks for the videos!!

Whaddya mean Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan!!! :P

Mustie, quality adjustable coil-overs are totally reliable and do not lose pressure in winter when snow and ice build up on the lines and tug them free or just snap them!

Can you recommend any sources for getting the good parts, and those tools you mentioned here? I just picked up a 74 Karmann Ghia, going to need new pans and vaious other parts.

I came to this channel because of VW. But got so invested in the other project I forgot all about vw. I love to see you go back to my favorite car Vdub.

You could get the soft top for it and swap around as needed. A beautiful example of the car.

Where did you find the air shocks? I need some!

😁👍👍

1:20:51 Might be able to fix that bleached out amber lens portion with "stained glass paint" in the amber/orange color range or even "Tamiya Clear Orange X-26". Do several layers of paint to build up the right shade and color.

nice find,enjoy.

Wheels look really, really good you were right.

Ain’t nothing but a Thing. You wouldn’t understand it’s a Thing Thing.🤪😜

This is what I came for a few years ago… VW engines… I stayed for everything else… keep up the good work Mustie1. Hello from Lancashire in the UK.

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

I did my comment before watching the drive -by .That Thing looks so Cool.

Your hydraulic pallet jack table is how you should be R&Ring the engine. Waayyy more secure than a floor jack.

Don't you just love the sound of an air cooled engine!!

Looks like a fun little car to drive around.

Always enjoy your company!

Volkswagens are so different that they make one want to open the windows, go for a hike and swim in a lake.

With the way the frame rails look, it definitely needs a frame off restoration. Beautiful body on this old Galaxy though. Absolutely worth the project if you're willing to invest the time and money to make it happen.

Musti, did you replace the O ring in the flywheel? If not you will ruin another clutch! There is no exchange between the clutch and rear main seal it oils the back of the flywheel not the clutch surface!

do NOT stop @ a light and keep the clutch pedal depressed as it will damage the TO bearing, always place trans in Neutral and get your foot OFF the clutchpedal...!

Would love to have that car...nice

Done it a lot of times.....................2 elongated jack stands......remove left rear tire. pull engine back drop and then exit engine from left rear fender area. engine swap can be done in about 45 minutes running to running in approx 45 minutes. even faster with help

worked on these at the dealership when they were new. That top starter bolt needs a smear of ribbon calk and that will hold it from pushing out of the starter while trying to thread the nut on the other side. BTW, OBD = On Board Diagnostics. That plug in the engine area is not OBD but connects to the various sensors that were built into the car so a single plug to hook up a full-size scope. It had wires to all the electrical, #1 plug wire, timing sensor (on the flywheel?) battery charging, and that extra wire at the coil to grab RPM sensing. Oh, I also have one in basically pristine shape (no rust, 14K showing) that could be for sale in the near future. Asking price will be under $25k. (lower Ct)

O ring on the flywheel inside???

Mustie is the man. Learn things here. And he entertainment.
