    I've just bought a 1972 Bug in Silver. It's original untouched, left in garage unused and not started since 2003 I can't wait to get it collected! Any trips on starting?

    I comment a lot. Sorry. I have found that adjusting the stars all the way until the wheel locks (one at a time), not just drags, and then backing off the adjusters to the appropriate drag yields a much better brake adjustment. (On VW)

    Hey! I’ve been enjoying your bug videos. But I have a question. I probably don’t know the first thing about cars but there’s this 1974 VW beetle for sale online and the seller said it won’t start, it has no ignition key, and there’s no battery. It’s fairly cheap ($2,000). Should I keep looking or would this be an easy find with an easy fix? Please let me know. Thank you!

    Hey musty I'm pretty sure that you're aware but I'll tell you anyway you know you can bypass those fluorescent light ballast and straight wire the end sockets and put LEDs in and it works perfect and LEDs are less energy and last a hell of a lot longer in your camera will love them

    Excellent videos! Have a question, do you know where I can get the plastic cap that the choke heating element sits in on a Solex VW 34 pict-3 carburetor?
