Did he buy it? i thought the other guy bought it?
Thanks for the follow up on the engine. I learned a lot about the cam and distributor gears.
Loving the extra wednesday videos.
weld the camgear in place-run it 😁😁
You need to take the fuel pump off and the phenolic spacer out to be able to remove the distributor drive gear. The fuel pump operates off the drive gear and will not allow it to be removed.
I love revival videos like this, and your VW stuff is just about the best there is. Always feels like I'm in the shop with ya.
Recently done a few of my own that I'm pretty proud of. I don't have the time, space, or funds to do quite as many as you have but I've enjoyed them nonetheless.
gday m8. when i was younger in the early 60s my father had an austin a50. it broke the cranke on the flat part of the jernal. it had the same sound. i thought strait away broken crank. bugger i was wrong. lol.
I can believe that, why would I not, videos named , "you won't believe what!" I know most people are like that's incredible, "why", that's unbelievable, "why" people use wrong words makes them and others seem so DUMB! Yes very believable.
Would like to see a tear down of this motor and/or build up of whatever motor goes back in. Always makes for a good video
I am really surprised that it ran especially after seeing the damage. Another great video
Dead but you still made 'er run! XD And hey, parts is parts! I need to build myself an engine for the better of my 2 Bugs.
Steering-wheel looks mint at least! Plenty of good bits to save. So… When's the first-wash video? ;D
Say, were there many usable parts in the rest of the barn? I recall you two hauling some out.
interesting knife pointer
Amazing that engine even ran at all
Another awesomeness autopsy. Right into the gizzards and found a broken washer. Pretty Mighty mighty!
