this car was parked for 26 years unloved and full of mice, lets see if still has the will to live again? Jason(5150mxvw) has a video of getting the car here for those who are interested on the back story, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Dufe8ghHc&t=4s
I don't know how people live next to dogs like that 💀
You're the king.
I love the way he calmly blows out the flame on the end of his fuel bottle. So calm in the face of a potential conflagration…
would you have any idea why one side exhaust is not getting warm. engine is running but not right. I put in new spark plugs and leads and cap. but still one side is cold.
Have seen a los of this videos, where somebody starts up a car after it sat for x number of years. Will never understand why they mess around with old corroded breaker points…A set of points for a beetle is 10 bucks…
ASSASSINO!!!!!
question, when you get a fire like that at the carb 24:40, if you keep cranking will the fire put itself out? better to smother it before melting shtuff? thx @Mustie1
Sounds like your on the set of Cool Hand Luke.
I've always wondered if these old beetles are reliable once everything is put in good working order. I've wanted one since I was kid.
Dog needs a muzzle …seriously
The rear wheels started to turn!
Hey vwcoco another vw bug fan
Have you heard the new song, "The ballad of Mustie1" on YT???
Good video 's ðŸ‘ðŸ»
I had to stop watching this video because of the barking dog. That continued barking is unacceptable. Yes, I have dogs.
Sound like it was running on all four??? You high?? Maybe two at best
You probably know this , I use old emory boards to clean points other things around the engine.I just steal them from my wife.
How come nike doesn't sponsor Mustie? Every time you see him he rockin a pair of nikes. That's brand loyalty.
Has he cut himself yet? No… (disappointed face!)
Arf arf arf… arf arf arf… arf arf arf… etc etc, oh I am such a cat man, it's been 63 years and it is cats all the way down for me!
PS. I love dogs really, I just find cats more intuative. I also know that barking is something dogs started doing for humans and it is not the dogs fault their owner's a complete and utter pillock who really shouldn't be allowed to keep dogs if the only life they can give their dog is locked up in a yard all day.
Nice calm reaction on the fire
I believe it’s in fourth gear😉. Wheels a turning.
Did you put the rotor back on ???…
@
Mustie1 is there anyway you might be able to find/sell me beige 1969 beetle doors, hood and boot? In the the U.S 🙂
The engine is from a later 70s -altinaror and dual port told the tale on you.
Did you guys notice the tire was spinning when you gave it throttle??
What's up
Hi
somebody shoot that dog..
joke snowmuffins no offence
i had a 69 beetle automatic. you had to push down on the gearshift to change gears.. i had so much trouble i gave up on volkswagons.. now i wish i would not have.
well that was pretty darn cool there 🙂
Your an inspiration !
Just fired up my blown 77 Corvette after 14 years of sitting … poured some atf down the carbs and spark plug holes … after diagnosing a rusty ground she fired right up . It too had a mouse living in it . Idles nice except for some major blow by on the right head .
That dog sounds like a drill sargeant lol
That was great!
So that's the guy that left the blue plastic on his welding helmet?! Lol
Great video and great sound of that engine, are you never scared of burning the starter. I would never dear to run it as long as you do. Keep up the good work
Shut that dam dog up
Only Mustie would coolly blow out a flaming container of fuel. That whole video was so much fun! Thanks guys!
My dad had bought a red 65 back in the day. No radio but the rear windows opened. Somewhere around $1500. brand new.
well, she's a success she sputter out a couple mouse, that's was hilarious.
Great vid guys I see you have the exact same headlamp as I have from eBay. I use mine for dabbin garfish nice and bright. Jeremy Downunder
Hey @Mustie1, not sure if you know this, but just in case.
Just for easy points test, there’s a mode on your multimeter that beeps when there’s continuity on the points. Yes. Is basically the same as Ohms test, but below 50ohms, multimeter beeps.
It’s easy. Put the circle knob on ohms as always. Then, at top right there’s a switch that says DC/AC. Hit that switch twice. The multimeter now is in continuity mode. If you see closely, next to that switch there’s an Ohm sign, a diode sign and a speaker sign.
Each time you’re in ohms and hit that switch, you will change between resistance, diode test and continuity mode.
Really hope this helps.

Eviction notice the musty way , lol
hey how you i ejoy ur channel as well as ur work
When i see that ignition switch, I thank God I live in Arizona.
Soccer. According.
