Awesome as always. I’ve got zero experience but have read that it’s not really feasible to combine the subframe and tranny off of the car and install it as a single unit. Maybe someone else who knows better can elaborate. Cheers.👍
It’s actually the exact same set up as what I used for my very first engine build time lapse from several years ago (the very first video in my squareback restoration playlist). Same pieces of scrap metal bars with the same hardware to mount the (newer) camera onto the same engine stand :)
Man I remember showing someone my squareback fresh out of paint and bragging about all the shaved bodywork when he said “I hope you never have to replace your shifter linkage” 😮😢
While watching you fighting the removal of the lines, it made me think of how I use my mighty vac to suck new fluid to each brake. It might also work to evacuate the lines of fluid for an operation like this.
Nice work Brother. I can send you a plane ticket anytime you want to come to Florida and work on my race car. You are an excellent mechanic very good at attention to detail.
Dude, I was just talking to my brother about this. Did you chop off the ones off your Type 3 tubes and welded onto the Type 1’s or did you just custom fabricate your own and welded onto the tubes? Also, before you did this, did you notice any significant difference when not using the Z-bar?
@@jeremydocI found a second set of the type 3 axle tubes and cut off the z bar guides as I wanted to keep my original set as spares, then welded on the new while the tubes were still attached to the box. My car is still in resto so I haven’t driven it yet.
I’ve been wanting to do it a while now, just been waiting for the right time to do everything all at once. Maybe start making a list of everything you want to do, and eventually, it’ll be worth your while haha.
thanks Joe! yeah, these next few weeks, i'm taking a deep dive into working on the square so I can get it back up and running ASAP. I've got a few videos-worth of content I have to edit as well so I won't really be outdoors anytime soon haha
@@jeremydoc it's the gray truck next to the white car that's next to the silver SUV that's next to the gray SUV. 😁 oddly enough there is a blue Mustang in there.
Gteat detailed video, i like how you show your mistakes, it makes it more real. Those oil pump nuts are too deep as the nylon is not locked onto the thread. So 1 year on, how did it run?
Hey, you got a similar ride to mine. The two differences being, mine's a 61 and yours is nowhere near as rusty as mine. Thanks for everything you're doing bud. Cause of this I might just make it through this colossal pain in the ass of a promise bound passion project.
Hey bro what’s the process of replacing your add cuz I know you have to drain the oil out but What’s the torq spec for the bolts to get it back on and how much oil do I use and where do I put it and is there anything else liquid or stuff like that that I will have to add back in after doing this?
It's amazing the number of VWs you see with clean, fresh bodies and interiors but the same old rusty ragged out engine and transmission they've always had. I like this take much better, focus on the mechanicals first!
This was 100% my approach when starting this project several years ago. Gotta make it run/drive first before I make it look pretty. No use in a good looking car that rides like junk, or not run at all haha
