answered in the first second…YES it runs…. the question is dose it actually do the job

Anyone else screaming modified hacksaw blade for both a tool to release the drawers, and for the missing drawer slide stop 🙂

I just gave that exact same tractor to a friend because the mower deck was just getting worn out. I used that mower for 24 years before I bought a new one. Motor still ran like new.

Thats a McCoy 19. Its .19 cubic inches displacement. Not 119 cc.

wow that thing is gonna be race ready now

Man, you are a VW master! Don't know why they'd design it with the bolt hidden back there but there's a lot of questions when it comes to come of the vw stuff, haha. Mixed bag it seems. Also, nice "END PEED ONE" sign. Those wheels look great!

on my Super Beetle. kind of took the engine out to address that.. overheating.. in 2010. so the engine was fine, oops.

you might be able to reach out to @Cast_Iron_Curiosities he does alot fo these engines and might be able to help you find parts

You would be easier to watch if you had a nice bald peen hammer instead of a body hammer. My body hammer cost so much I cringe when you hit those steel pins. Naw, just kidding. You do a good job with what you have. I love your air hammer too.

I haven't seen a Ford trunk yet that hasn't rusted out, even down here in the sunny south.......

Ok take rod out of shaft then tac wield sproket or pulley to it old bearing or big washers wi cable on bar like hand bar and lever to totate like the themb throttles in banshies

Yup Mustie is the man. Bringing me back to my youth when i worked on Volkswagens, a 66 with a 6 volt electrical system. Loved that car!!!!

"what could possibly go wrong?" followed by an ambulance ride video

Someone should remake those so they could be used in case you got stranded somewhere far out with a vehicle breakdown and you can get back to town that's got a large gas tank I bet it would go for miles

Thanks Mustie, always something to learn.

I think you should take the best one of those track paddles that haven't been worn as much and estimate its original dimensions then put it into CAD and 3D print a lot of them if you're going to keep this to ride or sell

@30:30 thx for reminding me I need a new parts washing brush...Ha!

There is a compact soft top that is much cheaper and effective for keeping off the rain when traveling in a Thing. Available at any shop that sells Hats and Coats.

My grandpa had every attachment for that , including a chainsaw that I never saw him use. He had a wooden cart for it and would ride me all over as a small child on his 10 acres... Good times

You could always find you a solid frame.

You are a great man. Love your stuff, real old school fun yungsters could learn so much from you! your great 👍

Why you doing this its way too far gone

I always thought they were called type 181 never hurd them called thing .

There's a knob under the seat for the adjustment of how slow or fast it goes up and down. Worth a shot.

The front end is out of whack? I’m pretty sure that somewhere in the Mustie1 hoard he has a few different types of whack

That's a nice boat. I just picked up a 18ft 1987 bass trophy that's been sitting for years. First time working on a boat. Wish me luck.

That was a mean sounding Snapper...True Dual exhaust...

Thanks for the shop time Mustie1!

I think that "balls out" may have been the phrase on the on old governors. "balls to the wall" would be for airplanes.

That seating arraignment was called the 2+2 in the Mustang fastback. I would assume in this one also. Too bad about the frame but depending on what he wants to do they're available, just not cheap for aftermarket.

Looks like a generator rather than alternator. Repair weld in spud for heater boxes are easy.

Thanks!

Should do well in the snow. 🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✅✅✅✅✅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🫵🏼

Are you going to buy that engine, I would if I had a VW

Have you been pleased with your Wildfire Lift?

Im a hammer it into the box kinda guy.

Anything can be fixed its just how bad do you want to fix it and how much $$$ you got

Ah , my 62 bug dune buggy with the 1200 cc . Can't get out of its way.But fun as hell. 54 years ago

Hey Musti, what brand and models where those air chocks? :)

wouldnt of paid a grand for it.

Always loved the 'Thing' and, wanted one. Just one of those really unique cars that doesn't need to go fast or anything. Good goin' Darren!

Sweet!!!

Hi Darren- I just wanted to send you something small to put towards tools or a yard sale purchase or whatever. Im not a mechanic, but grew up on a farm and always enjoyed time spent with my Dad - I nicknamed him MacGyver as he was always tinkering with something or other. I really enjoy your videos, particularly the variety of things that you work on. Thank you very much for all you do.

Back in college my father warned me that what it would be like when the throttle cable would break... it did!!! I used two coins to get it loose... walked about 1/2 miles to the shop and bought a new one. Got it is as tight as I could and drove it home. so easy to work on.

I like it.

37:40 love that famous Mustie "IT'S ALIVE!" giggle

Pretty Cool !!

I know these larger videos probably mess up your algorithm for RU-vid. However I'll say it again I like these because I get to watch them through the week. It's nice not to have to wait so long to watch another one that way!!!! Also like the VW stuff.

Kubelwagen # 2 = Keep it simpel😀

love it
