go to 5:22 and look at the fuel pump. Its already wet at the flanges. Looks like it was a slow seap by the gaskets. The BrakeKlean may have removed the sealing dirt around the edges ;)

Recording video regardless of broadcasting seems to have a certain benefit to a build I guess. Tho you are much more interesting than the cursing and swearing I would have to bleep if I ever did... Looking at a Porsche 914 2.0 for my build.

Mrs Jeff’s facial expressions while you’re talking absolutely crack me up 😂😂

I love the way you keep cutting steel and are chasing things back an forth across the vibrating steel

I once (as a teenager) did a repair on a 1960 Valiant and was very proud of myself. Jumped in and started it up and it ran perfectly, up until a screwdriver I had left atop the air cleaner, fell into the fan and impaled itself in the radiator. Keep on and please paint that car some color other than yellow; all the best to you both!

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

That would have sucked! Definitely not going yellow ;)

@johnd5805 6 лет назад

Nice quilted attire Ms. Jeff. That is a beautiful blue color.

I work nightfill and so whenever I get on break at work I always see your notification I’ve actually started to time my breaks around when you upload 😝

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

Haha, glad you enjoy them.

Story for you Jeff, brought my second beetle in 2006 from a lady in Gundagai.A few kms from Gundagai started smelling fuel, stopped at garage to find fuel all over the motor, grabbed my daughter water bottle and wash fuel away, stuck fuel line back into carb and had very slow trip back to Sydney. True story 😊 and still have it ❤️

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

It sounds like we are both lucky to have found the leaks before any nasty consequences

@2litrepeter. 6 лет назад

Engine and bay came up nice. 😎

@RWBJeff 6 лет назад

Those two bendable hoses are the same as in our Porsche 964 going to the heater under the dash.... I bought my 1970 240Z yesterday. Going to start my build soon.

@lockygolfer 6 лет назад

Good work catching that fuel leak! That’s the advantage of a nice clean engine bay- you can see them leaks early!

@EB240 6 лет назад

Good work jeff!

Hi Jeff, buy a new Fuel Pump, you can try to change the diaphragm from the original one, but you might still have problems. Buy a new sealed one, put (a lot of) grease where the pin presses from below and be happy. :D The paint in the tins made difference, nice results! Cheers, Paulo

@mikl911 6 лет назад

Luck you noticed the leak when you did! Engine bay looks great!

@mrrberger 6 лет назад

1: Nice jacket Mrs. Jeff, a real racer style, you should drive the Porsche in that. 2: Jeff you just need Manila folder card to make another gasket, I've used it throughout carbs and water systems. Use a ring binder hole punch as a nibble to get holes and radii, I even spray one side with adhesive for easy assembly. 3: try to weld the outside corners not inside, it's easier to grind back for a clean finish.

@ActionM 6 лет назад

well done!!!!!

@Anthonysan86 4 года назад

The funny thing about this, I looked up the best way to clean up because I just got back home from a campout, and your bug is the same color and roof rack set up on my 57 oval

@koolkar55 6 лет назад

Luv that Bug

@edgardarcas5290 6 лет назад

Your fuel pump seems to be at the end of its useful life, it is leaking through the bottom, quite possibly the membrane on the inside may have a hole in it, it is actually good that you catched this leak because it can dilute the oil in your motor as gasoline seeps down to the crankcase, these fuel pumps are quite inexpensive and it is a very good idea to change the oil after you change the pump.

@soranrix 6 лет назад

good thing you remembered not to drill a hole in the metal sheet he he as always keep up the good work regards Sören

@stewartpalmer7039 6 лет назад

I was following a beetle back in the 70's whoosh the engine bay went up in flames.

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

Yep, unfortunately it is all too common.

@computiNATEor 6 лет назад

I think a quick spray of satin black on the inside of the engine cover would look very nice.

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

It is on the list ;)

@computiNATEor 6 лет назад

Way ahead of me :)

Poor Beetles. The never get a pan off resto, always a "fixing up."

@Scisca1a2a 4 года назад

It would be great if you did a more DIY type of video, where you actually showed how to clean the engine, what to unplug and why, how to reconnect it, etc. I'm starting my journey of learning how to work on my Beetle and would appreciate any such info that could help someone who isn't a mechanic, but wants to become competent

@HomeBuiltByJeff 4 года назад

Check out Heidi and Frannies Garage, they do a heap of great Beetle vids ;)

@Scisca1a2a 4 года назад

@@HomeBuiltByJeff I do follow them and have learned a lot, but the more content the better. I can't really find a complete guide on cleaning the engine bay without damaging the engine

@MattNZ1975 6 лет назад

Been in New Zealand Mr Jeff. Should have let me know and I’d have shouted ya a beer.

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

I will be back there probably once a year as my inlaws moved back to Central Otago.

@kevinhamling4675 6 лет назад

G'day Kevin here. Engine came up nice. But i noticed you need an engine to body rubber seal.

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

I have ordered all of the rubbers for the car along with a bunch of other stuff, just waiting for it to come from the UK.

@peterboussounis6237 5 лет назад

Where did you order from Jeff can you include the link.

@truthseeker8483 6 лет назад

Gasket back to front...upside down?

@awfull_art_on 6 лет назад

Probably just needs a new diaphragm in the fuel pump, they are easy to dismantle.

In re 3d printing; there is a guy in your neck of the woods.. "Makers Muse" perhaps he could make carbon fiber nylon reinforced parts for you..

@hotdognr12323 6 лет назад

The solvent from the paint might have reacted with the gasket.

@theclydesdalemtber2194 5 лет назад

Hi Jeff, are you using an inexpensive welder or have you gone all out on an expensive version. Cheers. Trent

@HomeBuiltByJeff 5 лет назад

That is not really a good question. The price of a welder doesn't tell me anything about it. This is done with an inverter MIG with .8mm wire and Argon mix gas.

@theclydesdalemtber2194 5 лет назад

@@HomeBuiltByJeff sorry I'm new to it all and am trying achieve my own goals and just want to know what an outlay would be or whether I can do things on a budget.

@@theclydesdalemtber2194 You need to have a look at some reviews of the exact welders you are looking at.

new fuel pump time . lucky it happened at home with your bonnet up ,or you could of had a Molotov cocktail

@HomeBuiltByJeff 6 лет назад

Definitely. Also good it happened after I cleaned it up, otherwise I may not have noticed it in with the mess.

Might not be a bad idea to keep a fire extinguisher in that car.

Make the engine trully beautifull get Mrs Jeff to an overnight engine swap simple you sleep she swaps it out for the Porsche motor and trans oh the fantasy world is such a good place lol

I was offered a Porsche 914 engine yesterday, but this is not that type of build.
