My 1959 vw type 2 tuck went to larz Anderson Auto Museum last year and has sat the whole time, now its time to bring it back home and do some repairs. lets say it was a good thing we did not try and start it while it was in the building.
This sweet work van puts a smile on my face every time I see it. Cars and trucks used to have such friendly faces. It's all angry terminator robots today.
gas guzzling, over-legislated, planned obsolescence pile of self destructive buckets, the new ones are. more of a weapon sold to you as a commodity item
Oh my heart skipped a beat Darren when I saw crusty again. I was under the impression you'd sold him, after all he's worth a fortune. So good to see you just lent him out for a year. So happy to see his return Darren so happy. Great video as usual, love the channel.
Here in Canada that ball on your wheel is illegal unless you are disable, it's interesting how different the laws are in two neighboring places like main and New brunswick and also new Hampshire. I love watching these perspective videos makes you feel as though you are right there with you mustie. Beautiful place you live in. God bless you sir.
those speed steering balls are illegal in most states as well...i think the only applications i see them on are old heavy equipment and mustie vehicles
Everybody should have a chance to give up something they love for a year to a museum. Must be great to have her back. I definitely enjoyed the no-talk cruising part. Happy cruising!
Yeah!! Its a Sunday and it's a Mustie1 Day 😊👍 I really and sincerely look forward to this time. Make my day and week watching and hanging out while you do some wrenching.. Better then any thing you'll find on TV 👌
So good to see Crusty again! I came to your channel for the VW content years and years ago, you were still working on Lucy. Would love to see more VW's!
Thanks for taking me for a ride around my old stomping grounds, although it has been forty years since I was there as an airman at the base. Fox Run Mall had just opened. Beautiful area, but I shoveled enough snow for a lifetime!
Thank you so much for the ride Mustie! It's been so many years since i visited my last aircooled meeting and i really miss the rides. It was nice to be the passenger this time :) Those roads and the scenery are beautiful, lots of bends and undulations, like they're made for aircooled VW's Welcome back Crusty and good luck with the lawnmower :D
Oh man, I bought a 62 VW bug with a sun roof during the summer of 70 right before going off to college. Can't tell you of the learning I did under the bug , occassionly with the engine on a piece of plywood and keepin her running. Brought back plenty of memories on your ride home lookin out that windshield. Love the split. Thanks for the walk and the ride down memory lane. Bought my first metric wrench set also a pop rivet gun for that girl. Again, thanks!!!!!
We used to aim that accelerator pump nozzle at the edge of the venturi where it stuck out so it would make a nice spray pattern when the gas hit it. Worked great if you could get it aimed right.
Great story. A Volk’s Wagon from a Junk Yard in Vermont bought back to life and put in a car museum. Not many people have accomplished that. I have learned so much about carburetors from your channel. Great video Mustie 1
LOL at "runs like a kitten".....engine dies. Great you got Crustie home and are giving him some TLC. Looks like you all had a great drive in the country.
Yay! It's the Mustie and Crusty Show again! Very cool to see Crusty back. The resurrection was one of my favorite series of yours and on RU-vid. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Theres no greater feeling than a type 2 or Vanagon convoy. Really lifts your spirits to know you're not alone in your total madness.... I also have a steering wheel knob in my 85 Vanagon. Not strictly legal in the UK but it sure makes steering easier!
Seems that automobile enthusiasts are the best crowd to hang out with, everyone you met there, and pretty much everyone at any other meet you've taken us to, are really nice folks. That little girl trying to see the bubbles was so adorable, all the dogs too. What a quaint area, very relaxed, the road trip had me dozing off, but I like towns like that. No doubt in my mind that you'll have that mower going quickly, there isn't too much that can be wrong with an engine that age. :-)
Hi Dave. Three VW's in the cruise were mine. I've been in several different car clubs, and in my experience, they're not all that friendly. VW people are the best.
Fun ride around Portsmouth NH ... driven 1B And 1A So many times in countless modes of transportation ... the road into Hampton Beach is wicked fun on a motorcycle .... thanks for the ride!
Glad to see you have my favorite Volkswagen back home..your wrenching on the VW's brought me to your channel..my namesake Uncle Charles made a living restoring VW's after his retirement from the air force..so watching you work on them takes me back to some great memories..thank you for doing what you do.☺️👍
Thank you so much for that relaxing video, I have health issues, and don't hardly get out, It was so nice to see all that open road and nice country buildings and homes, you made my day! I Love all your videos!
I've been going to the Lars Anderson museum since I was a kid off and on. It's amazing to see how they find some of their awesome display cars. Congratulations!
Wow how time flies... Good to see you and Crusty back together again.. Thanks for the ride along cool VW show.. Enjoy all your videos keep up the great work 👍
That cruise was quite nice, thanks for taking us along for the ride. The plastic filter isn't the issue, it is the weight of the filter on the carb fitting. Also, that braided fuel line just don;t cut it with modern fuel blends, even without ethanol. 5 mm fuel line rated for modern fuels is now readily available, and fits properly. I use FI clamps, the don;t cut into the hose like screw type clamps. I also runt he filter over the trans, jsut after the tank. It should be on the input side of the pump, even if it is int he engine compartment. I have to admit, though it is always fun seeing what you drag home to resurrect, this time around felt good to me. Knowing exactly what you were doing, and how to do it was somehow pleasing. I just pulled a bug out of storage today, that had sat all winter. Fired right up once the carb bowl filled. Gonna start driving that rusty pile this week! My 68 single cab and 66 beetle are next on the list for driver status.
Thanks, Mustie 1. It's been about twelve years since my last air-cooled VW, so I really enjoyed this. I kind of don't understand myself and the allure that the air-cooled VW's have for me. My whole life they have drawn me in. Every time I think that I've had enough experiences with them, they have a way of creeping back into my life. And there's always the memory of the one I let get away and regretted. It was a sweetie '68 Deluxe Beetle wearing baby blue. I still have hope that one day it will find me again.
Thank you for the leisurely drive through New England. A lot of us never get to see that part of the country. I've always been curious about day to day life out that way.
Welcome home Crusty, Mustie in his element working on one of his baby’s. Good to see him home receiving some well needed love, soon be cruising around town and showing off in the parades. Happy mothers day to all n the US TOM UK
What a great cruise! Brings back memories from when I was a kid, my family was from New Market and we always took trips to Rye Beach and getting ice cream at Lone Oak formerly named Big Scoop. In my mid 40's now and haven't been back that way since I was a teenager...thanks for the trip 👍
Great to see Krusty back; doesn't seem like a year. Thanks for taking us cruising, thoroughly enjoyed the drive. I did a lot of miles around Scotland in a microbus of about the same vintage, mostly as a passenger(so the view from that seat is familiar), or loafing in the back - great memories. Sadly, the bus and it's driver have passed into history. Excellent video.👍
Another awesome video Daren, glad to see our old pal Krusty back in the house. Loved the nice tour you took us on through your town. Hope you are having a great day and happy mothers day to all the moms and grand moms out there.
I know this truck inside and out! Better than my own vehicles sure. And I'm under those often enough. Crusty's rise from the ashes is a great series of videos for those that haven't seen them.
My cat Jazz and I really enjoyed the ocean drive with Crusty! We're in the midst of dodging tornadoes here and working on our 1996 Honda Odyssey. Thanks so much Darren!
It's funny when you recognize the roads that Mustie was traveling on. The trip started 5 minutes from my cousin's house, and that park where the car show was is only 5 minutes from where I spent summer vacations as a kid.
Yeah I live on Hampton Nh… and I go putting around on all the road Mustie did.. Hudson Nh to York Me. Very informative video. Thank you Mustie and Crustie for your edutainment and travel video,
Funny the Museum didn't leave a pan underneath. Good to see Crusty home where he belongs. Been awhile since we have seen a VW video from you. I discovered you on VW and cool motorbikes you made. Of course I have seen all of your videos. You are the VW King. Just ask 5150vw and Josh. I still laugh when I saw the video where Josh told 5150vw to get Mustie1 to fix it. It was great. Still love the collaborative adventures with both you and 5150vw do/did. VeeDub love. Good work Mustie1. From a fellow East Coaster, representing right!
I remember the video of the parade you participated in for the shut ins during the dark days of the virus. It was very touching to see the people out waving for a minute of joy.
Neat little museum, I stumbled across it when I was in that area and had some time to kill a few years ago. The absolute icing on the cake that just made my day was the display just inside the front door at the time was a jag xj220, supercars aren't really my thing, but it was always one of my favorites.
Went there in 2019 for a Micro Car show. Learned about the show over the years from Hemming's Magazines. Years previously they had done a story on a kid (16-17) with a Trabant. The kid was there with the car. Told him "I read the story years ago. You've gotten a heck of lot bigger since then!!!" I want a Nissan Figaro. 2 were there. One was from Long Island. Woman that drove it up said no issues on the highway with it. A Nissan S-cargo was there. Just as goofy as the photos.
Really nice to see a VW update from you. I enjoy all your content hugely, but it was the VWs that originally lead me to your channel. I look forward to you hopefully uploading some more content on the old aircooleds. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧
Those are all beautiful. And rare. I have to remember real hard why I sold my 67 but once I do I can't say I miss the whole VW experience. It's an acquired taste and I never acquired it!!
Glad to see "ole" krusty back home and the cruise in her was fantastic. Another great start to my Sunday. Thanks Mustie...now off to my shop to work on my '73 body off
Mustie my wife and I brought a 73’ bus Sportsmobile back to life inspired by your years of videos! I was watching crusty’s cruise today and hoping you might do a video on properly adjusting steering. Or what is the proper free play on bus steering? Thx Mustie for sharing, love your channel!
Hey Mustie how’s it going I came across your show about 6 months ago and I have to say I have enjoyed every episode I have watched starting with the bringing back to life an old green marine engine about 6 years ago and just love your enthusiasm , your ability to explain what you are doing and what to look out for when working on stuff I especially love all the vdub content as I have owned and worked on 1972 , 1973 ,1978 buses 1x 1972 dual cab I put a Chevy Corvair engine and transaxle in the 73 and had a lot of fun with that back in 1979 Love the show keep up the great work Regards from Brian Brisbane Australia
Thats so cool to see a vehicle come back from a decades long slumber in a junkyard and see it being enjoyed and used reliably!! Such a shame so many classics were junked long before their time was due. I did the same style rebuild/revival on a 47 chevy wrecker truck that was in a junkyard for 40+ years. Its a good feeling.
As soon as you showed fuel coming out from where the lever pushes the diaphragm on the accelerator pump, I immediately guessed the diaphragm is what went bad. When you pulled the diaphragm out it helped me test knowledge, slowly but surely I'm learning more about cars. Especially from old timers and the internet. Also that push mower might potentially just have bad gas in the bowl if you end up having spark and it pops on a little fuel.
Welcome home old friend! Btw that’s the exact same engine as on my lawnmower (plastic carb and everything) no idle circuit on it for years, no matter what I do. So looking forward to the video on that one! Maybe after that I can fix mine.
Wish you well with it! Makes me wonder whats actually going on with yours thats causing it...I know a lot of drive-by-wire cars make the throttlebody work doubletime as the IACV too if you wanna go that route in some form for now? If I knew enough about the carbs on these things I'd love to help further. Lol
Seeing your rig remains me of the one my uncle had when I was 17, his was a 3 door, we used to use it for roo shooting, 35 year's ago, nearly went anywhere, all the best to you and your loved ones
Those carbs have a white plastic piece that you can carefully pop out with a small screwdriver. They have a couple of little brass inserts that have tiny holes in them that are your jets. Very carefully poke a tiny wire thru those holes and make sure they are not plugged. Then blow the thru all passages in that plastic piece with carb cleaner spray so that you know it’s clean. Also, spray some cleaner down in the cavity where that part fits into. Pop that piece back in the carb body and reassemble. Just be careful reinstalling that white piece. There is a separate tube inside the carb throat that has a hole that the long part on that piece fits down into. It can slide out of position and the white piece won’t be able to go back in. Look down inside that opening, and be sure you can see all the way into the carb throat. If not, you have to reposition that inner tube.
@@notajp yup. That’s exactly what i did. All the jets are clean, went together well every time. I even clean the gas tank every year and run it dry before putting it into winter storage. I’m thinking about just disconnecting the governor and attaching a throttle cable on a bicycle gear shift selector.
WHat an honor to have that show at a museum. I love that V Dub...!!!!! Crusty rules! I keep hearing Sanford and Son theme song and I know they are different trucks but the writing on the doors just classic.
Love Crusty! Mustie I have a question. Would you do a video on all of your fleet one day? I just noticed that you have the blue tundra? Would love to see the hoard of vehicles you have running and in process. PLEASE from a fan in CA
Thanks for the ride Darren ! Very pleasant. Man, those old New England small cities are nice. No damn "Power Center" and Walmarts to be seen around ! 👍😊
Thank you for giving us the Classic VW car ride. Sometimes it’s nice to disconnect from all technology. The peoples car needs to have the enjoyment of driving on the road. Brings back wonder memories when my father was alive driving me in his Classic VW.
One other fire hazard to look at is to make sure the metal fuel line that goes thru the hole in the rear tin is still there. Sometimes people will use a straight piece of hose from the fuel pump thru the hole in the tin and to the fuel hose under the car. As time goes by the sharp edges of the hole in the tin will wear into the rubber hose causing a leak and potential fire.
