METAL WORK ON THE '59 - Semaphore 1959 VW Beetle Revival
Some of your video's opening minutes are simply uninformed, and if you had an owner's manual you would have understood. The hood is latched with a lever under the dash, not by forcing it down on the hood itself. The opening in the front bumper is where the spare tire is kept - rather than taking up the limited space of the front trunk like VW's of that era. Having said that, my Dad had a1958 Dauphine that was a disaster. He wanted a VW Beetle but it had a waiting list of a year and couldn't wait. He had to hand crank it in winter as its 6V starter couldn't turn it over fast enough in winter. It's main engine bearings failed within a year and he traded it in at a great loss as he still had another full year of loan payments. Despite all that, in August 1958 we went on a vacation at the NJ shore. It was a 4-hour drive. My dad drove with my mom in the front passenger street. My overweight grandmother and short skinny grandfather were in the rear passenger seat. I was 4 years old, and my 2 year old sister and I sat on our grandparent's laps (no seat belts!) Some luggage was in the front trunk, but the bulk of it was on a strap-on roof rack, topped off with my fire engine pedal car, all held on with bungee cords. It wasn't a pleasant trip with no air conditioning.
I've restored a couple of 1302S or super's as you call them. In the UK only supers/auto's had IRS rear suspension. Not everyones cup of tea but they made great daily hacks when that was still a thing. Over here most are long gone as early T2 owners want the gearbox for straight axle conversions. I feel your pain on this one!
Great video. They must salt roads where you are. Looks like the shop is busy.
W0W, that's a lot of crusty and not much metal. This could turn into an expensive job. It will be interesting to see video 2. So, thanks for sharing. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
All I can see is the seats in the orange one.
And this is exactly why I’m patching the pans on jawbreaker and not pulling the body…. What a can of worms 😂
It's always amazing to see how half-assed people play with a welding machine and you have to fix their mistakes. Well done, Taylor 😊
I’m usually the one half assing it 😂
So proud of you not saying a bad word when that pry bar ate your thumb!
Anyonne that says bugs are easy to work on is "NUTS !!!"
I used to have a Opel GT 1900 ,1969 from 1974 to 1984!! Loved that car and miss it!!
never done a super. back in the day if it needed any body off services the car went to the crusher. not now!!
Good dose of truckers arm sun tanning in evidence 😂
That was fun to watch. Never see that done before. Looks like it would be an easy job if the bug wasn't rusted out or welded.
Would like to know the average cost on each rust fix.
I felt that thumb crunch. Way to work through it.
CRUNCHY
Crispy!
I'll take bets the owner puts a halt to it. I feel for you though, that looked harder than it should have been.
@@dalewyatt1321 way harder! It was welded to the body in a couple spots and there was no rubber body seal, it was all glue/sealant.
That going to be a expensive rust project for the owner.
Do I know that SM in the background? I think so.
You do 😏
No way ! We didn't get to see the money shot !!! WTH !!! 😅😅😅😅
25:15 The Rick burp had me ROFL
Probably a runner there for a while. cold oil pressure was good. Just make sure to clean as much of the sludge out of the bottom of the case as you can. Tin it up and run it. probably good for at least 20k miles.
@@Mikefngarage I’d split the case in an earlier video and cleaned everything out. There was an impressive amount of sand in the sump.
Great to see you back. I'm glad the motor is working pretty well.
Great video. I was cringing when you were using the Jack on the pry bar. I would put a heavy mat on it to absorb the energy when it breaks.
Nice to see you're back!
best sounding boat anchor ive heard
So fun. A 1970 was my first car in 1979. The wiper fluid delivery is cool with the foot pump.
Cha cha changes. Good luck with everything. 👍🏻
So much light!
Fantastic shop man!!
Engine sounded decent…. It might surprise you and last a while.
Yeah I think I am likely going to stick it in my ‘64. Need to fix all the leaks first 😂
Glad to see you in your new shop Taylor!
You know what Click and Clack of Car Talk use to say…..any oil is better than no oil!
@@dcmflydude6320 one of many VW mantras 😂
Ok…new name for bus….Squeaky
LEAVE GLORIA ALONE SHES OLD 😂
Yes, two essential VW tools…..pry bar and large hammer 😅
Really nice work space!
Welcome back.
Yea! you're back. You gotta be loving the new shop.
Sounds good. It might last a while, if you use good engine oil. And don't abuse it with high rpm speed.
@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle like I said, it won’t last long 😂
@wickedwerks Hopefully it will prove us wrong, and last longer than we expect it to. 🤞
Maybe time for a new shop tour…? I’m hoping both moves were for positive reasons and glad you are back online.
Good to see you tinkering again! Alle the bets wishes for your new shop location! 🤘
The headlight cha Ching is called an actuator. In other words you couldn’t make the actuator work.
Dunno man. Says it’s called a cha-ching in the manual.
Really great work, I just purchased a 75 beetle and the previous owner convert to carb and he keep the distributor the dual. And I’m looking to change it. And what your suggestion. And I got a Carb 34 PICT-3. And also they didn’t not connect the cut-off-valve. Thank you
Don't take me wrong but Volkswagen and Fords are a lot alike in their both over engender. Touff .

My first car! My parent's 1971 light blue Squareback!
I remember these back in the day. They needed about 20 more HP rand about 1.5 liter. Mostly what was n3ded was a decent dealer network and decent parts supply. It was the support after sales that sucked. Attractive little car for its time
Enjoying with the grief you give each other and laugh about it. Of course the work on the vws. Thanks for the entertainment and vw projects.
Excellent video. The short length was perfect for the topic, so no apologies needed for the "short length." Well done!
Wow look at those gas prices
