It's alive!! Another VW back on the road. Right on!!!
I'm pretty sure this bus has become self aware and says thanks for the support John! We'll be doing some cruising soon!
Heya! Join me for the first ever Haptic Garage Video Premiere! I'll be here in the chat for the duration so grab your keyboard and some popcorn... we're pulling an all nighter!
You are like the Bob Ross of VW's. I'm old enough to remember air cooled VW's were a dime a dozen and parts were plentiful and dirt cheap. I had a hand full of bugs and somehow managed to keep them running, however after watching your videos i'm alarmed by how many mistakes I made while working on the engines. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Wow, what an amazing compliment. Ross really was someone special. Really cool that you were able to be immersed in VWs when there were more on the road. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, we'll keep at it. Thanks @robotcantina8957
You are so calm to watch. I would be crankypants after lack of sleep. Excellent progress
Thanks Andrew! I have to admit I sometimes get a little grumpy when hungry or tired, but an enjoyable task (and a little editing) go a long way to keep things positive. Thanks for watching!
Man that engine really looks sharp.
Thanks Backyard Kombi! Who says rattle can paint can't look good?!? Thanks for being here for all the stuff we did this weekend- it's always great to have you here!
Awesome, glad your able to drive it around. So satisfying with all that work that is a driver now.
Hey Vdub 6.1.8! Thanks for jumping in to the chat the other day, it's always good to hear from you. You're right- working on a Vdub is cool under most circumstances but it's extra cool when test drives are involved. Thanks for watching!
Another great video, I love the attention to detail where nothing is left to chance or left undone.
Great job Brent, you’re a real artisan at work, I always learn something from your videos and this was no exception.
Thanks Aussie Beatle, great to hear from you and I hope you are doing well. I bet I could learn a few things from you too; it's too bad there's so much water on the road between us. Thanks for popping in to the live stream the other day; I have really appreciated how you and others have supported my attempts to do more, and the real time interaction has been a treat.
@@HapticGarage I would have liked to stay longer on the live stream but I was working from home and had meetings etc.
I’ve had air cooled VWs all my life and learned all my maintenance and body work skills on them. I do see some similarities between us for sure znd I definitely covet your tools and workshop!!. I look forward to your posts very much. I follow a few channels but I enjoy yours the most.
Not a bad way to learn about maintenance and body work- these cars need both and teach us some cool stuff in return. Thanks as always for the support and kind thoughts!
Great video ! Love how you dont just throw money at it and you fix what you have. Looking forward to the bug.
Thanks Robert- sounds like we're on the same wavelength! I'm looking forward to working on Dweezil too- he's been so patient while the bus gets all the attention. A few more steps and we'll be there!
An all nighter.... haven’t pulled one of those in years. Congrats getting it on the road! First drive is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself!
Thanks Gary, I bet you've got one or two all nighters ahead with the '60 Beetle project and you're good for it. Thanks for the Congrats- gonna have to do some cruising!
@@HapticGarage a cruise is well deserved... just say when and we’ll meet up and head out.
@@VWJawbreaker Gonna have to take you up on that before it gets hot again. Hey- are you going to Lakeland next month?
@@HapticGarage let get going!
I’m definitely trying to make Lakeland, might be an entire family event this time.
@@VWJawbreaker That would be cool, I hope it works out and we get a little less rain this time... Ready for another show and some camping!
Congrats! absolutely love your work and your humour done a lot of work on my 1951 KOMBI I understand this dedication ! GOOD LUCK AND KEEP IT UP !!!
Wow a '51! Super cool project that would require a high level of dedication. Neat stuff. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel, thanks for being a part of it all!
Nice work, and congrats on getting it done for the drive. We’ve all been there before. Funny thing... I sit on the couch and I cannot stay awake... I start wrenching in the garage, and I could keep going all night.
I hear ya, JMK- there's something energizing about doing something we can't get enough of!
Well Done! Enjoyed the journey with you. Now it deserves a bath, after yours of course.
Thanks Adam, and yeah, both need a bath!
That's an amazing job !!!! What a great feeling during the first test drive. You have a great knowledge, easy to understand and a very fun way to speak. I have a 65 Brazilian Bus, with a 36hp engine. I've learned a lot with your channel. Congrats my friend, and greetings from Brazil.
Thanks Andre! I hope your Bus is doing well and that 36 horse is happy and healthy- what a cool combination. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel and thanks for representing Brazil!
@@HapticGarage yes my friend, the 36hp engine is going well, not so fast, but very well, hahaha.
Yeah, I guess it gives you more time to enjoy the journey. Still totally awesome in my book!
It lives! Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you, and the great video series showing how you did it.👍
Alive! It's alive!!! It's awesome to have you along for all this Nutt Farm Garage, thanks for your interest. More to come- we have to log some miles!
Looking great; no chrome!! 😉👍
Yes! This! You're speaking my language Vayabroder. Thanks!
Van-freakin'-tastic! About to resurrect my sleeping 67 Sundial Kombi. (She's my baby!)
Thanks Christian, vandelicious indeed! Good luck with the '67 Sundial- who wouldn't love such a magnificent bus?!?
Congrats on the successful test drive! You videos are alway such a pleasure to watch.
Thanks so much Christopher! It was great to reach this milestone and share the progress. More to come!
I have been watching from the beginning just how i like it complete from the rubber boots to custom fuel line that my kinda job ! Thank's again looking forward to many more video's to come
Thanks Neal, it was great seeing you in the other events this weekend- I appreciate your comments and support! We'll do some more soon!
Awesome! Its always a good ride for all your hard work.
Thanks Matthew, well said. Really really fun hard work, and even better to share the progress. Thanks for being here!
Really enjoying your work on the motor. I'm learning a lot and this knowledge and experience you share is going to help me and give some confidence.
That's great Tom, I'm glad you're finding the info useful. I'm sure you'll do very well on your bus project, keep us updated!
Nice to see the vintage vehicles reborn and on the road.Congratulations well done!
Absolutely Vadim, we have to keep these things alive! Thanks for the support!
Congrats 👍👍, she a runner.
Thanks Mike, a runner indeed. Thanks for coming along on the ride!
Nice feeling, the first ride after all the good work.
You are correct @Kombi Batuta, was really nice to finally go for a drive!
dude what a trip ,you pulled a all nighter . that was a great video . great editing . really good job . lets not forget about the bug . hope to see some bug videos soon .
You said it bad91teg, that was a trip. Thanks for the support and a reminder about the Dweezil- really looking forward to reviving that project!
Definately inspired. I will be glad when im at that point with my project. Cant wait to see it in the daylight. Awesome job!!
Love it. Just awesome to hear from someone who is revved up and ready to tackle their project. Go after it Benjie! I'm looking forward to sharing more (including daytime shots). Thanks for the support we'll see you soon!
Great job man. Really enjoyed this exceptional video, my friend.
Thanks Mike! It was great hanging out today (everybody watch for the Good Old Mike podcast on 2/19/21) and thanks for the support this weekend!
Great video my bearded friend
Thanks Bearded G! It was a cool moment, thanks for being here for it!
Good work 👍 greetings from germany
Hello Bounty and thanks for representing Germany and the birthplace of VW!
Great episode man! I've been looking forward to watching this one. I'm at a similar stage with my bus! Just working through some sloppy shifting issues. Cant wait to see you on the road one day!
Thanks Brandon, I'm glad to finally share this milestone! I hope you get your shifting issues worked out- it'll be great to have your project on the road. Maybe we'll cross paths at some point!
Great Job missed those day of midnight oil burning!!
Thanks Joseph! It's good fun. Not too great for the sleep cycle, but fun to do and fun to remember!
Hey Haptic, Great video very well explained and Instructional performance. Great work congratulations with the test drive and the final tryout. Love it I`m saluting you, Hubertus stay safe and happy.
Thanks so much Hubertus! It's always great to hear from you and I appreciate your excellent feedback.
@@HapticGarage Always great to see your excellent videos and restoration. as well a lot of people has the opportunity to learn while whatching.
Thanks Hubertus!
So happy to see another video. Been waiting for this one.
Thanks Thomas, it's great to post another one and share the progress. Thanks for being here for the update!
Great video! Love the tricks and tips you share.
Thanks!!

I think she agrees colespock, glad to be moving again and very cool indeed. Thank you!
great job.well done.
Thanks Oliver, it's great having you along for journey!
Great Video , I love these so much! Cheers
Thanks Mike, I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. It's great to have you with us!
Hi Brent,
Boy, you do some nice work! I have been working on VWs for a long time and when I watch you work it is a joy. Your videos really engage my curiosity and I can't wait to see how this turns out. Very good attention to detail and you are a natural in front of the camera and behind it. Where do you like to buy your parts? I love the letter stamp font you used to spell out Haptic Garage. Same same as an engine serial number. Nice touch! Keep up the great content and I hope you got some rest after your all-nighter. (I remember those!) Cheers! G.
Thanks G. Cooney, that's high praise from an experienced Vdubber! My favorite place to buy parts is a swap meet, mainly for the experience but sometimes because old worn parts could be better than anything available new. Most of the time I'm at the local VW shop or ordering from the same online retailers we all know: Wolfsburg West, CIP1, Aircooled.net, etc. Mostly I'm looking for value; a competitive price is nice but I'll order from anyone who has the good stuff. Good catch on the steel stamps- I've always liked the look of those. I appreciate the great comment and your support!
Fantastic job. I love your attention to detail. It is funny we just made the same wiring harness on my 1600 dp, and it looks almost identical. Just ran the metal fuel lines too in a similar way. My engine ran in my 68 double cab for the first time since 2002, it was sitting with no engine. Restored the brakes, gas tank, suspension, front steering, engine, transmission, electrical, but we still haven't driven it yet because there is an issue with the steering wheel (the double cab was parked because it had a front end collision and the floor was slightly buckled) where the square rubber is hitting the steering shaft cover plate. However once that is resolved it is ready to roll. Great video and editing, really enjoyable!
Wow that's too cool. Not sure if I mentioned it before but... I have a '68 double cab too... sitting since around 2006. Like we're in a parallel universe, except my double cab needs a lot of love to be ready for the road. Congrats on the engine and good luck knocking out the steering issue- that's going to be great!
@@HapticGarage wow, that is bazaar! I hope to see videos of the double cab some day! I will make some too, but I have been too busy trying to get everything mechanically done so I can start working on the body (need to be able to drive it around my property). BTW also added a brake booster from a late bay, just got it all bled, and it is going to make those old drums come to life.
@@SkaterStimm Yeah, kinda crazy! Dweezil is in line ahead of the double cab, but sharing some video of it would be great. Let us know how your project turns out, it would be cool to see some video!
Love your videos... I'm wanting to get into the hobby but I haven't found the right VW bug yet.... I'm on the hunt!!
Hey there. Not sure how I zoned out when I watched E11 about the cooling tin a few months ago. Most likely I was up late and was watching on the garage PC. I hadn't subscribed back then and stumbled upon this E16 video. Great editing and entertaining!! I just subbed but now I'll have to stay up late and binge watch the episodes in order 😉
Hey Stephen! Thanks for the kind remarks and for coming back to check out the latest episode. I hope you've been enjoying the other videos since then- it's great to have you with us!
Great job. 👍
Thanks Vintage 76!
I like your video good job 👍👍

Thanks Herby!
Congratulations!
Thank you! I should cruise over to the coast for one of those launches one of these days.
@@HapticGarage sounds like a plan. A night launch is awesome to see.
That sounds great. I think there's an Atlas V coming up this spring- that sounds neat.
@@HapticGarage if I’m not working when it is scheduled to launch I’d be happy to show ya around. Can’t get ya on base but we can get close enough.
@@vintagespeedvw7864 Yes! That would be awesome! I'll shoot you an email.
Congratulations on that wrap up, man! I am actually looking forward to replace the rubber gas line with tubing just like you did and as it was originally on mi '81 mexi baywindow. You gave me an awesome idea on how to create that pattern, which, as a matter of fact, hadn't think of LOL. I don't think I need the part that goes into the engine, though, as it still keeps the OE tube that runs from the fuel pump to just about the same place above the exhaust pipe as you showed.
I also want to add a shut-off valve to make fuel filter replacements and engine removals a lot less messy. Do you have something in this department that you can recommend?
Congrats again and cheers from Mexico! Keep it up, buddy!
Thanks VochoTalacha, it's great to hear from you again! A shorter metal line than the one I made would be easier to work with during an engine install, so your situation with the '81 bay sounds good. I like to keep the fuel line as simple as possible for safety reasons, so the only shut-off valve I would use would attach directly to the tank outlet and retain the "sock" fuel filter. As you probably know, there were shutoff valves on the earlier Beetles and Busses, so maybe start there to see if the threads and hole size are compatible. If that doesn't work, maybe a "petcock" fuel shutoff valve from a motorcycle would do the job. I've also seen some discussion of an electronic shutoff valve but that isn't so simple anymore. Good luck with the project and let us know how it turns out!
@@HapticGarage thanks for the tip. I agree with you: a hard line made out of metal tube is the way to go for security reasons, as today's rubber fuel lines are really crappy. They get all cracked and unsafe in a matter of a few months. Replacing those little bits is way easier and cheaper than the whole shabang.
I don't think (actually not sure if) my bay had a screw-on type gas tank outlet, as it's got a simple little outlet. Kinda looks like one of the little venting spouts on a beetle tank, but has the correct size for the gas line. Weird thing is, the little spout points towards the passenger side, and as you know, the bend is needed towards the driver's side. I'm really suspicious that this spout was put in place as some kind of repair.
I can't see if this has been welded in place or what, but I am sure someone tinkered with this tank outlet, as the hole in the bus' body is kinda torn. It looks as if they cut a slit on the sheet metal and bent it like a tuna can lid so the spout would be more accesible.
Unfortunately here in Mexico nobody cares enough to share technical data of these old vehicles over the internet, and those who have it, have all those books collecting dust somewhere, and probably those people don't even remember that they have the books in the first place. It'd be great for me to find out whether my version of baywindow used an external fuel filter or not.
@@VochoTalacha Yes yes yes- some of the fuel line available today is scary!
Sorry for the strange terms but... it sounds like your tank has a "nipple" instead of a "bung". If so, that's unfortunate but it may be enough to keep the bus on the road. It also would mean there is no way to use the standard sock-type filter with that tank and that's a real bummer. These tanks are bare mild steel inside- they will always rust unless they are successfully treated with a tank sealer, which doesn't always work out too well. So a filter is needed for the tank, then I feel everything after should be OK.
While I don't recommend it, I've welded tanks before while making repairs. It requires a very cautious crazy person to do this, but it's possible to clean and purge a tank, then weld a "bung" in place. Then only other thing may be a new tank and those aren't cheap. Thoughts?
@@HapticGarage my tank hasn't given me any issues in regards to leakage or anything like it. I guess the previous owners didn't like to put too much gas in it, because I've always filled it to the half, and I think this caused to loosen up this fine brown dust that collected on the filter and somehow found its way to the carburetor a couple of times. Nothing too crazy, but it called my attention. I figure it could be just collected dirt at the bottom.of the tsnk because of the age of the tank itself and given the fact that these baywindows do not have a foldable cover or lid for the gas cap, just the cap itself out in the exterior. I replaced that filter and the new one has collected just a little pinch of said dust.
I don't know if this tank is rusty, and I doubt it, because when I bought the bus, it was not in an abandoned condition. It was a daily driver and still is.
Here in Mexico there are still a few radiator repair shops that will also clean fuel tanks. They submerge them in cleaning and rust removal fluids and the workers will fix leaks and anything wrong with them.
So I have this plan on doing an engine rebuild, as it's got some axial play on the crankshaft and a few oil leaks I couldn't fix. When the engine is out at the machine shop, I will take out the gas tank and have it cleaned at a nearby radiator shop.
That fine brown dust could be surface rust rinsing off or actual dirt from a batch of bad gas. I have the same problem in my RV- I've removed that tank for cleaning but wasn't able to get it all out. I feel your pain!
I have an old radiator shop like that near me- the old guy working there is an expert, great service at a fair price... all the stuff we really miss when it's gone! They call that process "boiling" or "rodding" out the tank here.
I like your plan. That will be a great time to work with the tank. They might have some good ideas about how to solve the shutoff problem too. I really hope this turns out well for you!
Love it when a plan comes together. Speaking of keeping together...that 3M double sided tape, which one is that?
Hey Scott, that's a Hannibal quote... remember the "A-Team"? The 3M tape is called "VHB" for "Very High Bond". Thanks for asking about it- I've added it to the list in case anyone needs it but here's the link: amzn.to/2N2NMJ9 Great to hear from you!
Just turn the roll pin so that the compression slot is toward the area the is rubbing.
Great videos, a little too background noise(some call it music) but no BS (throwing things at the camera and screaming, etc). Love your stuff and I've learned a lot. How about a piece on that engine mount for for the van engine stand with starter.. I looked for it on your history but didn't see anything. If buried in one of the episodes show the link please. Thanks
Thanks Don, I'm glad you enjoy the videos. The engine mount gets a brief mention in episode 3 of the Dweezil series, but probably not the explanation you're looking for. Truth be told, that was made out of scraps laying around (including an old lawnmower blade). if I were to make one now I would replicate the common "Porsche" design engine mount. It uses 4 or 5 ribs and a half circle mounting surface- really beefy without getting in the way. For the starter, I used a cut off section of an old transaxle to mounts in the usual locations. I've found two of those for a few bucks at a swap meet so I've never needed to cut up an old case myself. Thanks for watching!
16:16 a Good welder will fix that for you :)
Yeah.... it'll have to be a weldor with more experience than me to deal with the cast aluminum but you're right. Luckily it worked out and gave me some time to find a replacement. VWs can be forgiving sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations. I know this is 11 months old, but new to me. What is that engine mount that allows for the starter to be mounted?
Thanks again Tom, I'm glad you're able to catch up on the videos. The starter mount is actually that part of a transaxle case, having been cut off for this purpose. I've never cut one myself; they're usually easy to find at a swap meet. I've paid about $10 to $20 for them. It's a handy thing to have around!
I'd like to know how u made the starting with out it being in the bus to test run it
Hey Jason! You need an "engine test stand"- it sounds more formal than it really needs to be. An engine stand will hold the engine place, then to "test" it you'll need to mount a starter and provide electricity and fuel. Use battery cables from the battery to a good ground and the +V post on the solenoid, then a +V wire to the coil and fuel cutoff solenoid (if equipped) preferably through a generic ignition switch. It's a good idea to hook up the generator and voltage regulator too. From there it depends on how fancy you want to be- gauges, panels, wiring looms. Just be safe. I'm probably forgetting something so it might be a good idea to see all of this in action in a previous video: "Engine Build & Test Run" ua-cam.com/video/cw2DkVt8f3o/v-deo.html Good luck and let us know how it goes!
😎😎👍👍...🇻🇪🇻🇪
Thanks Francisco!
IS THAT THE RIGHT SIZE OIL COOLER FOR THE BUS? SEEMS LIKE A COUPLE MORE ROWS WOULD BE BETTER THEN SHIMMING IT WITH TAPE.
Hello GW, it's the stock size for a "doghouse" engine. Perhaps surprisingly, the stock engine would have had an even smaller cooler than this one inside a "non-doghouse" blower housing. Some choose to route oil lines to an aftermarket cooler to increase the cooling but we kept it simple with this build. Thanks for watching!
@@HapticGarage I thought there was a seven row cooler instead of the five row for buses?
Hey GW, I'm not sure. The 7 row cooler may be for late bus and Porsche (Type 4 engines). You made me curious so I looked at a few (Type 1) doghouse coolers I have laying around- all 5 row. Maybe this helps?
@@HapticGarage my bad I think it's for a type 4/2 engine, bolt holes look the same.
Wonder if it would bolt up to the bracket and fit indise the doghouse.
belt looks awfully loose.
Hey Mike, thanks for watching (closely)!
