I think the most undervalued man in existence... is the one that sees value in EVERYTHING. Mustie is a true inspiration. He doesn’t give up and he turns the strangest things into works of art. Wish more people had his perspective and drive... world would be a much cooler place.
I had a year of Auto Mechanics class at Vocational school when I was in high school. I can't remember much except for how to clean the shop and shop tools.
Hi this is Adrian from United Kingdom, may I say I have been watching all your videos from back when you wore at your garage at your home (you are awesome) Thankyou for letting us be part of your hobbies and showing us what you do. Very well explained indeed enjoy them very much thankyou again.
Hi Mustie, just to say thanks . I just had a couple of knee replacements two or three weeks ago. I have been viewing my way through your back catalogue during some long slightly uncomfortable nights. Half watching ,half dozing, your soothing voice and pace of video have been just perfect for passing long nights. The new knees are getting better day-by-day by the way. Thanks and keep them coming!
I can honestly say Sunday morning was a musti videothere's really a highlight of my week because you just never know what he's going to be working on or what you're going to learn and that is the absolute joy of watching his videos thank you musti you made another great Sunday for me
I am getting a 68 double cab on the road and it needs EVERYTHING. Ignition key won't turn, no brakes, wrong front spindles, nasty gas tank, steering is loose, no interior, rat nest wiring, rust, and of course no engine. After sourcing a 1600 dual port, new spindles, drums, wheels, ignition, tank, etc. I think I will have it driving by February. I love seeing how fast you are at all these things, and how you make decisions based on part availability. Thank you so much for these videos, I have learned a ton.
Hello from your next state neighbor! great video, and what a great project! i know nothing about VWs, but i still wish i had the money to buy the car from you! what fun it would be to bring it all back to life, now that you have the hard work done ;) i very much look forward to more videos of this project!
This just makes me smile. I hope Mustie1 reads the comments to see how happy he’s making people. Watching his videos have taught me so much about wrenching in the garage, and de-mystified a lot of processes for fixing up cars and bikes. I’ve got a ‘70 Type3 square back and a ‘86 XT600Z thank I’ve been able to do tons of work on because of Mustie1’s videos and his demonstrations, patience, tool use, and love for the intrinsic value and entertainment that other peoples forgotten fancies can provide. Keep it up Mustie1!!!! From Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺
Fuel leaks from the line to the carb and then just minutes later Prudence the Safety Goat makes an appearance. AvE would be proud of you! Love vids like this Mustie...I learn a lot from each one!
Had a leak like that happen on an old 63 Ford Econoline Van that I was driving back from Washington DC having been transferred from Fort Meyer to a recruiting station in Minnesota. We had just gone through a tunnel on the PA Turnpike when the engine sputtered and stopped. Those old things had the engine between the seats on that model. So I pulled over, it was about midnight and I could see the bright light from under my van. My two kids were asleep in the back on a bed I had built for the trip and I knew I had to get them out and summon help. It was 1977 and there were no cell phones but I had a CB in the rig so I shouted out for help on channel 9 after getting the kids and wife out of the burning van, within seconds, it seemed, I had a state trooper and two highway trucks on the site and they put out the fire with their extinguishers. The van was dead though, I had purchased it from my uncle a year before, it was unique as he had replaced the 6 cylinder engine with a 283 Chevy engine, and he later told me that the particular carb he had put on it did have a problem with a plug coming out and the fuel would pump out over the engine, catching fire. Well my insurance kicked in and within a couple days staying at a cheap motel, I was ready to go once more in a beat up old pickup that I found on a bulletin board at the laundromat where my wonderful wife (RIP) was cleaning our cloths so we could travel on. My uniforms were a mess and would have to visit a dry cleaner when I got to my new duty station though.
It's early Sunday morning most people are in bed still and I just got home from a 14-hour overnight shift at work. I should go to bed, and then I open UA-cam and Mustie1 has posted a new video. Phuck bedtime, Mustie is on!
Hey I've worked on those ampex units before! If you want it rebuilt let me know, I'll do it for parts cost. Probably a belt and some caps. Possibly transistors. You probably have an amplifier hidden somewhere
🦠you right there will . Love it when mustie posts another video . Sitting in my shed turned off from the outside world for a hour watching does help 😃 WHATS BEHIND THE CURTAINS!!!!!!! can’t wait thank you mustie from the garden of England
Thanks Mustie1, enjoyed the show today, always love the enthusiasm and passion you have for your work. Can't wait for the car series you've been hiding! Stay safe.
What a Crazy Car , this Kitcar !!! Mustie ...You are a great Mechanic !! Stay healthy Man,and your Family !! Greets from Bavaria !! Martin from Straubing !!!
Honestly If every video on the channel was on this thing I'd still want more, this thing is wicked cool, lots of bond car/batmobile vibes with the overhead switch panel and the body lines
This is probably my favorite channel. I love how much fun you have exploring these old engines and problem solving there issues. It's a nice way to exercise ones mechical knowledge. I've learned a ton from watching your channel and it's helped me in my own life. Just wanted to say thanks and keep em coming!
Rewind to the first inspection of this kit car. Inspector: “I’m going to have to fail this car because it has no bumpers.” Builder:” wait give me 5 minutes.”
We, or at least I would like to see some more on this car! It's a piece of history even if it's a lower budget kind of car, I find it very interesting. The wiring is kind of a ugly mess, but it's not an impossible task. Really helps to have a second hand, but you can always make a long jumper to ring the wires out one by one, they're color coded so you can at least ball park what they were intended for. At the very least, show it scootin around the yard! Thanks for the videos and keep em coming!
Muttonchops Mustie! I love it! The mystery car coming soon a theater near you! Your home. Ha Ha! The take away from this channel is fun wrenching and great info on all kinds of mechanical things. All valuable stuff! Happy 2021! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
For all of you talking about the rear "sway bar". Its a camber compensator. Designed to keep the swingaxle suspension from a condition during hard cornering called jacking, where the tire tucks under causing loss of traction. If that happens you will probably end up going off the road backwards or upside down or both...
Whoa, Mustie - I have followed you for a long time, from when you were fixing free lawnmowers a few years ago. I just noticed you have passed 500,000 subscribers. Well done!
Had me cracking up stick your finger in and feel for wetness lol this is by far my favorite channel love watching your mechanical capabilities 1st hand
I’m working on a VW based kit car dune buggy sort of thing. The wiring is so bad I’m just starting over. Got a Painless hot rod basic kit. Figure it will save time in the end. May be a little safer too. Really like this project. Very cool.
It’s tough finding something my father and I can both watch together. Until we started watching your channel. Thank you for the content you make. You are the number one mechanic in our book! We have learned so much from you!! Thank you so much!
"Why won't you go" - if I had even a dime for everytime I've said that and struggled for five hours. You go away, grab a coffee and when you come back it slides straight in. We know not why that is.....
Dear Jackbox. 👍👌👏 It's absolutely the same all over the world and maybe even in the universe(s)! Instead of forcing something it's always better to do what you mentioned. I sometimes even let everything rest over night and next morning it just slides in. Best regards, luck and health.
Enjoying my coffee and watching Musti1. You are such a tease with the new project. BTW I called #2 when you were probing the distributor to find the miss. Looks like the Econoline got fender flares, you didn't hide everything. Thanks for taking the fuel pump out, never saww the inside of one before.
The positive thing is that UK has excellent medical research capability that you guys don't need to depend on other people to develop vaccines. Plus the fact that the vaccine from Oxford-AstraZeneca has a very good efficacy, low cost, and easy to deploy. Just need to look at the positive side and keep the hope alive.
Holy cow what a wiring mess that looks like to me. Glad you can figure out all that stuff. Geese what a great job you are doing on that little car. Fantastic video.
I can just imagine , its 1975 , 21 year old dude pulls up to Belmont high in his freshly built kit car picking up his 17 year old girl friend . she gets in the car , he puts on his driving gloves , flicks on all the over head switches like a fighter pilot . The 36 hp engine roars to life. revs it to 6k and does a 5 foot burn out from the parking lot like a boss
I bought an amante gt in 1987ish from an amazing vw mechanic and my boss in central indiana. Crazy car. If I'm correct I think I remember there only being a couple dozen kits imported. Lose those bumpers. Mine didn't have the hood scoop. Fun project you have. Enjoy!
Sweet, keep em coming, great videos. Being from the New England area with a semi-similar background I'm interested in your work. Good camera work, I feel like I'm right there.
Many years ago (over 40) I rebuilt a 914 engine in my apartment. After it was done, I borrowed a friends garage for a weekend and swapped engines. My Porsche 914 was a beast!!! That Steering wheel looks like it came out of a 1966 Mustang...... A lot of small differences between the 914 (VW type 4 engine) and the VW type 3 engine....
Damn Mustie1, you're getting about 500 views per minute!!! I've been hanging around for hours, just waiting... & the vid already has over 2k in views by the time I join in.
I always like how you are able to cobble an engine into a working solution. I don’t always quite agree with your methods but I would never complain about your results.
The original guy must have been on drugs when he decided to put the fuel pump where it was, and he anticipated cell phone texting when he built the overhead switch panel where you have to look up and to the side to find your switch. Looking forward to the "mystery" project, which is probably the Lambo kit car. BTW- you are supposed to set the crank end play with the shims before to install the rear seal.
Oops hit the add button too soon, lol, was just joking in you saying “ no numbers” meaning stolen! Hahaha!. This looks like a fun build. Really looking forward to seeing it finished and running on the road. Enjoying your channel
great way to spend an hour on a Sunday Morning .. Wrenching without getting my hands all greasy .. Nice job on the rebuild .. look forward to future progress and driveway ride..
“It’s the wild colour scheme that freaks me,” said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, “Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done it”
When he started taking apart the pump I thought a good caption would have been "not to be deterred..." But then that's the entire channel so it would have been a little redundant...
I woke up at 2.00 am Monday morning 18th Jan. (Australian Eastern standard time) My first thought; Mustie! Turned on computer........Ahh my weekly fix.
Always a treat to watch. With all of the news media reporting and re-reporting the Jan 6th “storming of the Capital” and ....well, you know! Watching Mustie1 is a great escape from all of the chaos.
Alas the dilemmas that come into our lives. I was looking at al that wiring and have seen and bought a wire tracer. I havent found a use for mine yet as I found and fixed the problem where someone used the hole in the back of the outlet and the little piece holding the wire in failed. I've learned an electric inspection will fail if connected like that. Known to cause fires. I wired it to the side terminal & working fine. It would save a ton of time sorting those wires out. If it works, lol. I bought the PTE wire tester on amazon for $25. $ star with over 1300 reviews. You've got your work cut out for you. But quite sure you'll prevail. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Mustie, looking at that long line of blank switches that go overhead.. I couldn't help but think it would be really fun to make them all dipswitches and when you get in you can go, flip flip flip flip like an airplane or race car!
Noticed when you started the engine outside the car; number one cylinder was throwing a little fire at the exhaust outlet. Apparently it was intermittent, and igniting unburned gases in the header pipe occasionally. These kit cars give a guy an appreciation for the effort that goes into engineering and producing an automobile that's sold to the consumer. Enjoyed following you through this project.
You're a magician. This is my favorite series of yours so far and I'm pumped to see the series you've been working on. This kit car needs some VW badges. lol. Looks like a Ferrari, sounds like a bus. Always look forward to your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee. Thanks so much man. Great videos.
I looove this project! Such a beautiful car without those bars. I really like the roof switch panel too. Giving me whacky ideas for future projects. Love the custom locking pliers. Hope to see more on this in the future!
Excellent video Mustie 1 :) also this car very interesting to see get ready for road and test drive in future videos also first time ever seen these cars ever ! Hope see it more videos to and very soon thank you for your time on too!
@@josepelotudogomezcredulo6993 I understood the assembly part, but was surprised about how rudimentary and lower quality it seems. Would probably stick with the uncovered one cylinder version (regular go cart).
I think the most undervalued man in existence... is the one that sees value in EVERYTHING. Mustie is a true inspiration. He doesn’t give up and he turns the strangest things into works of art. Wish more people had his perspective and drive... world would be a much cooler place.
All it takes is a massive garage with lots and lots of tools hehe
And skill too
Agreed!
Jonathan W has that same drive Mustie does too
They should collab at some point ^w^
@@1marcelfilms And reams of experience, mistakes made and learned from, patience, and oh, imagination.
I'm diggin' the overhead switch panel, feel like a pilot's starting sequence.
yup and make it unnecessarily complex. Like, 1- main power, 2-pannel/interior power, 3- engine power, 4- fuel pump, 5- fans, 6- push to start.
So complex startup sequence that it will not be stolen
I learn more from mustie then I did at auto tech schooling I had to pay 💰for. Love this guy so talented!!!!! 👍
auto tech schooling is good for learning how to upsell unneeded services and do oil changes.....i learned to do an oil change when i was 11
I didn't know jack shit about cars before I started watching this channel, I think I could probably build an engine now haha.
I had a year of Auto Mechanics class at Vocational school when I was in high school. I can't remember much except for how to clean the shop and shop tools.
Find a good indie shop to work for and you'll pick up a lot. Spend some time at a dealership too. Meld the two together then open your own shop.
Hi this is Adrian from United Kingdom, may I say I have been watching all your videos from back when you wore at your garage at your home (you are awesome) Thankyou for letting us be part of your hobbies and showing us what you do. Very well explained indeed enjoy them very much thankyou again.
Dear Mustie1

Well deserved of course!

ABSOLUTELY! Sunday morning. Coffee's on. Mustie1 locked and loaded!!!
I'm an old VW fan. I repaired car audio in those days. I remember both the car and the radio. Nice Sunday morning vid. Thanks.
A little 12v piezo buzzer makes a nice “test light” for times when you can’t see a light.
I'll have to remember that. Good idea!
I have an old car alarm siren that I use as my "audible test light"
I did like Bill M did, but I think I'll make another one with a horn.
i used a warning buzzer out of an older car,not as loud as a horn but compact and can hear it across a shop
My Sunday morning treat! Thanks for sharing. Truly enjoy your videos and humour!

Hope the diablo
My money is also on the diablo kitcar

I agree, walking away and coming back later is one of my strategies when things just won't go into place. It works most of the time.
After a beer or 12 it always goes in, whether it wants to or not!
Enjoying my coffee and watching Musti1.
You are such a tease with the new project.
BTW I called #2 when you were probing the distributor to find the miss.
Looks like the Econoline got fender flares, you didn't hide everything.
Thanks for taking the fuel pump out, never saww the inside of one before.
This channel really makes me second guess everything that I call “junk” and throw away.
Glad to see you back, love watching your content,
Another Lockdown Sunday here in the UK, made alot easier with a Mustie1 engine swap...........
Hang in there, bruh...
Sorry about that. But glad to hear that you still have a good spirit.

Same here ! Good morning to you as well !
Holy cow what a wiring mess that looks like to me. Glad you can figure out all that stuff. Geese what a great job you are doing on that little car. Fantastic video.
finally, I've been up an hour waiting for the sub. Nothing like some Mustie in the morning
the best comment ever
oh it'll run, it's Mustie1
Coffee in hand,
Reminds me of my brother's, dad, and I working on the 65 corvair. Constant wrench turning to keep that machine going!

I binge watched mustie today.hes still the best.thanks you for the great entertainment 👍
"If you can stick a finger in...and feel wetness"

Looking forward to the "mystery" project, which is probably the Lambo kit car. BTW- you are supposed to set the crank end play with the shims before to install the rear seal.
He did say that the viewers had never seen the hidden car yet, so it's not the Lambo kit car.
@@BOYTLeRoyJenkins Must have missed that- it was a long video.
Oops hit the add button too soon, lol, was just joking in you saying “ no numbers” meaning stolen! Hahaha!. This looks like a fun build. Really looking forward to seeing it finished and running on the road. Enjoying your channel
The Rosewood steering wheel is worth more than the whole car.
Great video dude! Might want to move the cord the 110v light before the exhaust melts and shorts out!🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for keeping it real!😉
“It’s now a bugger” snorted on that one.
great way to spend an hour on a Sunday Morning .. Wrenching without getting my hands all greasy .. Nice job on the rebuild .. look forward to future progress and driveway ride..
“It’s the wild colour scheme that freaks me,” said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, “Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done it”
H2G2 references always get a like from me.
I'd definitely need a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster before diving into that mess.

You're like a wizard, you do amazing work rescuing these vehicles.
When he started taking apart the pump I thought a good caption would have been "not to be deterred..."
But then that's the entire channel so it would have been a little redundant...
Congratulations on 500k subs man!
I think it's time for another "state of the union / plans for the channel video".
I woke up at 2.00 am Monday morning 18th Jan. (Australian Eastern standard time) My first thought; Mustie! Turned on computer........Ahh my weekly fix.
Always a treat to watch. With all of the news media reporting and re-reporting the Jan 6th “storming of the Capital” and ....well, you know! Watching Mustie1 is a great escape from all of the chaos.
That laugh every time you get something running 😂
Alas the dilemmas that come into our lives. I was looking at al that wiring and have seen and bought a wire tracer. I havent found a use for mine yet as I found and fixed the problem where someone used the hole in the back of the outlet and the little piece holding the wire in failed. I've learned an electric inspection will fail if connected like that. Known to cause fires. I wired it to the side terminal & working fine. It would save a ton of time sorting those wires out. If it works, lol. I bought the PTE wire tester on amazon for $25. $ star with over 1300 reviews. You've got your work cut out for you. But quite sure you'll prevail. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Mustie, looking at that long line of blank switches that go overhead.. I couldn't help but think it would be really fun to make them all dipswitches and when you get in you can go, flip flip flip flip like an airplane or race car!
Set the switches so it’s a combination to start it lol up up down down B A select start
@@EZ4U2Say11 If you know binary, it would be very easy to remember too. Just enter 132 on the cockpit dipswitches to start.
@@EZ4U2Say11 I like that idea. And if you engage the starter with the switches set "wrong" the car blows up...
Lmao Dan
Noticed when you started the engine outside the car; number one cylinder was throwing a little fire at the exhaust outlet. Apparently it was intermittent, and igniting unburned gases in the header pipe occasionally. These kit cars give a guy an appreciation for the effort that goes into engineering and producing an automobile that's sold to the consumer. Enjoyed following you through this project.
You can convert those rear-facing tubes into a ' James Bond ' type smoke and oil dispenser .
You're a magician. This is my favorite series of yours so far and I'm pumped to see the series you've been working on. This kit car needs some VW badges. lol. Looks like a Ferrari, sounds like a bus. Always look forward to your videos on Sunday morning with my coffee. Thanks so much man. Great videos.
This one deserves a built engine like your buddies bug .
That would be awesome ! Donno the as is power output, but the shape of the car deserves a upgrade. Would be awesome !
I looove this project! Such a beautiful car without those bars. I really like the roof switch panel too. Giving me whacky ideas for future projects. Love the custom locking pliers. Hope to see more on this in the future!
Good morning to everyone out there doing their Sunday morning Mustie & coffee ritual ☕🍩
Excellent video Mustie 1 :) also this car very interesting to see get ready for road and test drive in future videos also first time ever seen these cars ever ! Hope see it more videos to and very soon thank you for your time on too!
So this is what is meant when people say, "it's a kit car"
"Some assembly may be needed..."
@@josepelotudogomezcredulo6993 I understood the assembly part, but was surprised about how rudimentary and lower quality it seems. Would probably stick with the uncovered one cylinder version (regular go cart).
Love the teaser and Congrats on the 500K subscribers.
