I’m 35 years old and since I was a kid I saw my dad working on a VW bus or a beetle. This brings me some memories thanks!!
You should have pulled the plugs and put oil in the cylinders before trying to turn it over. All the sludge in the engine has settled to the bottom so after you get it started you should change the oil right away. Congratulations! What a great milestone.
Thanks George! you are right..I forgot to do that...I will be changing the oil soon! Thank you sir!

I thought that i was the only person in the world with the idea of rescue cars in this conditions, Is really fun, and is an art. You must continúe with more!
Don't care what anybody says 40 years sitting and you get it started and idle for no money I think that's outstanding good job. Hat off to CT Garage.
You are doing an awesome job! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. My husband was just watching this & I’m glad I walked into the room to see what you were doing. I’m all about VW’s & when I see one being brought back to life, it makes me happy.
Thanks Michele! I really appreciate that! =)That is so cool! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more! Please subscribe if you haven't already!!!
That sounds way better than it looks!
It does
Wow! Congratulations you got her running, back to life. Yea!!!
Thank you!
People who made this vehicle are probably no more. But their creation is still alive. Great job dude in bringing back life to their creation. 👍👍👍
My Dad had one of these in 1972 when I was 9. We went all over England. It was great. I do remember that the headlights were rubbish. Dad said the were like 'tab ends' - smouldering cigarette ends. Happy days!
VW engines are the best. So reliable and just keep on going. Can't wait to see this finished.
Thanks Steve! Stay tuned for more! =) Did you subscribe?
Nice, I never get sick of watching first startups or any startups seen a lot and most of them run take care
Como nunca no puede ansederñ
I remember as a kid helping my dad remove, rebuild, and install what looks like that very same engine in a BUG. Even as a kid I could see it was a simple engine that was easy to work on. Very cool watching you bring it back to life, I was a little worried about the fuel system but just was the best case scenario anyone could wish or ask for. Very Cool enjoyed watching this video.
That's a great memory! Yes, they are from a more simple time! I love working on them. I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
I did a complete rebuild of a '62 VW bus field find back in the 90's. Loved that bus :)

I am in the third part of the series, and after a hard work day and as an volkswagen lover that I am this is refreshing!!! keep it up Friend!!!
Wow that's cool CT, love that you made it start, amazing😍
Damn, it’s running pretty smooth. I love tinkering with those old VW motors. Looks like you’ve got yourself a be van. Carry on my way word son.
living the life some people will never understand but I do...nice work bro

Thanks man! I love these old VWs! I want to get more! Stay tuned for more! Please subscribe!
Good job, is so cool to watching it, right now i'm restoring some old similar Volkswagen type 2 here in Brazil, is a challenge to proof it.
Keep going man!
Hi Vitor! That is so cool! Good luck with your project and thank you so much!!! Stay tuned for more! Please subcribe!
What a neat old VW!! Love that patina!!!
Thank you!
Wow made my day. Your enthusiasm to see it working reminded me of when I first started my truck's engine
Thanks man! That's awesome! What truck do you have? Stay tuned for more! Did you subscribe?
Yeah! I have a ‘49 international kb 3 truck.
I’d love to chat and share ideas about these. I also own a ‘75 Vw bug.
It looks like it was just blasted in a very quick salt storm, lol... but nothing got inside of anything! Thats amazing!

Brings back memories. I was a VW mechanic at a shop in the early 80s. A lot of this stuff I had forgotten. I loved working on these, but the handwriting was on the wall. There were fewer and fewer of the old type 1s and 2s as time went by. And they were all I really wanted to work on; the Dashers and Rabbits were no fun at all. So I moved on. As I remember, these engines were replaced by a pancake that was awful to work on. The type 3 square backs were fun too.
Hey Pat! That is really cool that use to work on these! The good thing is they made so many and people still love them! Thank you!!! Did you subscribe? Stay tuned!!! CT =)
The speed ramps in this vid are awesome! All have motivation and relevance.
Wow, congratulations. Sounds great!!
Thanks Collin! I know right!
Brilliant work, that engine fired up pretty quick, great VW resurrect. Run the red return wire direct to your starter casing instead of via the body work. 6 Volts systems need good clean and short accu connections. We ran our 68 VW Beetle on 2/3 gas and 1/3 diesel mix.
Thanks man! You have some really cool videos on your channel! I will! Interesting gas mixture! Why did you add the diesel?
@@CTmoog because he can't find any more Zyclon B ?
Great job ! 👍🏻
I had this same type of Vdub panel van but mine was a 61 and it had a 6 volt system originally, so I changed it all over to a 12 volt one. Turned her into a hippie wagon. Got her for free and sold her for 600$ back in '79 with what was likely over 300k miles and still running strong. Loved her dearly but had 3 cars and was beginning a family so I had to make a choice. Wish I had a pic though. Good luck in your restoration; these babies are practically indestructible!
Dude, I just about teared up when it turned over the first time and ran. I know how that feels. I've never resurrected an old engine like this, but the very first engine I put together by myself - with no internet or UA-cam to help me - was a nerve wracking experience because I didn't want to blow it up or cause any $$$ expensive damage...and when it started the very first time I turned the key I was doing cartwheels in the driveway.
Wow man! That's awesome! It is a ton of fun! Nothing like it!!!
And I suspect that sucssful day you didn't get such a good sleep at night thinking how to bring the engine to its good old days. That's what we call it practice makes perfect.
Cold start
@@anthonybarnes9089 Definitely. In fact it was the very first time that particular engine had ever been started because my dad, who just passed away on Friday, helped me put it together. It's a memory that I will always cherish. The engine, by the way, was a 1980 Toyota 3TC 1.8L with lots of racing parts on it. Because I was not making that much money at the time it took me 4 or 5 years to put it together, buying an expensive part here and then another one there 6 months down the road. But, it was worth it in the end.
Been waiting for this video! Hopefully she can be driven reliably!
Thank you! She will be soon! Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Old Volkswagens never die , they even get m o r e love than before ! I owned a 1966 Beetle as a first car. Good work !
Holy shot! He got that thing running.
Awesome!!! Happy for you!!! Great, great job with the video/lighting!!!
Hey Russell! Thanks for noticing! It does take some time and effort to get the right shot sometimes! THANK YOU!!!
Wow man! Look at you taking off! I haven't been over here in a week and I've really been missing out!
You did an amazing job man !
When the wrench turned, there was a huge "Hooray" in our office as we watched your video.
WOW! Thank you! =) I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope you all subscribed to the channel and see the updates on Rusty restoration! =)
Dang! Now that is RUSTY!!!
Look at the patina on that! lol
It's great you got it up and running...
Thumbs up! 👍🏼
Thanks man! Yes it is pretty crusty! It sounds good right? Thank you! Stay tuned for more!
@@CTmoog Yes it sounds very good especially for not running so long... How's the body on the bus?
It has some areas that will need to be fix but it can all be saved. They make all the sheet metal panels for the entire body! It should be a fun project for the next few years!
@@CTmoog Thats great! Watch Mustie1's channel for guidance... He knows his VW's inside and out.
I look forward to seeing the restoration go forward...
but how cooll is that there was no rust in the gas tank he got a double win !!
Back in 1974-75, I bought a 1964 VW Bus! God I loved that thing!!!
Within a year, though, I bought a 1965 VW Bus.
Reason being, I wanted a 12-volt system. The '64 and '65 Buses were 6-volt systems (standard for the time on the VW Bus). But I found out it was not possible (or feasible) to convert my '64 VW Bus to 12-volt, due to the '64 flywheel would not accept the newer 12-volt starters.
Then I discovered that the next year's Bus, the 1965 VW Bus's **flywheel would accept the 12-volt starter! Hence, my joy to find a 1965 VW Bus in great shape, which I could convert over to 12-volt.
The reason I wanted an older bus, was because I liked the look of them rather than that of the 'newer' buses back then (in the '70's). I liked and wanted the split two-pane windshield, the 'worm-face' look of the front as opposed to the redesigned 'modern' look of the newer buses and the hinged pop out 'port-hole' like windows as opposed to the longer rectangular slide windows. BUT I also wanted a 12-volt system. Happily, I was able to realize my wish in the '65 VW Bus model!
[** I said that he '65 bus flywheel allowed for 12-volt starters, whereas the '64 flywheel did not. Or was it that I could replace the '65 flywheel with a later model flywheel - I couldn't quite recall while writing this earlier. But I'm pretty sure now that the former was the case...I think. :-) I also bought a '73 Super-beetle engine to replace the original less powerful '65' engine, which I did; and converted to the 12-volt system (lights; radio; coil; etc).]
It would be impossible to recollect how many times I had pulled and reinstalled engines out of the two buses I owned! I got very fast doing so. I would even lay the engine on my stomach after loosing the 4 bolts that held them in place against the flywheel, lowered the engine onto my stomach and scooted out from under the Bus with it on me! Boy, that was another lifetime ago! Young, strong and daring.
I 'souped up' my '65 Bus with larger pistons and jugs, better coil and I think it was a 'Webb" carburetor.
When my battery might be low or die; or when my starter failed to crank - no worries! I'd turn the key on, shift the gear stick (the transmission) into neutral, jump out of the cab, push the bus by hand down the street, get it going about 5 or so miles per hour, jump back in, push in the clutch, shift into 1st gear, 'pop' the clutch, and gingerly give a bit of gas...she'd quickly sputter to life, and away we'd go!
I could park that thing anywhere? It's turning radius was unreal, with no front nose (engine compartment and 'hood') sticking out, it was so, so easy to parallel park in a spot where others dared not attempt to.
The utilitarian feel of the Bus was awesome to me. Mine was a 'walk through' model from the front to the back. I worked in the trades (electrician; carpenter, handyman), so it was handy in that regard to carry tools and material either inside or on the roof racks. I loved the windows, how they popped out from the bottom and the air vents up front near where your knees would be. No AC. But I really don't remember feeling the heat back them ( I lived in Miami, Fla; so it differently was hot.
Though it was not a very fast vehicle topping out around 65 or 75-mph if I recall correctly, it was strong enough to haul my small sailboat around, launch and pull it out of the water once trailer-ed.
It was a cute, 'cool' little van in my opinion.
If I had the money, and could find one, I'd get the very same year as before in a heart-beat!
VW is said to be going to introduce their NEW modern version of the VW Bus into the market in the next year or so...it is ALL ELECTRIC! I would love to try that out as well. It is not the same - BUT it does retain some of the look and design of the old Buses...just better all the way around - save it DOES have a nose (safety issues save the legs I guess).
Thanks for the video CT. I'll be watching the other follow up videos I see that you have made as well.
The most durable engine in the world. After 4o years and it starts. We love the type 2 kombis here in South africa
One thing that I really liked was that you didn't spoil even a single nut or bolt. You properly applied the suitable tools required. You loosened the screws and then applied torque with a screwdriver. No destruction or abuse done by slippage of tools.
Muchas gracias por el tesón y suspenso en tu pasatiempo, fabuloso revivir una pieza de colección.

It's good to see these old V.W.'s come alive again
Yes it is! I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Hi CT, Saw this old one pop up that I haven't watched before. So funny watching that belt flop around. Your channel is very entertaining for sure. I'm sure you have been told this before. People who want to have fun like you on these projects relate to your videos. Just keep being yourself and diving in with both feet buddy
Hey Tim! Thanks for the kind words my friend! Yes, I hit it out of the park on this one. I really was just having fun and got a bit lucky too! Thank you!
My dad used to have a lowlight kombi camper. I miss that thing. Memories . Definitely enjoyed watch u tinker with this one, that old distributor cap brings back memories of breaking down in hinchinbrook ingham
Hello Jeremy! That's a great memory! Thanks for sharing! I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)

This video is a good inspiration for a 1/25 rust bucket model.
Complimenti per la pazienza , e l' entusiasmo che metti nel fare il lavoro!!!
Just shows how good and simple a design that engine was, bombproof!! You'd have no chance starting a modern card after 40 years, what with a million miles of wires and connectors, and enough electronics to get you to mars and back ;-)

Well done i like that!
Reason number 99 I don't make youtube videos, I would not deal well with negative comments about things I do for your entertainment so I would have 0 subs...
Reason number 100, me starting anything old (after being a mechanic for 40 years) check the oil, yep it has oil in it, check the water, yep it has water in it, ( and yes I know VWs like this are AIR cooled, see reason #99) drop a battery in it and turn the key, nope it doesn't spin over, then look further into it, yep it spins over then check the gas and the spark, does it have spark YES/NO, does it start? good. Video done 31 seconds...
I am glad you love these old girls and restore them, looks like you know your stuff and have a good time doing this, and you have a great channel....... leaving the Youtubing up to you, live life, grab it and run with it, everyday is a gift for you to enjoy! Peace out brother!

It never surprises me when those old air cooled VW engines fire up, however long they have been standing.i've had 14 beetles of various states of disrepair and have never had one not fire up with the minimum of preparation.
this is awesome. I just bought a 78 type 2 transporter. it's my first car. I am 17 and know very little about automotive. I have always loved Type 2s though, and I can't think of a better car to learn on.

I always pull the plugs and squirrt ATF and oil into them before cranking on the crank.....it's amazing how all those fasteners come apart given all that rust...
Hey Dan! Yes, I should have sone that. I got ahead of myself...Hopefully the jugs had some oil in them. I was using a oil/gas mix so that may have helped. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
An air cool engine will turn over no matter how many decades since last run, provided it ran b4 being parked, they not prone to condensation that leads to rust as in water cooled engines...thanks 4 reading .

wow ! VW seems to make really GOOD motors ! i remember 2-3 years ago i read a old old old OLD guiness book of world records and the vehicle with the MOST milage in the world was a VW bug ! so if that bug had a great motor im sure this van did too !
Nice it starts, always a good thing
