THE MASTER OF DISSASSEMBLE is at it again....OH boy will he EVER get it back together.....Well we shall see....
Que precio tiene el carro,una vez terminado
Your doing a great job. Don’t listen to that negative crap. We all enjoy watching you. It’s a lot easier to watch then to do. We all love the show.
Day four ? I’ll tune back in around the year 2030 and see it going to scrap! Dude, finish what you started then move on to the next project, shit! That ghia should have been parked until you were able to do it justice.
However, great channel for us critics out here! I love to see you fuck everything up, great entertainment…….
He's just trying to get clicks and subs, that's why he does several makes of cars. He's making some good $$$ by not finishing anything
To quote FixItNick comment on a WhistlinDiesel video; "It’s insane how triggered people get over entertainment that they get for free and choose to keep watching...." So true!!!
@@bardg5258 I am here to read and laugh with the comments. Pulling a VW apart can be seen on dozens of other channels.
Keep going, CT! I think you will get many, many more views by sticking with this project, as viewers will be interested and excited to see it thru to the end with you. Keep up your momentum!
Thank you!
Great video! Helping me a lot with my beetle rebuild. Looking forward to rest of the series. A small clutch access door and inspection points along the tunnel would be helpful.
Hey Alan, That's awesome man! Thank you! Keep us updated on your build.
it's official , you did it .
torn apart......But will he put it back together. He is going to have to pull out that welder.........Cant avoid it now.
@@Mikefngarage He's got this , great to see your continued ? " support " ?
Love the videos CT! I always look forward to seeing what you’ll be working on. I think people forget about Rusty that you finished up. You also tried to let folks know You really didn’t intend to completely restore the cars. So keep doing what you enjoy. I love the magic of these older rides that are primarily nuts and bolts. It’s nearly a lost art.
Thanks Stew! It's all good man. I'm having fun and learning along the way. Yes, the old cars and trucks are really cool!
Gostaria.de.seguir.voces.na.rede.acompanhar.este.tralho.lindo
that's what I call a full restoration,you have strip it to the bone. Great,glad you decide to keep it. 💪👍
Get it dipped and ecoated ! That’s the best way to derust and seal it
Good idea!
Best idea getting it dipped that way will clear out all the rust and stopped any cathodic reaction. 👍
Probably wouldn't do Rhyno Line, as it's kind of pourus, but the LineX is not, and would protect the underside quite well
Last car I got dipped it seeped out from the joins for months after. Surprised how good this this is.
@@robertjean659 that can sometimes be a problem, but it's a lot better than blasting media all over the place.😂
CT if I may, sand blasting is not the answer to everything. I took my VW pan down to nothing like you power washed it inside and out and even the tunnel. Then I sprayed the hell of the inside of the tunnel with WD40. I then went over the outside with a wire wheel on my drill and sprayed Eastwoods rust encapsulator black and it turned out amazing and has held up to everything. It's easy, time affection and affordable. Wish I could send a pic.
I bet this dude has one of the finest nut and bolt collection on earth - - - - - - - -
C T it took me 4 years to restore my f 100 and I'm retired I did not source out anything of course I did't spend every waking minute working on it. I 'm just saying be patient stay focus and you'll be happy with the results.
Thanks Richard! That is great advice my friend! =)
Nice to see the progress, like Rusty you have a little bit of work to go. Good episode!
I'm learning a lot about how to tear cars apart from this channel.
lets see if he can put it back together
@@Mikefngarage Well if he can, it's probably going to take years considering how long it takes him to tear them apart. I also like the way he doesn't seem to organize or label any of the nuts and bolts.
Greetings from Germany
Hello Michael! =)
Where in Germany?
@@SpockvsMcCoy Cologne in North Rhine Westfalia.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Bottom two front frame bolts sheared off on my bug, you’re a lucky chap!
GREAT JOB CT!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

been waiting for this!
Thank you!
Maravilloso Restauración
That is going to be an awesome restoration once finished
Good that you used time laps. 👍
Hi CT. Just like the swamp dragon, looks ok on the outside but when you look deeper ,there is always something lurking that needs replacing. Looking good and I believe you will complete this one. Looking forward to the rebuild.
I also think its about time you learnt to weld too. :)
He wont finish Swamp Dragon, he never finishes anything...he never finished the VW mini bus, that Porsche, etc, etc
@@rioalexbrasil I know, but I feel he will finish this one. There isnt all that much to this one. It runs and drives. The hardest bit for him is welding the floors in, but he would have to get someone else to do that. From there, its just rebuilding, painting and the brakes.
@@ianallen2 I hope so, in the meantime I will watch other channels here on YT where ppl finish their projects and respect the viewers you know :/
Best wishes from germany, hoffe das du den karmann ghia wieder auf die straße bekommst, werde mir natürlich jedes neue video ansehen
Respect to you for remembering how all this stuff goes back together. Have you considered a large tub of evaporust for pieces that you take off? You could drop these in the tub while continuing to work on other stuff? Good work.
" Using All my Dollies...." CT
Wonder HOW??
🤣
Aconpanhando a restauracao deste carro desde o comeco e vamos juntos
Hi I’m a new subscriber to your videos just wanna say your doing a great job on your videos awesome work can’t wait to see more 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻stay safe and god bless
Thanks Antonio! Welcome! =)
Yeah, I will look like a new once it will finish. Can't wait to see when it will 100% complete.
Que maravilha de filmagem até parece que estamos ai participando do trabalho.
NEVER pull the fuel line out unless its leaking.......You will regret that one. hard to get back in there.
Mike, what are your thoughts on cutting access holes in the tunnel for sand blasting?
@@CTmoog never sand blasted Inside the tunnel. Never seen it done either. They do have some rust issues. but rarely. and usually what happens is the clutch tube breaks off the tunnel. Then I cut an access hole to re weld it. I cut a flap bend it down weld inside then push the flap back up and weld up the cut. Unfortunately you usually dont know it is broken till you try to drive it. Had to do my Rag top after the interior was in. This is typical. no big deal.
@@CTmoog hey you could use your power washer and spray inside the holes. Front access, shifter hole, pedal holes and shift coupler hole and clean out the debris. then let it dry out for a few days then pour heavy rusted metal primer in there tip it around a bit. That should be more than good enough.
@@CTmoog first shove your vacuum hose in there and get everything you can out of there. The heavy rusted metal primer should hold it out for more than 20 years. probably a lifetime. that stuff really works and seals pretty good from future rust. Usually no water ever gets in there unless you dont have the cover on the front, or the car sits in the dirt for several years.
Do your research! Cut access holes and weld the clutch tube in its mounting tabs again. If they’re not broken, weld them again anyway. Should be 3 places. 1 at the front 1 in the middle just past the shifter or e-brake and 1at the rear. If I remember correctly all are accessible from the right side. Weld the access holes up when done. Pressure wash the tunnel if needed and stand the pan up to dry it out for a few days.
Look at Eastwood to find spray wands to shoot a coating inside the tunnel if needed. Again do your research….Clean all the tubes out also and the fuel tube fill up it with
Evapo-rust (tractor supply) to clean any rust inside the tube. Oat the inside of the fuel tube with some lube (wd40) til it’s time to run fuel through it otherwise it’s gonna rust again inside.
OH AND DUCT TAPE THE TUBE ENDS so no sand gets into them when blasting.
My guess is that you will never get this car back together and running again.
Yep, this will never see the road again. Well maybe once he sells it to someone else!
TheWarbow
Just new to this channel. Does the owner not finish projects. I was reading another guys paragraph that it will never see the road again.
@@diycarhome9151 Never. Got 5 projects going. Probably won't finish one.
Not too bright. He's got a VW bus that he was going pretty good on. Floors, brakes, motor, but that build came to a halt.
@@diycarhome9151 He did temporarily put Rusty back together then drove it Screwed the panels on. But we shall see.If he tackles the biggest fear which is welding he just might get this one to go again. will be an interesting watch
Hola excelent work saludos desde chile
Hi CT, Awesome detail on breaking it down👍 just keep going my friend. Cool on getting new pans. It will definitely go together faster than patching them up. Sounds like you will get some use out of that welder
Thanks Tim! Yes, I'll be breaking out the welder soon. Pans should be here in a few days.
When taking tour master cylinder out there are two metal spacers inside the firewall that help stiffen the area so that it doesn’t crush with the master cylinder fasteners. Try to keep them in place; if not they get lost in between the two metal layers. Master cylinder is Ate/Girling. Looks original.
Thanks man! I will look for those. I didn't know that. What are your thoughts on making access holes?
@@CTmoog You can always get new spacers if you lose them; I believe they sell them new. In that area if you make an access hole just make it temporary and patch it back, being that it’s a structural part. By the way when putting back the shift rod make sure you put a new shift rod bushing inside the tunnel; it fits in a little bracket under the shifter area. Now is the best time to do that. Also you can spray that green Eastwood frame coating inside that tunnel before putting it back together. It comes with a nice applicator; Mike Fn and I believe Mustie1 have used it.
Now I realize you asked about the access hole for the pedals; that is a pretty common thing that is done; not the end of the world but I have managed to install all my cables on the pedal cluster without it.
@@vayabroder729 ok cool! That is good info. I think I will make 2 or 3 access holes "squares" so I can get in these with the sand blaster and weld them back. It's pretty nasty in there.
You can see the two spacers in the video falling into the frame. No problem to pull them out with a magnet.
Ok, just wanted to point out, you need to spray on the penetrating oil well “before” you start removing those parts. Let them soak over night +.
Liquid Wrench is so much better penetrating oil. Not WD40. Yes Stew soak over night.
@@rfdave3980 Yep, You're right, I also like Justice Bros JB80 even better.
@@stewkeene Good to know I'll have to give that a try. Thank You Stew
Save the original wing for the clutch nut they are better than the after market ones.
Seria bom assistir alguns videos aqui do Brasil para ver como é a desmontagem e a montagem desse tipo de vários tipos de VW. Mas muito legal seu video. Um carro 1967 com muitas peças originais. Tem que restaurar com cuidado.
DEUS SEJA SEMPRE LOUVADO E GLORIFICADO.....
I was wondering how they got that early split case trans to fit in there. they drilled new holes in the mount. They have a different mount area in the front. We usually put on a bus nose cone to fit a later trans in an early car. but to put an early trans in a late car....Never seen that done.
Exactly what I was thinking. I’m also thinking a lot of people did not catch this at all.
Someone was desperate on a Sunday after noon to get the car back on the road for work on Monday morning.
For a minute thought the sledge hammer was coming out..lmao....waiting for parts n labour 2 year job for ya ..lots of work bud
Great stuff ct best make sure you dont get the ghia ,rusty the Porsche,swamp dragon and the beast parts mixed up or this will be fun.
some of those holes where for fixing the tubing for the throttle cable and clutch cable. if you VW is a known throttle and clutch cable shredder, your tubes might have installed slightly out of tolerance. thats what i was told from an old VW enthusiast.
Hello CT,
have you already got two new floor groups? We want / would like to see that it goes forward with the Karmann Ghia. No offense meant, because in the disassembly you are absolute top class.
Greetings from Germany
We’re you one of those kids that dismantled radios only to realize you had no clue what you were doing ? Unfortunately being slightly OCD and ADHD you’re going to struggle to ever finish anything. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching you tear things apart!
Anothe great video CT! Yes cut access holes and weld in captured nuts around the hole so you can screw a new cover plate over your new access hole! Are you going to blast the entire chassis?
POOR POOR Karmann Ghia
Que nivel maestro
So when do we get to watch the dragon full rebuild?? I have been super excited to see the Ford get rebuilt I like your videos
What ever happened to that project? Might see a big garage sale on youtube one day.
Well, down the rabbit hole you went 😂🤣
Don’t take the fuel hard line out!!
From the other comments I am guessing that it will never see fuel again.
Listen to everything @Mike FN Garage has to say. Sage advice.
Hi CT good idea cut accesses points where you pointed out enjoying your videos. 👍👍
Thanks Alan!
The access holes are not ment to be permanent, they are for gaining access for welding up broken clutch tube tabs in the tunnel. You can't leave gapping holes in tunnel, it's the main structure of the chassis
@@patrickbrown3135 You make cover panels I've re built a few VW in the past.
Mmm, Mr. CT... I was right, there is some progress here... =) I was thinking, before you cut holes and stuff, how is access from below? Any openings to access? If not, I'm pretty sure the whole tunnel will open when you remove the floor plates. It appears, the tunnel view of the rodent home looks an entire structure with floors welded on, so if removed should not be a problem.. I hope I'm right, hope it helps.. Things are going nicely apart... Keep going.

What lights are you using? Those are really slick. I was wondering, since the packing you pulled out of the front of the tunnel did not smell strongly of mouse urine, is it possible it was sound deadening packing from the factory? It looked similar to the horsehair used in seat cushions of the time.
Those are from harbor freight. They work great and they are rechargeable.
Good work on the strip down. I would be careful about cutting access holes in the tunnel. The tunnel is the structural backbone of the chassis. If you need to gain access for the restoration, weld the holes back up. Access for maintenance should not be needed.
No holes in a (better: the only) main structure element. Never ever! Otherwise the car will drive slalom permanently. If it will come so far...
🖤
Is it possible to put the brake lines through the tunnel?
Cant see them get rusty and leaking if inside tunnell
@@pablopicaro7649 It should be dry in the tunnel
Taking apart shit is easy.... for just once, can we put it back together???
I'm sitting here screaming " put the wheel behind the back tire" stop it from rolling !
CT with a little bit of research n coaching you can do it ...VW Darren is your main man ...if you have full time job weekends aint gona cut it ...you will need help ...
Thanks Robert!
You would have benefitted from attaching a string to the cable before removing it from the tunnel.
Wonder what the folks who built it originally would think.
While removing the handbrake, my ratchet bracket fell into the hole of the handbrake inside the chassis. How can i retrieve it?
use a magnet or a claw screwdriver
Where is your vid about the Moving Van??? You Promised!!!
No entiendo cómo puedes mantener el tono de voz.....yo le estaba gritando a la tv...."YA SAL....MALDITA TRANSMISION DEL DIABLO!!!!" 😅
Amigo, look a vídeo from Brasil "Angeli Cars" Pintura e Fechamento do Túnel...
👍👍👍
Looks like there’s literally no chance of finishing this one. Hope you prove me wrong. Would be epic.
I hope I do as well! Stay tuned! =)
Man i thought you were just gonna get this one drivable. Now youre talking about full resto so i guess well never see this one done either. I still like watching you work on these vehicles but it sure would be nice to at least see one get finished.
Hey Joshua, in order for this car to be a SAFE DRIVER all of this stuff has to be restored. Look close and you will see everything on the chassis is rusted, seized and worn out. I really appreciate you watching. I'm going to do everything in my power to complete this one. Thanks for the motivation! =)
Well Joshua There are lots of different versions of "safe drivers" I think Ct is going a little overkill but also think he can do it. Yea that is a total pan restoration he is talking about now. Sometimes it is hard to determine where to draw the line.
Too many excuses love to tear down shit and never put it back together
Value of the car drops every video because we all know you’re not going to finish it
Yet for some reason we keep watching, maybe in the hope that he WILL finish something
🤣🤣
Let the ROAST begin! =)
Sadly another good car going to heaven after this dismantling 😫
Water Displacer and Rust Preventer = WD40. WD40 is NOT a Rust Penetrant. Hence, WD. You need PB Blaster and you should consider tossing the vise grips in the trash.
Yeah, but can you remember how to put everything back together lol?
Are you tearing down the 72 bus next, or the Fiat?
Run down to Harbor Fright and pick up a few more dollies.
CRER NO SENHOR JESUS CRISTO SERÁS SALVO TU E TUA CASA
We’re is the dragon
Just tear it apart. Buy a brand new harbor freight blue tarp and cover it. There’s no need to bother putting it back together. Screw it!
🤣 you must have watched him before??
Forgive me for saying this but you should never use any thin but a hammer to bang with.
persistence
With all the vehicles he’s “restoring“ at one time don’t be surprised if you don’t have Volkswagen parts assembled with Ford truck parts and Vice versa. That is if he even “restores” either one.
This may be a Silly Question 🤣
I thought this was a quick...Get er Going and sell plan??
😂🤣😉
Never Mind..
One has to wonder how many restorations all the armchair critics have completed? Keep on hav'in fun CT.
Hi there !
Hello! =)
Use KBS system to clean and seal the last access panel. The is a good cleaner, a primer, and a paint that sticks to rusted areas. We used on our VW bus and 10 years later it is still there
Stick your hand in a Rat nest???
😱
Meccanici migliori ne ho visti tanti . Peggiori non saprei . Povera Karmann , speriamo finisca in altre mani 🙄😢😢
how many classic cars do you destroy per year? really sorry that so many idiots ruin so much
I would comment why using sheetmetal snips like that ( cutting brake lines ) is Bad for your snips....But WHY?? Bother....
I'll just get a bunch of comments saying i'm Wrong!! 🤣
No access holes please. will definitely weaken the structure
My take with CT is that he makes long boring videos so he can get paid from UA-cam.
I will pay a $100 reward if you complete this project and get it on the road and running (street legal). Deal?
DEAL! =)
Screw those haters. Go for it CT!
You can do it CT !
@@davidjudice2886 Thanks David!
@@snowdogs59 Thanks man!
Ignore the assholes here. Just keep going. Cutting access holes into the tunnel is fine, just weld the pieces back in after you reinforce the cable tubes. And don’t try to rebuild that transaxle. It’s from a 50’s VW, with a non synchro first gear, low gearing, and not really worth it for a 67.
