Don’t know for sure, but I think one of those bongs might have made its way into CT’s vehicle.
Dude, please finish at least one project yeah? 😉😬😊
Like the rusty VW van?
That’s the plan! 😎😎😎
@@bmh67wa Rusty’s being completely restored as we speak. 😁
This is a parts car.
And the Dragon! Lol
Man CT, most restorers wouldn’t walk across the street for cars you see value in. Your patience, experience and skills are most impressive. Another great video about the real world of CT Restorations
I appreciate that man!😎
29:55 it's a VW type 3 fastback.
Here in Brazil similar models were produced, called VW 1600 TL and VW 1600 Variant
They were common even here in sweden but are all rusted out unfortunately ! The on you bought ct is a very late model 72-74 something !
So glad your continuing on with this series!
I would say the bug is 73 or later judging by the half moon vents and the elephant foot rear lights.
As stated, the rear window size changed multiple times, the largest being 72 onwards IIRC.
You can check by measuring the height (later windows are about 1 inch taller).
That rusty hole is an ominous sign as it's caused by the "foam of death", so I would cut the whole window area out first to evaluate the inside.
One option is to transplant the whole window section including the lower vents as one piece.
There you go CT. Gettin’ er done. I panicked when I saw the description. I thought you were buying another project. I couldn’t wait to see the comments section but you proved them wrong. It was a level headed move although not sure if that year will fit your bug if not I guess you got another car you can add to the collection. You should make an episode where you go over all the cars you have collected since you bought Rusty and tell us the plans for each one. Like an inventory roll call😂
CT, I was going through all my vw parts that I still have left in the barn and I have stacks of glass. I believe I have side windows and the little A windows and stuff. I even have an air conditioner for a bug that I was going to mount into a Karmann Ghia that I restored. My ex girlfriend totaled it though.. If there is a way we can stay in touch we can figure out what you need. I have not done anything with my 914 yet. It is on my dad's trailer and he really wants his trailer back. I still want to restore it but I have a few projects in the queue already.I am starting to build a manual ,filling machine to fit the space I have left in the barn tomorrow and then convert it to cnc. Le the know ho9w we can get in touch and I can hook you up with the glass you need at least. I am coming back down to Florida soon to live so maybe we could figure out something. Either way I have a lot of parts you will need I believe. I have not gone through it all yet. I had an entire barn full of parts but my dad scrapped them about 15 years ago. I could cry now. I'll talk to you soon.
Hey John, what state are you in?
Yes another CT video !! Love this bug build series man
Thanks Justin! I appreciate that man! =)
@@CTmoog no problem
Hi, thanks for the video. I agreethe rear window area looks tricky. Maybe cut more than you need from the donor then repair the donor part while you have good access to its underside. Good luck. 👍
I feel better about some of my purchases after watching this, thank you
You get better equipped every day! You brought all the right stuff for this job (Unlike myself in my early wrenching days! I, however would have shied away from such a complex restoration...
Hey Neil! How’s it going buddy? Thanks man!
Unlike some folks, I love the variety
Thanks Thomas! I think most of us like to shake things up a bit! =)
I really enjoyed that …can’t wait for the next one
Thank you!
good morning here good night there beautiful work congratulations every day you are looking for a rarity to make the transformation it is new congratulations may God bless you we are together here in Brazil 🇧🇷👍👍
Looks like those corners are slightly different but I think you can make it work. just put the rubber on the glass and fit them once you spot weld them maybe take the window and put it in the newer body and check the corners before you remove them to make sure it will work. The top edge just rrim it back a little then weld in a small piece of flat metal. it will work will be hard to grind in the corner but you can do it.
Excellent video CT :) also glad found parts model in your area on VW car and one got lots needed for one working on!
I think i found the best Job ! Forklift operator ! Thanks Ct Live Life ! Straight Ahead ✌😎
Nice little break to go out and salvage some parts for the project. It was a little hard to hear what you were talking about at times. Just saying and I know you have enough on you plate right now, but that would look good being towed home on the back dragon with you logo on the door. I meant in a fun way. You need to collect some of your buddies logo to hang around the shop, as a part of you car community. This is a win for you! You might find a kid that like to film things to tote your camera and help at times.
Hey Richard, I would like to get some clip on mics for everyone and have someone hold the camera sometimes like we did in The Swamp Dragon video. Yes, I really would like to have a shop truck with a logo on it. That would be awesome! I might have to go back there and get some more parts soon. I really like getting out in the field. It was a good time.
The Bong Mobile takes its last ride...great 👍 video 😊
Ct that piece is for your front or rear bumper. The thing you said you didn't know what it was but you probably figured it out.
Thanks John!
@@CTmoog You are welcome. I am going out to see what I still have so I will message you a little later.
Are you sure that 70’s beetle’s rear window-even if pieces-will fit/work?
Hey Jeff, I hope it does! =) We will fin out next week if all goes well.
It's not so bad. You have the technology and talent to restore her.
Hell yea man!! Keep your head up this video was sick!!
😎😎😎
Lol love your vids brother, keep on keeping on
Thanks Dave!
Evening CT. Just watched the rear window video before you hit this parts VW 😊 Really interesting watching you get it ready for the highway 🤣 it makes some sort of sense as it would be really difficult making those corners unless you was Mike F n garage lol 😆 Keep it going buddy 👍🏻🇬🇬
CT. You Crack me up. You've become quite the expert in rusty hub removal😂 that looks like at least a 73, but I'm no expert. I'm going by the tail light holes.
Nice to watch that lovely beetle!
btw the car lifter may be drunk! lol
Nice piece of kit
Hi CT, when you said you found a replacement rear window section I thought that was it not the whole car 😊 that will work but your plan for cutting and putting it in was giving me a headache. Haha just cut out the whole thing and put it in. The rust area on the new one just cut that section from your old one and weld that in before you install the new section. Done👍
Hello mate. It's so great to see you cracking on with the '65. I'm sure you know by now this bug is a '73 or thereabouts. As such it has a bigger back window than your '65, and you might find it won't fit, in the same way that the one from Mike Fn didn't.
Also, I just fitted discs to the front of my '62, so I know that they add around an inch to each side of the track. To avoid the front wheels sticking out an inch at each side I had to get a 2 inch narrowed front beam. I used the kit from CB Performance but I'm pretty sure they all make the wheels stick out to some degree. You've worked so hard on the stock brakes and beam, I'd be tempted to stay stock, if it were me. Can you really bare to take off that beam you worked so hard on, and not even use it?
Whatever you do - Good luck man, keep at it. We're getting there!
Like mentioned by others this is a '73 + bug and the rear window is different. I did however see only one 60's bug at the car grave yard which may have worked. It was the one without the rear air vent BTW. Keep up the good work though. Love your determination and persistence.
SALUDOS !
So what you're telling me is I got the wrong one.....? dang it... =)
@CT Unfortunately yes as a whole replacement cut. However you may be able to do small cut patch peices from it but that's not really what you need. a whole replacement is what you are chasing.
Over here in South America they do brand new replacement oval and Split window cuts from 1mm cold rolled steel. Could be an option if nothing else pops up as replacement. Not sure how to attach photos as I would like to show you what I mean.
Hope that bug is a 71 and not a 72, window changed size in 72 model year. 65-71 and your good to go
If the rear fenders are OG that car is a 1973.
Mais um clássico lindo para restaurar, parabéns, amo o seu trabalho,e gostaria muito de trabalhar com vc.
CT!!! You are suppose to sell scrapmetal not buy it!
Hi CT, I was wondering about the piece Mike sent out to you for the back window. That's not going to work? What about the donor door? Are these doors any better?
Great find CT! Interesting to see what you can do with it. I know you said for parts! And it definitely have some good parts leftover! Another thing I would be wearing gloves if I where you, taking all that contaminated crap off of it!😂 yikes 😳 you’ll never know! Great video!😎👍I believe you can make another bug out of that chassis! Just saying!
Nothing like good help CT
👍😎👍
It looks like a 73, based on the seats.
Thanks Eric, you might be correct. I'll check the # on the chassis this week.
Dad had rented the very sane trailer when we went to Martin TN to get the 72 SB..someone had cut one of the tow straps. Funny thing about the 72 bugs is that the metal wa thinner is areas and that VW had injected expansion foam in the inner voids where the back windows were
nice new encyclopedia
Nice 🎉I got my 1972 Karmann Ghia Convertible from that lot 😂
Interested?👍🤝
how bad is it? =)
It runs no brakes top convert vinyl is gone floors driver side gone passenger is bad but is there lots of rust
Seats are in ok shape if you're like pictures i got a bunch and videos
🖤 love this
Looks like a good parts car for my Fastback & sqaureback!!
The rear fender on that car is a ‘73-on. Not sure if that rear window will work with the ‘65; I remember ‘65-‘72 was the same main body style and parts were interchangeable.
In that trunk there’s a couple of nice things like alternator stand, intake manifold, valve covers etc. Those parts you were asking about are bumper brackets.
That chassis is IRS; those are sought after by the Porsche 356 replica manufacturers; you could sell it to one of them.
Ct the Volkswagen Rescue 😂and another Patient 😂😂👍
Saludos de Mexico CT
Thanks Ricardo!
CT, that's a 73, I think the back window is going to be bigger than your 65 back window 41:37 is a bumper bracket.
Thanks John!
hey you needed a drivers side door is that in decent shape?
That bug does look like late 60s or early 70s,the nest judge is the lug nut or lug bolts.my 72 bus had lug nuts,so somtime during those years the changeover was made
CT=Brad Pitt…….the cars are just props!
😂👍😎
You should skin that roof and those doors for that original patch panel metal. The price of sheet metal is insane.
Yeah it makes sense to buy an old car the metal is better it’s original and it’s a lot cheaper
@@CTmoog ya, it's the right thickness and is malleable for shaping pieces from scratch. Pieces of an 85 vanagon roof have made there way onto my 69 Ghia 😁
Looks like the bug was a mid70s but had older fenders put on maybe a standerd but that back window vent really thrown me as that was only seen in a superbeetle shell as far as i know
Eu comprei um jeep willys 1957 pra reforma
Hi CT ! What type of Levi`s did you wear in this vodeo? 501? 505 ? or any other number ? I like the cutting. it look cool !
Hey Saint, thank you! 511 slim fit jeans, Dark Hollow - Stretch
Surely it would have been easier to just turn up wirh a reciprocating saw and grinder and cut out the section you want?
Oh yeah, this one has indeed seen better days. But as the number of Beetles is dwindling, the remainder will rise in price like a bunch of Intel shares😋!
Curious.... have you ever finished a project?
i don't think so !
You tossed away the Bumper Iron, it wouldnt fit yours though , all those widows will be too big for your Old Girl
I held onto them but probably won't need them like you said.
yeeeah! Scavenge parts!!
=)
Post 73 bug like peeps said. Rear Window size different than yours CT ,doors different as well if cheap good to move on spares .
Looking at the holes in the rear fender and the deck lid with the vents, I would say that the car is a 72 or 73.
The part that you did not know what it is, is a bumper bracket.
Thanks Jon! Good to know. =)
I noticed 1 of those bongs got left in the car ?? Lol !
HAHA! =) Yes.....
44:30: I reckon in Germany this type was called the 1600 "Variant." It had some issues due to the low position of the engine, such as overheating and poor access.
Dear Jürgen.
No, this fastback was the 1600 TL, Volkswagen wanted to have this as "Touren Limousine". But it was not a great success... The Variant was the station wagon.. greetings from Germany!
@@peteralt9490 Thanks - but both types (the TL and the station wagen) are based on the 1600, aren't they? The Variant sold pretty well through the 1960s - 1970s as it was popular for maintenance and service work, until it was slowly replaced by the Bulli.
For the rear window you need 1965-71 vw
I've seen worse Bugs, though not many. This one is worse than my rust-bucket '70 Sunroof!
Lotta good parts though. Like that semi-late-model bumper-bracket that you didn't recognize!
I think everything besides the bongs and the paper stuff were VW parts. Hopefully some decent stuff!
Olá! Este aí vai dar muito trabalho a menos que seja usado como doador. Por coincidência eu também comprei uma carroceria parecida para servir de doador, até a cor era a mesma. Aquela Variant que estava no pátio me pareceu interessante, se for modelo II a suspensão traseira é IRS independente. Me sinto uma criança quando vou a um pátio como este.
the year is on the edge of the drivers side door, there is a tag
Heck ya
Thanks ! =)
Is that a giant wasp nest in the front trunk?
You must remove the entire grill, I think it would look better and it is possible to paint the inside of the grill.
👍👍😘😘
Rustwagen 😍
And long live America ❤
You didn't know those were bumper brackets and the car is a 1973 or newer?
you can save it //save them all you find ,
How much do you want to pay me to take those good used brakes?
Mega load of bongs
Yes! HAHA! =)
Not One-Eyed Willy. But, "FarfegBongen".
👍🙋♂️
For real.
1973 sedan 111
🤗👍👏🌞
=)
The only usable parts I saw, were on that forklift…
HAHA! =)
Your parts beetle looks to be a 1973 standard beetle. Judging from the one year only fenders.
60s car full of bongs how accurate
HAHA! =)
It'll buff out.
you did not pack the wheel bearings
What happened to the AIR KEWLED sponsor? Did he dump you?
I don’t think so; I believe he was going to help finish the suspension on the Ghia but it had to be transported to the West coast.
Swapped with Levis :p
ct you know they sell a kit to swap a chevy 350 in the vw dont you and if was me that i would do and then you got a sleeper hotrod
What's the jap looking car the back of the beetle ?in beige
Wait that's a vw too
I’ve never seen anyone that works on VWs not know what a bumper bracket is. Lol Do some reading and educate yourself on these cars.
you make me smile !
I followed you in the Dragon Ford and you left us halfway. Will that happen with VW?😡😡😡😡😡
i think , it will be the same story ! an other car , an other car ........
Looks like a 1973 if rear fender correct….. rear window got bigger in 1972 by an inch and will not fit your 1965 ….
Oh man...maybe I can just use the corners...?
Sirius about Fastback parts
That fork lift driver is a real ball of fire.. he needs to calm down
SOU intresting progekt
Why aren't you using that new Ford truck to tow that beetle?
please wear gloves while working with rusty parts
He’s had his hands in rat turds before. Rust is least of his problems. Lol
