Wow I love how these old VWs just need a good dizzy &carb, fresh battery and a nice squirt of gas and that's it... they'll run like a champ.

what are the odds you guys want to do a trip to Newfoundland, be able to film some awesome footage, and take a look at my 1972 VW westfalia that hasn't been started in 15 years? was parked to paint, ran perfect, but it never ended up getting painted and it stayed in the garage all those years.
Accommodations at my 5 star air&b can be discussed, as well as kayak and canoe access and some other fun experience options?
That is; if you don't have a spring/ summer trip figured out yet.
Think on it!-Hope

Rings are in the near future with all that smoke.

Great episode! Love the 71's. I just bought a clean 78 Westy Deluxe that is very dry even though it is in the pacific northwest. Looking forward to bringing it back to life.

[jasonswearingen]

That was a great episode! Congrats on getting it up and running. 😀👍🏻🤙🏻

Really hoping to see y'all work on the sunroof! I have one on my 72' bus that I've been working on a bit now and still can't get it to work great. Stoked to see it run!

[haskyb]

Great video. Nice to see the old man an boy working together. Oh and on another note - Jake, the lack of face fungus is an improvement 🧔‍♂️ 😂

May I ask what what ya guys got for this 71 deluxe? I've got a 72 tin top that I picked up in 96 and put minimal $$ into her to be a decent bus for work, and it's became one of our daily drivers. I paid $160 and traded a $40 sack of something to a guy. Parked her in 2005 and I'm getting ready to move from Vegas to Pennsylvania and planned on having her trucked back. Is it worth the cost in your opinions? The sentimental value far exceeds the actual price, I'm sure. But it has no rust, all original windows (except windshield) original chrome strips, some bondo in the nose and slider. I just wish she were 1 year older at the very least. Dang type IV engine and ugliness taillights. But like one of your kids, not perfect or possibly expected, but she's mine and I love her.

Outstanding video guys, have a great New Years from Cumbria, England. Ps: managed to get my VW life Sticker. Please sent a email address and I’ll add a photo of Betty flying the flag. All the best from our auntie’s and uncles

Did you check your valve clearance after you got it running and change the oil soon after?
