VW BUS King Pin and Link Pin things to know if your going to replace them
Nice tool! Much better than carrying a large battery or struggling to find a jump starter with no power.
Maybe solder can be a more permanent repair to the tube
I came home at 4 AM to find my car battery completely dead. I noticed that the glove box in my old car had opened by itself, and the light inside drained the battery. I started carrying the JFEGWO jump starter over a year ago when I had battery issues. Today was the first time I actually used the JFEGWO, and I had to use the manual override boost to start the car. :) It worked perfectly.
Where is this place located, Pls ??
All hail Mike!!
Great color! you did awesome !! I have been searching for an oval my self.
Such a great tip - bought a new relay, took the steering rack apart and the instrument console: 2 min watch here and found the issue. Great knowledge. BZ.
Not what it’s for. It’s for electrical connections that get exposed to water. All it does is provide a barrier to help keep water out.
Great minds think alike! I bought the digital keypad version directly from Vevor six months ago. I cleaned an engine case and a pair of heads with outstanding results. And engine tin as well. I am not a chemist but I can pretend to be one in your comments section. After studying the active ingredients in professional ultrasonic engine parts cleaners, I created my own concoction of Harbor Freight degreaser and washing soda. Highly effective. You are right though - too many cycles and the heads stained. But it did take carbon off which surprised me. Keep the videos coming. Don’t forget that I am eagerly awaiting that 2110 or at least a 82mm build!
I worked as a glass guy for a body shop like earl sheib. There was a Malibu there. I took the back glass out. And there wasn’t anything there but rust. You could see the ground. I asked how are you going to fix that? Where would you start? They used chicken wire, newspaper and bondo to shape a new pinch weld and structure. I glued a new glass in, and had to glue the moldings on. I’m sure the glass was part of the structure when the glue sat up. At this shop… the painter, painted 20 cars in a day.
Hey Mike ! on a VW you should use Ubber Cleanlink
In the 1970s or early 80s I had a VW Type 3 and got an Earl Shieb paint job. It actually came out decent, but I removed all the chrome and bumpers and sanded and spot primed it myself first. I can attest that the paint they put on was thin though.
good video thanks for your time and help
Hey what is the color of that beetle?
I had a newport painted that robin egg blue
i put diesel in my cleaner
wow that might work for some of this stuff.
Try using a strong mixture of Spray Nine Cleaner with the water. Results are amazing.
Great suggestion!
Love your videos! Passing along good information to a guy that puts out great information.
Well, what do you expect with an irish catholic boss like earl?😂

You throw that in with the idea of disabling like plug wires, etc. or 2-3 kill switches would make it harder I like your videos, right on!
I managed the Van Nuys shop in 1987. The cost for a gallon of paint was $2.95. When I sold a little bottle of touch up paint it paid for the cost of painting the whole car. Scheib owned their own paint manufacturing plant. The paint was an Alkyd enamel, the same type of paint used on model T's. The only sandpaper grit they had was 220, and all sanding was with a DA. The sanding was only a scuff. We were allotted 1 gallon per car. The worst part was the Scheib clear. It had a heavy yellow tint. So if a customer picked a blue to paint the car, and he bought the good paint job. he got a green car. I tried not to sell the job with the clear coat, because I knew I would have trouble when delivering the car. The Scheib's loved me because I brought in more cash than the previous managers had. They didn't like that I didn't sell the most expensive jobs. I made the $ selling the body work instead. I don't know when ownership changed, but when I worked there AJ Scheib hired me, You would find Earl at the Bevery Hills shop every morning. My shop had a great body man. He came to California at 18 years old having grown up in PA, his dad owned a body shop, and like you, nobody would hire him at 18.
Adolf hitler ?
Worked for Schieb...1 DAY! When they told me to fix a rust spot, i got torch and grinder...but before i started working the rust out, the manager came in STUFFED NEWSPAPER IN THE HOLE..."BONDO" over the mess, ....i packed my tools and walked off
No battery perhaps too The lights will get powered from the generator directly I mean you could add a small battery no big deal if you wanted it you could put a CD player in this thing
Geile Kiste .😂😂😂
My dad had a '78 Nova he had bodywork and paint done by Scheib in '87. The bottoms of the doors were rusted on it. We got the car back and it looked great. After a month, he came and picked me up at work and I got in and slammed the passenger door and heard a thunk. I opened the door and a huge long chunk of bondo, wadded newspaper and plastic mesh onion bags fell out! We stood there in disbelief and my dad went nuts. He picked up this mess and drove back to the shop. Walked in with this mass of bondo, newspaper and onion mesh bags and hurled it at one of the workers. Lots of foul language and we were asked to leave and threatened to call the police. I went with and was embarassed but it was hilarious at the same time. Wished we had smart phones back then to record this Lol. I think the total bill back then for the paint and bodywork was $450 Lol.
They used to call Earl scheib McDonald's of auto body repair
One of my neighbors used to buy and fix up cars he used to have them painted at Earl scheib
❤arranqie original de los primeros modelos del vw.todo un ícono ❤❤❤
Guilty as charged!
It’s 2024 and now I wish the gases were like that
they really needed to tell the truth,this is a cheap paint job. the place i was thinking of going told me so many things they didnt do that i changed my mind and went to Maaco. Maaco was a little better.
please fix the fender welt its not smooth. LOL
always paint on the trim. always a joke paint company.
Yea I’m not so sure you’re gonna get 10.5:1 compression with a 283 without decking the heads or the block especially with camel hump or power pack heads. The camel humps had 64cc chambers and SOME power packs had 58cc but most were 60cc. The best heads are the 305 HO because the 416 casting had 58cc chambers and the 601 casting has 53cc chambers. With a flat top piston (5cc valve reliefs), stock deck height, a .015” x 4.100” head gasket, .025 deck clearance, and 53cc chambers, you only get around 9.77:1. The best way to bump the compression is to bore it more, deck the block or heads, get small dome pistons, or lower the compression and run some nitrous or boost. Not trynna be rude or shoot down your video, but 10.5:1 on a 283 is ALOT harder than that compression ratio on a 350 or a 454.
im 80 years old and remember Scheib, werent considered the best paint company for sure,but cheap. main complaint was poor prep/masking.
Tudok egy helyet, ahol van vagy száz ilyen roncs! Mindegyik wv Bogár!

Great stories.
That's a pertty motor
The whole "patina" shit is for kids who don't know their history. I got my driver's license in '84 and NOBODY wanted to be caught dead in a rusty car, PERIOD.
I’ve always been confused why people like patina. Like you want your car to look like an old rust bucket??
Literally listened to ill communication in a slammed vw bug for the first time
SS 👍
That hole is getting a little wore out
Great advice mike. In the process of rebuilding the Veep body. At 68 years old, just get it done and move on.
It only welds 1/8 but the flux 125 welds 3/16. Wow flux is half the price.
Great review!
I purchased the same model jump starter. Shortly after, the battery in my Chevy diesel truck died. I was surprised at how successfully it started the engine! I'm very satisfied with that purchase.
