VW Bug Dweezil Restoration Steering Box and Front Beam E4
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 07. 2019
- The restoration continues with removal of the front beam and a deep dive into the steering box. Aircooled VW engines get a lot of attention, but even the less obvious parts of a vintage Beetle have some cool designs too. Dweezil shows us how the steering works while Tig smells things and provides morale support. Next!

I had forgotten what a great tutorial this video is regarding first principles of maintenance. Great thinking, great execution and really well done.
You're so kind to grace me with such thoughtful comments. Thanks as always for being a part of the channel.
Very professional. No jibber jabber. Great editing. I'm learning as much as I am able before I get a VW. Thanks for posting. I feel that the music is distracting, but that's my opinion. The guitar section is less distracting. Your information is important. Please don't let the music interfere. Every garage needs a lab as a mascot. Anybody that has a lab can't be all bad. Labs are great supervisors. Best wishes, Ivor
Hey IVOR WM! Thanks for the thumbs up and your thoughts. I agree, labs are great and Tig makes a great mascot. Thanks for watching!
Just removed ny steering box, having a cup of coffee and watching your video for inspiration for my next step! Thanks for a great video!
Sounds like a nice way to spend a day! I hope your project continued to go well and thanks for watching Johan!
OMG!!!! I am starting my third VW restore a 65 dune buggy this time and this is the first time I have ever seen/heard anyone using an engine stand to mount their beam to!! GENIUS!!! I'm definitely going to be doing that TOMORROW!!!
Very cool! Good luck on the latest build (I'd love to have a "woods" buggy") and let us know how it goes. Thanks for checking out the video!
Haptic Garage I’m already hooked on watching your channel! I discovered your great channel while looking for info on king pin front ends....that is the only “unknown” of my new project....
Thanks Doug, I'm glad you like what you see here and hope you get the king and link pins sorted out. I'm new to them too on this '67 Splitty; I believe they will be a good design for your buggy due to their strength. Just takes a bit more maintenance to keep them serviced. Thanks for being a part of the fun!
Hey, I really enjoy your videos... i came to find your channel with the excellent Tin's restoration series just love that you broke those down very clearly, no offence but you've come a long way from these videos... this is great and i'm enjoying this series etc but i have to say when you breal it down and teach step by step and don't rush over it ... well it's just fantastic ... especially for a new to vw's person like me, i learn so much ... so keep up the great work and don't rush my friend.
Thanks so much @mattlee007 , I appreciate your feedback and am glad you are enjoying the channel. Welcome to a great hobby!
@@HapticGarage yep love it
Man this series fills me with determination and insights for my many hopes and dreams involving beetles, vehicle restorations, tool building, workshop building... So much motivation! Keep up the good work brother!!
Those sound like good hopes and dreams to me, Canis Major! I'll do my best and wish you many great days in the shop on your projects! I'm working on a travel video now, but more Dweezil updates to follow. Thanks again for the awesome comments!
Great job on the video. Its always fun to see your new videos pop up in my feed.
I'm glad you liked it Daniel Hughes, thanks for taking a look!
Your narration is both entertaining and educational!
Hey VW Life! I've been enjoying your coverage of all the cool VW events in Texas, thanks for the comment!
Truly enjoyed this vid, thank you.
Really nice job man! I've been waiting for an update for a long time! The tap was really cool! =)
Thanks, CT! I'm grateful for the interest you and others have shown. Shouldn't be as long before the next one... Thanks again!
@@HapticGarage Are you still in Florida?
Yes! Will finish school in August, then more time for YT!
@@HapticGarage Cool, maybe we can meet up at some point.
Good video. Glad to see you working on it again.
Thanks, Vintage Speed VW! We'll have to meet up at Bug Jam so I can check out that Baja!
@@HapticGarage sounds good. I look forward to meeting you. Currently installing thing axles,stub axkes and 930 cv's with an 002 trans and a 10 degree mount. Should be fun!
Wow Vintage Speed VW, that will be stout!
Tig is really the star! Fun video. Try to change your camera angle. The fluorescents in the background create a blur that is not only distracting but also is a little fatiguing on the viewer. I’m really liking the flow, the information, and the production. I’m not a VW junkie but this is cool to watch.
Thanks for the constructive criticism, Nathan Corlew- I didn't like that shot either! Learning a little each video keeps it fun. I also need to figure out something practical for audio when the fan is running- it's too hot in the summer here to turn off! I'm glad you like the video, and thanks for commenting!
Good video ! Im at the same point right now on a baja Im building getting the pan torn down to rebuild.
Thanks Robert, your'e in a labor intensive part of the project right now but it's a ton of fun when you start the reassembly. Keep it up and enjoy the process!
THANK YOU
You're welcome Alan and thanks for watching!
JW Classic VW suggeested your site, so I have subscribed. Jonesing out for the next episode though.. Really enjoyed the videos to date.
Wow, thanks for checking out the channel Thomas Pollock, and welcome! I've said it before, but I really appreciate that JW Classic VW shared the site- thanks for letting me know!
Another great video
Very cool Aussie Beatle, I can't thank you enough for your consistent viewership and supportive commentary. It's great to have you here!
Finally a new video!!!! I’m so excited that I had to comment before I watched it!!! 😁🤪
Ha! Thanks, VW Jawbreaker- I thought about you while finally finishing this one. You rock!
Haptic Garage man, you’re such a great story teller and now we’re seeing some humor. Please keep up the great work, it’s great to see you again.
Thanks, VW Jawbreaker- I'm excited to have the opportunity to upload today. Thanks for the support and keep those videos coming!
Haptic Garage I honestly can’t bring myself to record after watching your videos.... your quality is top notch buddy.
Oh, stop it- thanks to you I know something about synchronizing carbs... and rebuilds... and the best shows in our area... and...and...and...And thanks for the kudos!
Love your channel man keep up the good work!!
Thanks, JW Classic VW! I'll do my best!
PS- thanks for sharing the channel with with Duckman Cycles and VW Garage- both you guys are great!
@@HapticGarage no problem man... you have a great thing going, just remember us small guys when you BLOW up!!! Lol :)
Ha! You got it, JW Classic VW. From a small guy among friendly giants, thanks for the encouragement!
I’m messing with my steering box as we speak. Ugh!! I’m switching to John Deere Corn Head grease. I believe it’s “00”, consistency. Don’t want to have to worry about leaks out of my old seal. I found a bunch of pasty grease in it when I took it apart. Great channel!
Cool! I think I've used a similar grease in the chain case of my old Snapper riding mower. Seems that should work well. Stay tuned- the remainder of the steering box refurb will be in a future video. Thanks for sharing your project!
Haptic Garage sounds great, I will definitely be hanging around your channel. Right in the middle of doing my steering box right now, unfortunately. 😂 There’s so many ddifferent greases we can use, that’s just what I ended up choosing.
@@SladesVWBeetle Making it work is one of the fun parts! I'm glad you like the channel, I'll see you here again soon!
Haptic Garage Thanks! Just subscribed here!
Sent over by JW Classic VW Looks like you've got a good project here! SUBBED!
Thanks, Duckman Cycles and VW Garage! It's a project alright... I can see from your channel that you know all about projects! Thanks for subbing!
Hey, love the videos- just starting work on a beat up ‘66 - did you ever re-run a fuel line? I’d love to see how it’s done!
Thanks Sean! I did run a new fuel line through the tunnel. It was a little tricky but ended well and I'm looking forward to sharing the process. Right now I'm working on the last episode of the Vandemic series before getting caught up on the Dweezil project (including the fuel line replacement). There are a few ways to tackle that project but we may be adding another method to the list. Thanks for watching!
I use foam earplugs for the holes in the top.
Thanks Randall, that seems like it would work well!
@@HapticGarage They do.
Hello,and great videos! So just one question . Many ,many videos I have seen on CZcams, Seem to forget to provide, the tap size, and other information. regarding the plug size etc.
Nice stream of consciousness. My 69 steering box thanks you. Subbed.
Thanks, Garretts Garage! I had not thought of it that way, but I see what you mean- neat perspective on the video. Welcome to the channel!
Time for a video!
Hey Vintage Speed VW! That's awesome- thanks for the nudge. Today is the last day of school for me, so I will be able to pick up the pace here on the channel... I'm excited for it! Thanks for checking in!
You mentioned cutting a gasket. I am interested if you actually cut it out and where you bought the paper. What thickness? Thanks!
Yes! Some are easier to reproduce than others, but gasket material is available in many forms and thicknesses; paper, fiber, rubber, cork...I found a variety pack (Fel-Pro part # 3060) and used the Rubber-Fiber sheet, 1/32" thickness. I'm focused on the bus project right now, but will continue sharing the Dweezil project (including the gasket making) after the bus is on the road. Thanks for watching!
@@HapticGarage Thanks for this information! I am currently restoring a 72 Karmann Ghia. Currently working on the steering box and front beam area. Thankful for your videos!
@@finray2 Oh wow, what a great project. I almost had a '72 Ghia once... I'm glad you're finding the videos of some value and I wish you the best of luck with your project. Thanks for being a part of the channel!
