Will It Run? Police Bug Sitting Abandoned For 35 Years

let's go see what i bought that is ridiculous [Applause] silly [Music] [Music] hey guys and how's it going so it is about six or seven months later and we've gone through the winter and this has been sitting on the trailer the whole time and has not improved apparently i was hoping some magic happened but uh yeah she's definitely uh losing some of its soft rusty underbelly for us but i need my trailer so it has forced my hand to continue on with this and that's what we're gonna go do i gotta get some tires on it so we can kind of get at least the doors open to get in it gotta get rid of the bear who's uh definitely having a danger problem starting to shed just a tad that might make it a little bit of a mess trying to get him out of there and then we can get into the engine and see what we got see what is still good on this car what it needs and uh hopefully sometime in its future bring it back to life but keep the body yeah then banging some dents out of it but keeping the look of the body at the shell and the cop car theme and everything all intact and running it as it is but everything fixed on it that is definitely getting ahead of ourselves for now but that's the plan all right so i'm gonna go see what we can do for i don't know what to do chase tires maybe we'll get some of those on it get it up in the air a little bit get the door open got to get to the battery in the back and etc etc let's let the games begin and i'm thinking white white walls because well that's what i have let's go through them downstairs and pop them on there bling b4 and while we're in there let's see if we get i had to go play with the adjusters and after look who's bringing sexy back off cats will make a definite improvement yeah sure all right let's go get rid of fluffy get him out of there now we can get the door open see what kind of mess you can make with him come on buddy hopefully you're not full of i think your arm's gonna come off i think rigo mortis has stepped in too oh boy come on out let's make you to the dumpster three pieces oh boy and do a little trauma to the head i hope his head doesn't fall off let's see if i can make it to the garbage can well he didn't bleed too bad i was expecting to lose about five cubic feet out of him how's anybody running around go grab a shot back with all the holes from the mice stinking critters was a sunroof at one time not no more they just bonded right over it i get some of that cleaned out of there and oh she's a peach that's your heater channel that might be an issue take away from the structural integrity a little well i cleaned out the driver's side and ran the shop back through it got rid of a bunch of the fluffies and we'll continue on see what we got this i threw in there a friend of mine had it in his building it kind of matches the theme of it so we'll keep that that's part of a tailpipe i don't think that was going to save it and we may find some critters in here hopefully dead does have a vw battery in it it's like it's starting to fall through the floor you bust out a trim ring from the front kind of taste music do we get okay school bus rides safety okay instead of genuine german points probably worth as much as the car is i don't know what that is condenser double the price of the car yeah body paint i don't know i don't dig their taste in music where you think those are another set of points please say what's that it's like some kind of old punch card holes in it for a computer for your your maintenance record and down below what's left of the turmeric see what we're styling for a hat somebody sales forklifts i think that is you want it you have it all right let me get the shop back on this i go get this crap cleaned out of here see we have for uh back by the battery we'll get that seat out of there apparently more junk is coming out from underneath the seats like the world's smallest ice scraper we have a couple of cables throttle cable or heater cable two of those i'm afraid to stick my hand into there wax that there's more another one another cable even further into the bowels let's see what we get more fluffy this is what the seat's supposed to sit on right there it's not attached on one side i say before i contaminate my garage with all that crap i'm gonna run the shop back through there get all it cleaned out flip the seat down and just keep on digging that's vacuumed up the way dare step on the floor [Applause] should have a couple of let's see if i fall through what do we got more fluff some speakers it's another can of paint [Applause] and i need two hands i think we're in more points the lug nut tool that might be the case or was the case for the tool bag it once was paint we got here a soggy old distributor cap it's like the box at the points we're in and chomped on another one of those speakers oh we got over here standard help cap on more vacuum material what's that speaker attached to nothing and a hunk of wood [Laughter] [Music] that's better then you get all fluffy dna out of there but enough to make it so that we can breathe anyway all right so we have under the hood i don't know if that's latched or not and then the rear engine compartment to finish cleaning out we got in here oh there's a there's a live one let's get rid of that take a couple pieces out of here whatever we find leftover parts we'll throw in the parts box and let's get rid of yeah that thing i think there's any alive i'd give it a good shot i think they'd probably be back by the engine though you never know but today is moving day so much rot it does a lot of times it rots out what's underneath it it's too bad the car needs to go and get hit with the pressure washer at some point i want to get all the at least all the heavy crap out of it for now those look terrible go hit it with the vacuum well it's actually a little bit better than expected i don't see any rot damage on it dirty as hell still but nothing blown through usually the piss and crap it's very acidic and it does a lot of damage to the metal pink a lot of it favorite color all right shall we let's go hit the back and we got a wiring harness here that shoot up get through that and it might be headlight wires i think i hope i show you a couple of more beer at least that one is right there that one that one critters now for all the where all the fun happens that's a good one at least the air cleaner's still on it that saves crap from going down inside the carburetor hopefully looks like the choke is somewhat set too so that closes the flap in the top let's get the digging let's get that out of there we will be serving several somebody up in it several eviction notices will be served today it is solid life it's fluffy any bodies yet thank you i get strange feeling though the fan might be a little full all right i'm gonna continue to dig that out oh yeah it's up and behind it i'll show you so on the vw the air gets sucked in behind the generator straight back there's a fan on the back side it draws air in let me get you back there that's where it is i think it might draw a little bit of crap up just saying it's almost dirt it's been there so long like i cleaned out good enough for now check out the bottom of the heater hoses you box the uh tubes going to the heater boxes coming off the fan shroud they're just totally rotted away on the bottom again it's all all mouthpiece which is weird though because everybody see much nest material up inside it let's go get that 10 ml that's still on there usually that's the first thing that's gone so you pop the air cleaner off real easy let's get that 10 ml out of it get the top of the air cleaner off take a look in the carbon oh you remember this thing turns go find out let's get that off of there sounds good warm out four wheelers playing outside that's full well it's not full of oil it uses oil for the base of it throttle moves that's good and now for the one it's the most important it doesn't turn nice sounds like it might be something in the fan don't know why all right so we get for our goo and we gotta go it's low i'm gonna throw a little bit more in there just to kind of top it off with some kind of crappy oil just for making it have a good level while it's gonna get changed out anyway but i'd rather have it and bring all the crap up floating in the oil and then drain it all out so put oil on it can you tell does it show i got it cleaned out decent but even like around the spark plugs it's all still packed in so you know the engine's got to come out since all got to come off get cleaned out i can't get the plugs out right now i can but if i do just a bunch of craps and go down the plug hole and be able to clean them out is just what i talked about you should get all the tins off so i want to get oil to the bottom end top end of the engine and have it kind of splash around the cylinders you know wet the valve stems and and all that so my next best option is just go straight down the carb the car is fairly level let's give her a decent amount the car is fairly level and you kind of want to go down and just run down to each cylinder if not i actually take a floor jack and jack this side up just a little bit because it looks like it's leaning slightly down this direction just to uh get some float to the other side and then get a jumper pack we'll hook it to the battery leads see what happens and got her leaned a little bit the other way a little bit for that side that'll make some smoke let's go plug her in see we get here we just need that terminal battery any sparks something's going in the front was it talking [Applause] that was a switch on on the dash that would have been funny if a sign went off hey what does what i wonder if that's like the pa let's make it making noise nothing i don't know just arbitrarily hitting what does me like ejector oh interior light there you go how's that that's good do you think all right so what's the one that turned on the musical horn so you just hit anything what do you do probably 95 enter or something like that not working there you go i turn it on power call siren you just hit it just get the out of me all right something's happening where's the mic let's go see if that does anything testing testing nope i can't read i need my glasses that's pa right there right yeah nothing it's a volume found it there you go all right gotta watch out for feedback it's the bandit all right we know what that does [Applause] what else can we do let's turn it down [Applause] try it jesus [Laughter] i think it died that one died [Music] someone's gonna think my building alarm is going off all right we're done playing with that let's go see if he does anything let's get on the other side hold on mitchell just give her a little turn [Applause] i think that might be upside down here we go the lights all right go set the camera up in the back let's go spin her over like i said i can't take the plugs out i don't want to let's spin it over let's hear how it sounds see if it's getting compression any other noises did you hear it at first it was a couple of valves that didn't see you here though the puff of the air come out and it seemed like it it went away it cranked a little bit one cylinder does seem a little on the weak side when it's cranking you can hear one you know your three fire then like an open gap in the hit resistance but they may uh clear itself up when it uh spins a little bit more we dump fuel down it i want to try to get underneath it probably get a jumper wire on it with a button so i could sit over here and we can kind of hang out and have some fun together instead of me running back and forth asking you what's going on so let me get that taken care of that's my little trigger it's just got two alligator clips on the end of it and you're just completing a circuit when you hit the button i don't know if you could see on the starter where are we getting there you go and that hole that big wire and there's a little a littler one above it you just have to cross those two so you need to allocate a clip on each one of those and that should do it and for spark just leave the key on and off for the coil power see if we get that and now we have hopefully there we go that's going to reach in it start to heat to the on position so that those guys are powered up that's the generator and the oil light and the coil should have power going to it and i wanted you want to grab ground somewhere and then opposite the condenser side there you go we got power good and then on this side we should be getting an on off signal as the rotor spins let's go pop that cap off real quick and see what we got for fungal loaded they put you in a stand but the car moves around on the left so it shakes even more all right let's get a little light on it yeah there they're coated yeah man focus yeah so they're not gonna make spark i'll take a little bit of time with some uh well emery will clean that up and give her a spin see if she makes pork i'm just gonna lead on the points that's got to be suspended and then it touches a ground somewhere i'm just looking for open and closed circuit go use the so right now if you see the meter can you how about me you just got to suck it in a little no again friendly there so let's ground it so inside of it showing that the points are closed should we open okay if i open it i got a grounding issue i know it is hold on it's my test light oops it's grounded through there there we go you can tell this is a scripted show that's good always open and close i say we just put it back together hope the coil is good and all that kind of stuff and we'll just give her a spin with some fuel on it see if it kicks off well no we'll have to work it's got to crank a little bit anyway i kind of want to work that oil in and oil pressure to come up is the other part of it so i want to spin it some that's not right set up on that i'm just being on an angle now i'm just wrecking the joint i just want to test you man it's missing our clip on the backside too all right we'll deal with meatball later those points that has to stay isolated we often yes we are off you're not touching the rotor let's get some gas in here so this whole fuel system it's going to be going to be beat all of it is corroded and credited and i'm not going to pass the test of time without having some love to it you can see a bleeding out of the fuel pump the old fuel and all of it's just beat so i'm not that concerned about even the fact that it's still hooked up but i'm going to try filling the float bowl up that's a horn so that is the vent for the float ball or you could just shoot fuel in it and it bypasses the fuel pump and everything all this is going to come apart anyway so don't worry about you know you're going to push some dirty stuff into the carb i fully expect it so we'll give her that that was what that was full and let's give her a little bit of just down the throat of it for good measure the test light lit up is the it's connected to the oil pressure switch so we can see from back here if we get oil pressure i think we just go for it see we get come on gonna wire off the [Music] starter oh let's leave it on a fast bottle that's good for the fireball just throw it everywhere whoops all right we need air oil pressure got up one cylinder is popping back here give it one more squirt i may have lost the park not sure [Music] but you could light the gas on fire that's good it's jumping pretty good i'm gonna let it cool down a little bit i'm gonna go refill my fuel bottles and we'll hit it again whatever that leopard yeah level it a little more so that when fuel goes in it kind of goes to both sides like talked about with the oil i think it was favoring that side i gotta turn the key on that would help we should be ready to go again that's like come on yeah good another round camera good oil pressure think about flooding got one good hitter and it's gotta be flooded unfortunate bring they're a it too cozy [Applause] somebody talk to me it's gonna make me full plugs i got them too too foul too much oil in the beginning but i would rather prefer that anyway like i said i wanted the oil on the cylinders to kind of give it a fighting chance for those components but now paying for it here we go not wet they're carboned up like crazy but they're not soaked so uh grab a compression test gauge throw it down in the plug hole see we get let me see if you get anything that's that's good and i didn't even open the throttle 130 that's good that might be the only good one but at least you know one cylinder has enough to go fire on it i'm gonna go through the clean the plug throw it back in make sure we got spark on the end turn the key back on just for shits and giggles before we clean the plug let's go see if it has spark so we'll know what avenue we're chasing um that should be good right on the gas we get it it'll spark and the key is on i don't think it's the plug i think he lost it somewhere else and after cleaning it did you see it light up i thought i said it's great kind of like sparked once and died okay intermittent i am going to take clean those points up a little bit better and maybe on those could have a bad condenser too but let's go try a new plug has a little better heartbeat every time i can't find it you waiting for me to zap myself in my hand aren't you well it's in the center every time but it's weak there's a joke there somewhere let's go throw one plug in because all the other ones that just kind of caked in there you know i i really don't want to uh indulge but we have to we have to i'm gonna throw one plug in we'll see if it'll kick on the one if not i gotta do what i gotta do right let's go try it again you should go on the one and pick up the others i can put any fuel in it yet just who we get [Music] okay [Music] you got around the one so i do that a couple of times get some fuel in it and i'm hoping the other ones will kind of clear out let's back you up and reset oh is it dirty pull out a couple of mess let's go oh sure sure step on my crate let's try it again assuming it sets the fuel bottle from all right so that i can keep feeding it once you go again here's my smartphone [Music] [Laughter] sugar i just need to be able to contort myself [Music] picked up another one all right it might be out of bullets try one more picked time another cylinder gotta get some more fuel that was just the oil light flopping around that's like get rid of that coil's warm i've had it powered up for a while i think it's using some of it from the bowl we'll let you hang out right there nothing like a fuse to your bomb going to the carburetor shall we [Music] [Music] hey she's apartment in coffin and i think she's gonna go first like we want but it does run definitely not well that does live unless yahoo [Music] that's running off the car that's what i'm putting in the float pole that's running on shooting down the center i need air in here all right so i went in further that is plug number one and i would say first get in focus hmm it is definitely oh come on it's definitely gooey and foul i have a feeling that maybe this was a problem that the car had when it was put away was having a hard time running because a lot of that's old it's not new from the oil i put on there it wouldn't be that cruddy and blackened that's been burned on there for a while what i did in hell but it did help the other components so get a fresh one in there and possibly gonna start digging for the other two see if i can get either one of them done and see what we get for results all right four new plugs and it did put a little bit of a fight had to tap one of them see we get uh try with just what's in the little pole right now now it's out of gas yeah it runs good let's see what plugs can do i got to go air out the spark is off i have the key off up front let's go take the fuel line after the pump will crank and see if we get anything out of it nothing wrong with that yet all right so she's got a bunch of crap in her [Music] don't leave that hooked up fine vintage let's give it another round get that new line tapped off that car might be full of crap right now but i wanna see if it's gonna run off that float ball charging system works [Music] should die in a second shot at death now she does not want to die she just wants to run around curious to see what it's got for stuff that works i think we have enough horns though let's go for it it's got to be good for the blades oh that's just great for the glass good idea should we have lights yeah there's our hazard let's see if we get lights nothing out back okay one headlight no parking lights and went through a mall we have it wants to go there it goes it didn't have any that one's going nothing in the rear i know that one harness kind of chewed in the front a little bit too well that fender's good it's got a headlight and directional [Applause] [Applause] do you feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel yes yes i do not push our luck put a fuel filter in the line so that we can see if the fuel is going through it or if we run out and how much it keeps gulping hopefully it does not float out the top of the carburetor but it might it should be good enough to run us for a bit all right let's see she'll run off the tank let that run for a few minutes [Music] [Music] that's pretty good this brake drum is stuck so i'm going to jack the other side up let's see if we can get it to go through the gears and see if the clutch pedal works too go do that run it fine you can be able to see it's pretty dark down there look at they got chains there is chains connected and we get a light you normally use a stop on the floor but considering there's no floor left where that would be down there he actually looked up that's the brake pedal totally froze let's see if anything on the collection yeah yeah here we go nothing it's frozen through the gas pedal probably the same thing yeah the cable in the back is not moving so everything needs to come out get fixed and decorated how about we just kind of give her in the clutch a little bit that's the cruise control option maybe work it a couple of times spray some lube in there let me get that one working so anyone we need right you know we need a gas pedal really all right i'm gonna go juice that up a little bit work that pedal see we got going off the gas pedal i got a clutch i need to help just a little bit good enough for now the only problem is also i fell through the floor that might be an issue hey look the brake line right out of harm's way gas pedals next and that's a little bit loving i would definitely say the carburetor is flooded now this should long as it returns there you go kind of sort of a gas pedal every time i get in the car i hit this and this crap falls down my shirt from out of the headliner nasty nasty anyway enough whining so it should start in the key probably flooded the crap out of it though from where it goes [Music] your mother was kicking in [Music] laughs let's see if we can run it through the gears good i think we got is the brake drum on the other side stuck so i may try letting this tire down so that the other rim will want to spin to get the brake loose with the transmission i got to block up the wheels and stuff though because it's just kind of sitting there just launch me across see if we can get that one to pop free [Applause] i was doing burnouts on this side though oh well we tried the beating's got to start i was burning out on the other side though i could see the tire moving it is down all the way too [Music] so directly inside there what i hit is the emergency brake lever if you need to go if there's any plane it can go if you can go back they don't make room i didn't think it was that easy it didn't seem like a move though that showed me some point yeah it's better than what it was and so that back wheel is still stuck real good and we're going to keep increasing the effort until we either break something or get it to move one thing is the emergency brake cable adjustment which is that there's two cables that from that boot run down to the back one to each side i'm gonna try backing it off and see if we can get some free play in there and move that brake lever in the drum back a little further and see if you can get the shoes to shrink down a little bit more i got a bunch of lube and oil in there now too uh rust breaker i still don't think that's going to do it for us found some more cassettes down by the shifter belly min versus the emperor bling being i have no idea grace hits a stealing man we got the last one maximum weight loss okay i think the car already has it let's see if we can get any more out of that made a noise i don't think the cable's stuck i i don't think that was actually causing much of it i said we fire it up one more time now that's been sitting with oil in it and we'll try to uh actually strap the car down first we'll put it in reverse and see we can get to break free one more time before we start getting more drastic there's two brake adjusters right there and there i try to adjust them they are locked up solid one of the things you can try and do it's hard because it's on the trailer you get in there with a punch and a hammer and sometimes you can get them to rotate a little bit but i have a feeling that they're pretty i think everything in here is pretty locked up all right cold start let's see how it does power yay i wouldn't exactly say that it's free but at least it's turning you can go run through the forward gears kind of burn off some of that crap in the drum [Music] foreign i was hitting the emergency brake trying to burn some of the rust off whatever it works come on turn for me ah there you go it was good enough to turn it by hand that's good i wonder why he died on me two days later for safety i didn't want all the fuel coming out of it it didn't all right can it drive off the trailer by itself and not crashing anything i think i have a little bit of emergency brake but that's about it [Music] wait a little bit of that i don't think it did anything maybe a little all right enough for me i topped off that gas can so we're good for a good eight miles just gonna be cautious with the floor we're gonna put our feet down and we're gonna maybe try to open our window for a little cross ventilation wonderful and see if we could shut it good shall we birch brakes along the other way [Music] a little bit shake the rust out of here i remember i can't stop checking our gas cancer big rocks see if anything fell off gaskey is leaning a little bit more so [Music] [Music] there we go i got rid of the light stuff i lost my vice grips it could be an issue okay go find my rice chips she lives there we are hey we're dragging a little this is not the battery side it's just a driver's seat falling out of it oops i think i rolled the bead on the tire got flat now the rest of them holding up just one we got three more but will it start again [Music] i got to knock that tire off [Applause] so [Applause] so [Applause] well i mean it's a little vw event you can tell by what's going on in the back window there i figure we'll roll in with a little bit of fashion we should be able to hook this one up and that should get that back light going stevie sort of kind of might be a love tap there we go all right let's go fire her up bring her in foreign what oh my god i would say special interest i would say absolutely all right so yeah just see jerry okay okay once you are just taking the registration okay i brought my best car what do you got there you go sir thank you let's go make some noise uh oh [Music] well guys all the hard work paid off we took home the gold well it's called trophy anyway and what else would you expect right that's going front and center of my trophies all right guys with that thanks for hanging out with me have a little bit of fun and we'll do it again sometime soon thanks for watching see you then later [Music] [Music] you
