Will it Drive? Yard Find Vw Beetle - First Drive attempt!

The 1970 Yard Find VW Beetle is back! In the last episode, we managed to get the engine firing, but today is the real test: Will the old car actually move under its own power? Before we hit the road for the 70 Beetle's first drive, I’ve got some mechanical "to-do" items. We're cleaning out the carburetor in the ultrasonic, changing the oil (wait until you see the "silver paste" in the strainer!), and dealing with a very rusty gas tank. We’re also diving back into the mystery of the 1200cc engine swap and seeing if this little motor has enough heart to pull us up the local hills. It’s an "F-minus" first drive in some ways, but every rescue is a journey. In this video: Ultrasonic cleaning the carb The "Silver Paste" oil change Dealing with a rusty fuel tank (Plan B!)
