Hello Samba folks! My friends and I recently traveled to Wylie, Texas to resurrect a logoed original paint ‘59 euro panel and filmed the whole trip. We thought some of you may enjoy. Please like and share, we’d greatly appreciate!

The only cleaning it’s received so far has been the rain 😂. I’ll be cleaning her up soon tho.

Whooo Hoooo! original M 178 (speed governor equipped) 36 HP Bus engine! Business owner didn't want his employees driving too fast. The very definition of an oxymoron. Hope you didn't leave it behind?

Nope, I got it and the original trans. I feel like it with a simple once over and reseal it would come back to life and be fine… just slow haha

So what was the final cause of your intermittent miss? what is the fuel pump, or ignition or ?. will you be buffing it out?

Nice vid. thanks for sharing!

We ended up replacing the fuel pump and the condenser and that was the end of our troubles. I’m guessing the fuel pump tho.

Yes, I will be cleaning it up then buffing it. I feel like it’s going to come out pretty well. I will do an update video of it cleaned in the next few weeks.
