dont fuck around with the cooling systems on these buddy, it runs really hot for some reason (thermostat opens at 220 F? cant remember for sure) and its all plastic crap known for leaking alot and cracking etc even with delco coolant and everything. i never seen a thermostat so filthy as the one you're showing, i think it's the stop leak for sure. i would NEVER pour stop leak into a cooling system, period, thats just the way i was trained, much less a car with such a legendarily shitty cooling system as a 1.4 cruze.

Wow! Love the colour! Gives us a good idea of how it's going to look! 💙

😁😂 A very nice home for the vehicles!!

Quit smacking your lips

Does it have a dsg gearbox or a normal automatic one?

i know ur old school but next time wear a mask pops 😅😅

Should of protected the floor

Good deal. With new suspension it will probably drive amazing.

If you really wanted to be cheap you might stick suspension parts on offer up or Facebook marketplace. I wish I had saved mine. I think I gave it away on craigslist.

Great video Stephen! I think you did good on that purchase! 👍🏽Thanks for sharing!

Completely ghetto. You Didn’t even bother to sand the peeling paint and curb rash. The center caps will look like they are missing blacked out like that. No paper under the rims while spraying? I’ll bet the silver outlines on the garage floor look great lol. You shouldn’t be posting how to videos if that is your level of workmanship.

Hi Stephan, it's a nice buy👍🏻. However, I saw the warning signals in the dash👀 Some could surprise you with difficult things, such as the lights, safety belts, and the engine warning signal. my friend I hope you don't get too many problems with the beetle. It`s old so you will also discover some rust problems, especially beneath. See you in the next video. Greetings.Hubertus🙏🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱🍀💫🇨🇦

If I were you I would replace the timing belt, tensioner and water pump first. This is an interference engine and belt should be changed every 40k miles. If the belt breaks it destroys the engine and you don't have to worry about the rest of the car. Great deal though.

Pretty cool rig

I just cant get over all the Snow you guys get! Good score for $500!!

🐞

Glad you got a decent deal

Does it have glow plugs? What was that noise when you shut it off? Only my knowledge.... most modern VWs require a wiring harness to fix 90 % of electrical issues. My sisters (my 09 rabbit) required a 275$ US, to fix all the issues. Excellent find...

Forget the ugly Beetle, and get back to the '69 bus!

Not bad for $500

Hey it seems to start up really easily. Cool find brotha

I think it's still a score for $500 and well worthy of some new parts 😎👍

For 500 bucks you can sell the motor and make a profit

Just did a once over on this car, Its not bad at all !

Not bad for 500, a little TLC and you’ll have a driver!👍🏽 Thanks for sharing Stephen!

What is happening to our car design engineers today... having to take apart a bumper and more just to replace a hose...

Awesome job.

What grade of sandpaper to use on wheels

Hello. On my 63, I installed the Geo Metro brake booster. It fits perfect without shock tower support brace. I made a video. m.ruclips.net/video/Fm1z97UPQ8U/видео.html

So cute, so hard to work on the engine....no room in the engine compartment. Great price for another project!

Nooice! 😎 STOC

Good score for $500! Started up in the Cold great Too!!

GREAT SCORE !!! There are deals like that here. But for older bugs, type 2 and type 3's. I bet another 700$ in.... then you could sell it for 2k CJ parts came in... that work begins tomorrow. I still like the Mario Cart car.

Almost bought one a while back that was a 5 speed manual. Nice buy Stephan, especially for $500 👀

Better you than me with that vw 😂😂 I am personally not a euro car guy but nice score though$500 decent price

A broken bug

In 1999, my wife was just graduated from high school. We were dating and she ordered a new beetle with turbo and automatic in silver and it took eight months to come in by the time it came in it was the year 2000 we called it the y2k bug

I have this car. It's kinda loud in the engine bay.

Sweet score

With a flopping around rear view mirror I would have only given him 400. 🥴

I love my AAA, cover's up to 200 miles per tow 😂

This is my latest find !! I didn t really need an other car, but how could I pass this up !!!!

Cool man!

The chrome paint you get at dollar general looks and holds up better than that paints.

Just had this situation happen on my 2008 civic si. The local shop thought it was the starter, but we found out it was just a bad battery ground!

Awesome update my friend full watch God bless ❤

I say run it like that! 😁 JK that's what Pimp My Ride used to do. Good work. Took a lot of dedication and persistence. Can't wait to see where you go next. Still no rain here in San Diego, but I have a feeling when it comes it's gonna rain a lot, so I still need to get the window put back in asap. First step is buying some gas.

Best video yet on this. I have a ‘23 pro of course with cameras too but I made a very slight hit backing into my campsite late one evening and hit a big tree. Nothing broke not even indentation in the plastic outer cover but the corner is out of whack and that corner plastic bracket isn’t broken either so I guess my culprit for the misalignment in the corner is that thin tin metal piece you mentioned so I’m going to remove that plastic corner bracket and see if it can be realigned successfully without replacing it. Thank you very much

You also need to put a small bead of silicone where the timing chain cover meets the block.

I'm digging the VW bus. Cool
