Do you have a part number for the self supported starter?

ive always loved the history of the beetle and around a year and a half ago i got myself a 99 mexi beetle (my 2nd car) it hasn't been treated vary nice so i figured to give it a new life (pretty sure it was a taxi). it was in a front end crash and needed a new front clip. it needs a whole new interior, paint job and id like to take the engine out for a basic service and rebuild to freshen it up. i am now trying to prepare myself for the road block after road block because of the unique injection system and all the sensors that normal beetles never had, the car ran briefly for around 30 sec last summer but last time it drove was 2016. the beetle was driven from Quattro Mexico to BC Canada around 4500 km trip (2796 miles) by its previous owner. to say these Mexican beetles are rare here is an understatement and getting parts has been challenging. the car has its new front end and is nearly ready for its 1st drive in 9 years i know for a fact something wont work and ill have to replace it i just hope its a part can find. my plan is to get it driving and be a solid daily driver this summer i see you also have a late 97 beetle i was wondering if you know where i could find parts more easily i know about places like the thesamba.com and www.1600i.de/ but the shipping fees are crazy, so i was hoping you know of any i may have missed that are in the us/Canada also when your getting parts do people think your talking about the "new beetle" and not the type 1 its happened to me so many times lol

My vw story: it was 2011 I bought a beetle white we couldn’t return it because the owner died but I still used it. 3 years later I converted it into Herbie it wasn’t the exact model but I changed it so it looks more like Herbie and then changed it into Monte Carlo style.

Herbie goes bananas!! Where was it?? I want to go there!!☺️☺️

She’s a beauty!!! Wow!

Awesome

Where did you see this car?

Where’s does it go?? I have both

My brother had one when I was 8 years old took me to Herbie the love bug and I was bitten got my first one at 14 couldn’t drive but worked on it to get it running and sold it for a nicer one and on and on , now 50 some years later I have atleast 8 to 10 at a time

It was around halfway through 2023, I had started getting into cars and the history of them, one of them really captivated me, the story of the vw beetle. Something about its concept, its design, its reach around the world, got me hooked. So in January of 2024 I sold my entire retro video game collection to purchase a beautiful green 1972 beetle. (I was 15) And it needed a lot of help. Soon I will be turning 17, I am still working to bring this beetle back to its former glory (I’m a high school student who’s been trying to get a job for a while) Currently I am just waiting to be able to get the funds to really fix up this car. Believe me I will NEVER sell this car.

That beetle is made for off-roading

Herbie looks amazing!

Happy birthday Herbie!! I also have one of my own. Happy birthday!!

Really cute ! I fell in love with my friends Norwegian forest kittens and took two home 😂

😲

I have looked everywhere for the top seal for my 95 vw cabrio does anyone know where I can find a new set???

One metric and other American standard.

You are a legend in the Herbie fanatic world, Dave. You've got to meet Dean Jones and have his signature and create your own website, which I followed a lot when I was a kid. You and your Herbie are just about everywhere. My dad and I have been working on a Herbie project of our own for 10 years, and we are starting to really get the ball rolling now. We can't wait to have it done.

I wish some company would make quality parts that ms worth our money

It’s a press fit. Put the bearing in the oven and heat it up. Should slide right on.

I saw in another video where they mounted a wooden table on the wall with a 2 x 4 and swivel block latch. I bet I could use that same premise with one of these tables.

Omg it is 3 minutes until Saturday 😂

Hell yeah brother 👍

If VW would make another new Beetle with an air-cooled engine in the rear, I would buy it.

I installed one of this from that I bought on Amazon, no problem at all with it. I click it in one side at the time.

That was me in my grand national @2:32 I couldn’t get my car to hook.

Great video man. I'm currently facing the same issue but for my case, it only happens during the first start up of the day. Subsequent start up the noise would be gone and mine shifts just fine.. Should I be worried enough to get it rebuilt ASAP or?? What would you suggest? Thanks!

That Datsun is quick

I installed my lights with 3M clear tape. It withstood 50mph on the highway with rain. Today it snowed on Long Island and the tape still holds well but if you give a pull on them, they will only come off then. I used a wider clear tape around my wheels and on the hood, also applied on some parts where the wires are popping up. I pretty much used the wider tape to make it wind resistant. The tape won't damage my car because I washed it before applying my lights.

Would that air filter box been on the 73 standard ?

Love it!!!

No

damm air cooling not working with this one lol

Looked like a great time.

Great tip!!

To me it looks like the bare wire wrapped around another wire is there to shield from other electrical interference but I can't be certain without seeing a diagram

Rocket League

I’d just swap with a early 60s to late 70s harness unless you need all those for factory equipment or whatever but if your car is super basic you don’t need a lot of those

Looks like shielded cable and the shield is connected to ground... in audio cables doing this reduces noise and signal interference etc. not sure what it's for in this situation

Cus they're German.

I'm a little bit jealous.

Great concrete pouring weather, not a cloud in sight!!

Is it a golf front end swap Jetta???

That’s awesome! What a find!

Remarkable, cool story!! Finding matching caps is almost as remarkable as the wheels!!

What’s wrong with this engine
