I don't want rust darker, but I want to see if it comes back. Black paint will make it look darker.

I don't know how he sprayed that while talking through is video. I could barely handle spraying a little 6 inch area on my rusty garage door rail as a test. The door was open, and I had to walk a way for a moment. I bought a 50 dollar 3M respirator, and I'm pretty sure that saved my braincells. A whiff of brake cleaner is nothing compared to this stuff. Works great though.

The explanation of how the column and shaft work together helped me understand how that sucker works. Trying to figure out a short in the horn on my 68. Thanks for posting 👍

using this today. I hope it works out well, my battery tray is a bit rusty, but if all fails i will buy a new one.

Can we use it on disk brakes?

good video--I am just doing my first engine build--I had a shop look over the case just to make sure I didn't miss anything--it looked to me like a case saver came out (its an AH series type one)--but shop commented that they were "deep studded"--I hate to admit that I have no idea what he's talking about...help?

but a stud kit come with 9 long?

Nice. And yea the tool kit that came with the bug was 10 13 14 15

same thing in peugeot 206. I agree torsion bars do suck.

Thanks for the video. My hanger failed yesterday, ordered the parts, did this job today and am back on the road already.

Kinda duh?

thank u

Big help, thank you.

What did you use for the template? I'll be doing this on a 68 beetle im fixing up for my granddaughter. The door panels were missing when I bought it. Thanks, I subscribed to your channel, hope you make more videos.

For something like that, you should use rivnuts

VW torsion bars do not “suck”. It’s your lack of understanding that’s sucks.

Tip Three and Four: (3) Weld those holes up first so the new hanger is not in your way and (4) Install the bushing before you send the new hanger down the tunnel.😁

👍

I'm going to try to build one of those. 👍

Very good 😅

my collapsible shaft rusted through and snapped today while parking the car. The tow truck guy said "replace it with a pipe and weld it in", which didn't sound right to me. Took it to the Bug specialist, who's going to reweld the original pattern (you can't buy new ones any more in Turkey, where I am). A much better solution. So this video could have saved my life (if I hadn't gone with my gut anyway) during a crash.

Hi. I was just wondering if you know how to change the bearing in a collapsible steering shaft? Thanks.

I've used Loctite Extend since it was recommended to us in my auto body repair shop class in 1992. But now (2023) it is getting hard to find.

Hey man, I suppose I replyed in another vid but i would like to thank you from the bottom ofvmy heart for your short, to-the point vid on floor pans. I tore my knee apart and had a 6 month recovery and still couldn't do much after for months. I put the pans on my wifes 181/thing before but never put the body back on till a few weeks ago. Wanted to tell you it fit perfectly! I was scared to death something unforseen woupd happen and id have to get the body back up and tear the pans out! But your instruction was 100% perfect. Thank you sooo much. It turned out to be a stunning vw thing that the whole neighborhood breaks their necks to look at! Do you ever go to vw shows in TN by chance? Would love to get a chance to meet you. Ive got 3 more vw bug to do this to and now im confident because of you. Thanks again

Good stuff! Thank you!

looks like a framer gone bug guy.......im another air cooled carpenter

Sure was a pleasure meeting you and your Wife at Bugapalooza Brother Lamar..Good luck getting your Bug back on the road

Do you have videos on mounting the steering box on a narrowed beam and how to align the wheels?

Let us know how the new longer arm works

👍

👍

It was a pleasure getting to talk with you and your wife Lamar! Good luck!

Go to Harbor Freight and get yourself an angle finder for less than $5. You can then get the car totally level at zero degrees up on 4 Jack stands. Disassemble axle from spring plates, carefully wedge the plates off their stop and then measure the angle of both plates unloaded. They will likely not be at the same angle due to one of the torsion bars (more often drivers side) having lost some of its stiffness. Find the chart online for your year of car that tells you how many splines to move and in what direction to raise or lower.

Thanks for the video this is exactly what I was looking for !

I know it has been a while. but curious, how has it held up?

Hope to see you driving that beauty up at Bugapalooza this weekend!!

Really enjoyed the series. Would love to see you install that headliner piece.

total agreement front wheels free wheel might have to adjust tyre pressure accordingley to get deck level but part from that if you can save money all the better constant punctures in the garden cost

Good to know💯💪🏾

I dragged my cub out today and cleaned it up changed the oil and air filter and fuel filter…. Gotta sharpen the blades … It’s that time again brother…. We will be eating pollen in a few weeks aarrgghh…thanks for the tip!!!

Thanks for the video. I bought the loctite extend rust neutralizer for my pick up. It’s a 2016 and I just noticed little dots of rust on my hood. I probably have about 15 tiny dots that I believe is rust. Do you think I should sand them off before I spray on the loctite? I look forward to your response.

Thank You for the Tips on doing body to pan rubber --- will have to go back and watch more of your videos - Rodney

Is that mr bean it could be 😂😂😂

Did you make rear apron quick disconnect?

That's a good idea but it's b******* because if you got to change your heater channels everything is off anyway so bolts your new heater panels down to your new floors and then set the body on the Goddamn heater channels and then work our way that way that way you know you got it there's no way you're going to put new pants on Old rusted-out heater channels they go with the pants trust me if the pens are junk the heater channels are junk

Very nice job Brother Lamar!!!!

You should have installed vapor barriers, and clear coated the panels, to protect the panels from water damage.
