Looking Forward to the Hudson to Continue, but I’ve Got to Say I am quite intrigued with the RenoBug. Coming Together in a Holy Matrimonial Union to Last Many Moon’s after I am Dust. I’ll Catch You on the Next One, Keep It Safe Out There Sir
@@ratrodsafricaTesla Model 3 front motor in the rear, BMW hybrid batteries found under the back seat(11kw) add more as $ allows 40kw would be enough for 200 mile range... and a few other bits... :)
Div, your experience allows you to dive into the "reconstruction " with gusto; working out solutions as you go. I look forward to both projects moving to completion.
Man !! I hadn’t even noticed the music lol. I was in my own trance watching the magical craftsmanship and design created with such ease and superior editing. Love your channel Divieeee. Thx for having us along 👍🏻✌🏻
If the beetle drive train makes all the decisions, has ultimate control and is in charge, then clearly the beetle is the female 🤦🏼♂️😂😂😂 Loving this build! Lekka Boet - Michael Uk 🇬🇧
The Renault, she is the lady if you will, my departed wife called it riding the pony(bug) 🤣 Have a lekka one brother...oh nice that you have a nice pile of sawdust for the floor too
Diffy, you are an amazing man (SIR!). as if welding wasn't enuff, wood working too??, wow really great to watch you build the brackets to attach body to chassis, lakka, is an understatement really enjoyed this vid. great little ideas. Cheers
It's good to know which of your friends have what tools, and let your friends know what tools you have. Sharing tools and labor keep us all a good family of gearheads, splinterheads, and maker/creators !!!
Awesome evening brother from another country this is an awesome adventure as always you bring original professional experience to a new level awesome craftsmanship brother you are a magician brother the wife will be styling and profiling going to town grocery shopping another awesome adventure as always brother yall have a lekka one until the next episode of renobug
I've said it before, I follow a lot of builders but I must say, I absolutely love your craftsmanship! bravo mate! I can't wait to watch the next episode!
You’re a cool cat Duff! I appreciate your videos and can’t wait to see the next episode…… and don’t forget to call the “HYENA GUY” over to help, he’s a hoot to listen too! Lekka!
I love this build. It looks perfectly correct for a VW platform. Plus a four door. Nice! No you need to do your wife’s first. She supports your hobbies. Honor her, and paint it up. Really nice to make it a cool little car for her to drive.
Hallo Duff, hurra, it's wednesday! Your vrouw got "holding points" thatt will last forever. You take good care, nice. Learned s. th. again, hardboard template and cutting around it with the plasma. Nice machine to get the rust out of the edges. My dentist has nearly the same tool to prepare teeth before filling them, think his.isa little bbigger. Have fun and a good time, see you friday
The way you and your mate's help each other, aspecialy when it comes to expensive machinery, the Renault is coming along great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one
Boot and snout = snoot.everytime i watch a vid with the renno ,the banana splits theme song pops into my head.excellent work as per,Div..( The fabricating Wizard) Cheers.
I'm always impressed by how you put these different vehicles together and get such great results. I'm looking forward to watching the progress of all your projects!
I was interested in your Chevy truck build just to see someone do things differently but your fabrication skills and the way you explain your methods have me watching everything you do, love your craftsmanship and your patience to do things right, great work as always Dif
Div i think i got you nutted out mate...although im not sure of the percentages but you obviously love Rat Rodding BUT i feel you love using your machine shop as much ,or even moreso and your ability to use the shop effectively..but combine both and you truly are unique Sir and your builds are evidence of that..
Hey Div, glad to hear the Big Hud is coming back, I've just spent days having a "binge" of all your Hud build vids, such a technical smorgasbord, so compelling. And as for Wifey's Renobug, well 40 year ago we had a '69 Renault 10 sedan that was known as "Regina, "Regina Renault" had her for many years. Also owned, before that a '59 VW beetle sedan, I called "Wolfgang". I figure that the VW is the male and the Renault is "petite" little French girl, Regina Renault. Indeed they "eloped" and came to South Africa to be married, by none other than Pastor Div! Cheers mate.
Don't forget to smash that, 👍, Everyone.... It really helps ol Diff's channel... Thanks,,,, Why not go ahead and subscribe,, you know you like the channel.. hit that notification Bell.. you won't miss the next great episode.. A win win... 👍😎💯,, Ya don't wanna miss it,, ya just don't..
I would run a angled stiffener at the rear corner that connects the two plates and each side of the body together, but 4 mm thick. I would hold that back corner really stiff.
Really starting to look good there man .. liking the ideas on utilising the original vee dub mounts .nice short video but plenty of content . Have a great say Diff ..
Yeah cool getting your wife's car done It almost looks like a Volkswagen body That's going to be a really neat looking car. Great job Div so it's all 3 projects at once.? Your going to be eating that Elephant pretty fast lol 😊 Take care Brother.
@@ratrodsafrica I think we always have time we just try to get it done because we think we have to.I worked in construction for a long time and I'm guilty of the same thing but when I couldn't do the same thing anymore I slowed my pace and do things my way.
I bet you did terrific wood work! True artist. The car is going to be amazing. Bring on the Hudson. I remember the cars but never saw a truck. Great video Diff.
Hi Diff nice work ! Do you plan on putting at least one body mount centered on each side ? For added strength I'd consider it if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry !
Good progress. Cheers from the midwest US
Nice. You always keep it simple.
Happy Wife Happy Life
Renobugs coming together Div...well done
Enjoy looking over your shoulder
watching th work move forward 🖐️
We don't see enough of you ol' mate . . . easy to say I know
It all depends on what the car identifies as...it will probably move like a Beetle but without a bonnet. I dig the tunes.
Terrific body brackets, couldn't have been cleaner made and installed.👍
Awesome mounts Div Coming along Well and Wood working
👍🏻Nice job, you made that look like it was meant to be
The marriage looks like a match made in heaven. Great job.
Thanks Div!🍺
Your fabrication solutions are always very enjoyable Div. Best Wishes.
Love the progress on the Renobug Dif!

Very nice way of finding a solution to those problems, well done.
What you will do for love of your wife! Nice metal work. Have you thought what color your will paint the Reno-Bug?
She loves that yellow color!
Nice to see you’ve got a roller, I’m looking forward to seeing more on the Hudson.

Hey Diff! Wood floor boards!

Thanks 👍
The best of mates,,well mated
I'm always impressed by how you put these different vehicles together and get such great results. I'm looking forward to watching the progress of all your projects!

Thanks brother, I appreciate that!
Lekker man! Enjoyed it. Keep the videos and good work coming.
Diff you had me stress out for a moment thought you were going to make a renowoodybug 😅 lekka boet. Take care.
😂👍
Nice, get the renobug finished first, its so small and wifey will be so happy, save a fortune in Fuel too for parts runs etc.
Happy wife , happy life ! Diff . Hope she appreciates the work your putting in to Renvol .
That big ass planer is a great source of oil-absorbing sawdust and all you have to do is sweep it into a bucket
Yeah, I always keep a bag full for exactly that
Nice work as always, that sander makes more sawdust in 10 minutes than I'll ever make in my life! Glad the Hudson is coming back.
Thank You Diff! In the future could you show tips how you locate and trans the bolt holes from one piese to another, that would help me alot😂👍
Making a note of it!👍
Great to see you Boet and thank you for the update. Have a Lekka one 👍

😊 Thanks brother Don!
figured out a name for your creation RUG
Love it , awsome build
For me woodworking was first due to being easier to get started in but cars is my true calling.
I've always said that woodworkers always makes good metalworkers, but not the other way around...🙂
Diff the front of the Reneaux bug is neither a trunk or a hood. It should end up as a cooler box for the beers
Would be perfect for that! Not sure if the wife will agree with the plan though😅
Good job as always. The Hudson will be a change of pace!
Great job
I would run a angled stiffener at the rear corner that connects the two plates and each side of the body together, but 4 mm thick. I would hold that back corner really stiff.
Still planning to do some bracing underneath when the body is off again
I like your "bosses" little car, and I know you have to keep her happy, but I am glad to hear the Hudson is coming back ! Love that truck.
Its a dangerous balance...😅
Thank you for the content, Dif!!!! Keep it coming!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice video. I really enjoy watching the fabrication, and the music chosen.
Thank you very much!
One small bit at a time
Really starting to look good there man .. liking the ideas on utilising the original vee dub mounts .nice short video but plenty of content . Have a great say Diff ..
Thanks 👍
The Reno is the female - has the curves and is on top :) - great vids and music - > from Slummies
😂 Glad you enjoyed!
Like your work :)
Cool build
Lekker working
Always look forward to your videos and fabrication..
Yeah cool getting your wife's car done It almost looks like a Volkswagen body That's going to be a really neat looking car. Great job Div so it's all 3 projects at once.? Your going to be eating that Elephant pretty fast lol 😊 Take care Brother.
Too many projects, too little time! 😅

Thanks!
Hi Diff nice work ! Do you plan on putting at least one body mount centered on each side ? For added strength I'd consider it if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry !
2 in front, 2 in back. There is a strong substructure member in between, we will be good
Woopdeedoo!
👍
Looking good. Another great video 👍👍
Thanks 👍
happy wife happy life got to keep the boss sweet it s coming along nicely keep up the good work
You will have to remove body to work on the spring plate bushings but thats not too hard at all. Tough job on a stock beetle. Thank you
