What year is this car? My first car was a 73 super Beetle which this car shows characteristics of yet also show that of a 74 as well. My car was also orange with black custom painted 8 spoke empi wheels as well as many other upgrades. This car reminds me of my car which I miss dearly. Enjoy yours My brother!
Strange. Mine had vertical grills on the lower front end and silver trim around the black grills behind the rear quarter windows. Your car would look killer with a 5 panel wink mirror and baby toranado side mirrors. I had them both and a two piece bra as well real black sheep skin seat covers.
My 1970 beetle caught fire high up in the WA state Cascade Mnts on a old logging road. While it was burning, I put my foot on the front dash for bracing and ripped out my tape deck which was installed in the glove box. Next we hustled our packs out of the back seat ( we were on a climbing trip) seconds later, the car was fully engulfed in a mushroom cloud fireball as the gas tank exploded. We hitchhiked home. The next weekend I drove up to see what was the left. The engine block was melted and window glass all melted. We rolled it off a cliff and and the insurance company didn't believe my story so they paid me off ( 1,100$ ) and then dropped me from the policy without explanation. Good times in 1978!!
Dude, love your videos, always a bit dramatic but fun as hell. Now regarding the new engine, congrats, it's amazing! May I ask you how much to rebuild it like that? Btw, keep posting the videos, you are really good at that!
Mad thanks! I was a theater kid after all 😅. So I can't garentee price obviously but I just had him build me the long block as I had everything else and that cost 5k. For some context just the parts for the long block is 3k hope that gives you some idea.

@@stevemcdowell1674 I shaved the front grill and the front turn signals for a more smooth look
