Hi Everyone! This week I'm headed over to Jim's to have a look at Lindsay's 1961 Volkswagen Beetle project, and we'll check out Agent 4261's 1983 Chevy Impala that he's been driving for 18 years! More work on the 1960 Plymouth Fury interior, and of course Frankers is helping! Laura has decided on a colour for the Rover, but not before it gets some attention to the panel fit and more welding! Thanks also to everyone who subscribed to our channel here, and thanks also for all of your "likes" and comments! If you would like to help keep our channel going, you can get a sticker, hat or a coffee mug at: www.coldwarmotors.com Or, please feel free to check out our Patreon page at : www.Patreon.com/coldwarmotors where we have extra videos and pictures and a bunch of people hanging out and bs-ing about cars!
Dear Christoppher F. 👍👌👏 Definitely! You are absolutely right. I mentioned that already often before. Unfortunately and in general destroying things without purpose/necessarity attracts way, way more viewers than repairing/restoring old stuff... even if a big black Poodle is helping. A bunch of morons "earn" a lot of clicks doing really dumb things and the smart/clever and responsible acting guys usually don't... Sigh. ;-) Best regards, luck and health.
The only bad part of watching the latest episode of CWM is knowing that I now have to wait seven more days for the next chapter. I saw the dedication to Stella and thought to myself that it couldn’t possibly be three years since she went to her reward. She too loved the CWM collection. Time has a way of just flying by. ❤️☮️
@@spiritusmalingus343 i swear I do the same exact thing too!!! I was so heartbroken when she left,and then miraculously Frankers pups right up with Stellas blessings!
Some husbands have wives who question the reason why they love old cars. It's nice to see a wife who understands it, but also embraces it and wants to be a part of it. Congrats Jim and Lindsey!
@PdrMarc I like most cars of that era. Comfortable and nice ride, lots of room inside! As a mechanic I made a good portion of my living replacing camshafts on those old girls for a lot of years. I must have done 30 or more of those old 305s and 350s.
@@wysetech2000 Yep, had the 305 in my '78 Chevy Nova 2 door, bought it used in 1985 and that fall, I think it was, the cam shaft went. Supposedly, it had 50K on it, but it could have had 150K on it, but I suspect they go every 50K miles and one morning, bam, bam, bam, it knocked and bucked getting on the freeway when trying to get to work. A mechanic had to replace that camshaft and from what he said they lack oil pressure where the cam is, hence they go on the regular. Great handling car, but a POS otherwise.
@@johnhpalmer6098 There were lots of theories on why they had camshaft problems but I never saw anything with absolute proof. Too bad because the rest of the engine was solid. I never saw a second failure on any of the ones I replaced but I always used an "after market " cam in them. Idling for too long in cold weather was suspect.
My 2nd car I ever owned was a 78 Impala. Loved that car. It was my Grandfather's car originally. I ended up trading it in on my 1st brand new car at the time. If I could go back in time, I probably would have fixed the engine and kept it. Life lessons learned.
This weeks vid (in the U.K.) was preceded by 2 advertisements; the first was for an electric car the second was for men’s fashion. Those advertising guys really know their target audience.
Thanks Scott and crew for my weekly therapy session. Every Saturday now I can enjoy a bunch of fellow car nuts and see the humor and good chemistry between them and also see people that are as wacky as me. This is a real reality show I don't think anything is scripted just Scotts ideas and the working on cars to carry the story line and characters along. This is Canadian content through and through nice to see fans from US and all over the world commenting. This Cold War Motors world takes me away from the Bullshit Covid world we are all dealing with. Don't change anything Scott and thanks again!
Scott, the showing of the Rover fitment was just great! What a thought process! The Chevy, Beetle and other cars shown were terrific to watch also. You did a great job on the door panel and are making a great salute to the cars of the 60's. Thanks for sharing, and keeping "the FRANKERS" feet warm. Stay well! Rich
I have to think of my grandma when I see this beetle. She had one of those old ones. In the same color. Must have been more or less of the same year. I remember the Wolfsburg wolf! My blind grandpa bought the car without her knowing about it and forced her to learn how to drive. She was the champion in burning up clutches: She used to push the gaspedal down to the floor and started lifting the clutch slowly after that! It was terrible and entertaining at the same time!
That 61 Beetle is nice. Jim is so good at slipping in the zingers, you could miss them if you are not paying attention. I like how he bashed those damned Beetle flippers - it's a bug eat bug world.
Very glad the Rover will be dark green, there's just not enough green cars in the world; the colour on Laura's 'phone will be perfect for this extremely elegant car.
Cats, dogs, plaids, sculpting, pilsner, awesome CWM Winter installment, that those interesting temperatures even exist, man, so lots of fun, thank you 👍
A man of so many projects will keep being a good husband for a while I reckon, no time to go anywhere else than welding equipment shops, auto part shops and places with wrecked cars to find moe goodies for the projects .... .
The pains you and Al went to fitting the doors on the Rover! Sweet VW. Lindsey, all that one-year-only, one-color-only specialness dictates that history over rules lime green. Dry your little eyes and embrace the magic that is turquoise. Scott, come and get your weather. Going down to 5F here in Dallas and my palm trees think they're in hell. Thank you. Great episode, as per usual when Frankers is so helpful.
Wipe out intro! I'm not a Vorkswagen guy, but I'm glad Jim and Lindsey are. Dark green will look good on the Rover. Expert wheel well trim replacement. More Fury, the highlight of my week!
"I have to turn the HEATER FAN off, so it'll go up the hill faster"....Priceless!! you had a 'spaceship' in your driveway, you called it a 'volvo'...so out of place in your yard buddy.. BTW, -18 today, that was the high, -30 at night in Northern Minnesota..but after about -10, it's just freaking COLD and we just stop counting..Love you guys. stay warm...
-39!? that temperature is incomprehensible to me, and about 63 degrees colder than here! I was in Paris in Feb 2013. Waiting for the lift to the top of the Eiffel tower, it's about -3C, 50 km/hr wind blowing. Everybody in the queue is rugged up, one young woman had her head so deep in the hood of her parka she looked like Kenny from South Park. Except one guy. In a t-shirt. The legend on the shirt? CANADA! You guys are tough!
John Molloy You know it's cold when the snow squeaks when you walk on it! The worst part is that you can get frost bite very easily. That's why Scott put booties on Frankers.
Love this video!! VW's, garage cats, The Menace being.. Well, The Menace, love the door panel work around, and FF>> working on the Rover. The dark green I think is a great choice.. Nice work, stay warm!!
I had a 1960 bug, I loved it, I had to fab a nose cone mount to use a non crash box trans, you can get new gas reserve pet cocks, the heater worked really good, you turn the knob, it pulls the cable on both heater boxes at the same time, it comes out the floor vents at first, the more you turn it makes it also come out the defroster vents, which are all metal and work good
Man we love your show and our household wouldn't miss an episode you have some very cool cars. Trying to spread the word and we probably wouldn't watch if Tom wasn't also on the show he is hysterical. love you all.
Love seeing Jim's VW exploits/projects. I'm so grateful to be away from the wide spread "rust belt". Too many memories growing up in Western PA, and in NE Ohio in college. When I see a vehicle around Eastern/Southern Colorado with rampant rust and "weight reduction holes" it's most often someone, usually military persons transferred from military bases elsewhere getting to enjoy Colorado's dry and fairly nominal rust issues. I admire all of you and your craftmanship abilities to cut out and replace the rust devastation you've come across in your projects. Your videos are always the high point of my week, getting to hang out at least digitally with likeminded old car lovers! 😉🙂👍
I think Lindsey's beetle should go back to 100% stock. That color combination and one year only option should make it really rare. Jim would know how rare. Plus it is a great girly color. It is soooo sweet cant wait till its done!
Another great video. Lots of cool projects on the go. Looking forward to the progress on the Rover. Jim's doing good on the old Cat, nice beetle too. Cheers to you, Frankers and the crew. Sure had a good laugh at her in the seatbelt.
*MINI-FRANKERS!* Sorry, rough week here, but grace Of God, I'm in attendance this morning... Ok: Subject #1: Frankers! It's a good thing she is benevolent - a force of nature *that* powerful, if it were to fall into more nefarious hands, could wreak havoc on civilization in short order, after all... Scott is doing all humanity a huge favor by providing that little bit of foam for her amusement, seems like! Subject #2: All the positive waves, man: One of the biggest reasons I've stuck with CWM videos all these years, aside from the typical rapier wit in ample supply, is simply all the positivity on display. The visit with Jim is a good example of this - that dude is not only razor sharp and quick, but his great attitude in the face of what appears to be huge amounts of laborious, monotonous tasks is so inspiring. It's easy to see why he's buds with Scott, our own "can do" guy. In a world full of negativity and half-wits, this sort of thing cannot be overstated! Finally, Subject #3: SUPPORT CWM! Ok, y'all - get to supportin' the cause here and go sign up for Patreon to help CWM moving forward (if you haven't already, of course) - or if nothing else, at least give all the CWM back catalog a gander and spread the thumbs ups. It does matter! Here 'til they measure me for the pine tuxedo, -Ed on the Ridge
When I worked at the dealer, we called the attaching screws "Waps"-because the package abbreviation for "with attaching parts" was "Waps". Cheers, Scott and Agents!
UK MOANING about -2 we are so weak -20 in Canada where real mad men live Rovers coming along a treat you are doing it proud Another cracking episode many thanks for more great viewing pleasure
The Queens P5 is a standard Rover colour called Arden Green used on the P5 range from 1965 - 1973. Hope this helps if you want to use a standard Rover colour.
Really nice way to finish off that door panel. Looks really good. 👍 I also can't believe it's been three years since Stella passed. Where does the time go when you get older? 🤔
I hope you all have better weather than we are getting in Regina ...... blistering cold this past week take care of the doggies .......stay safe there that Impala is a beauty !!!!....... almost too nice for a winter beater
Always a treat to see what Jim’s up to in his shop. The Rover is looking great, and the dark green will look perfect. Stay warm, it’s in the minus 20’s for us, you’ve got it much worse! Cheers, Paul.
Maybe the colour your sister is after is Rover "Arden Green", It's dark and does look almost black in some lights. I'd have gone for Burnt Grey with Red Interior, but both would be very tasteful. Along with a lot of other people I think this is the best You Tube channel by far. Great work.
Shout out to the '73 impala. Drove a '72 for years. Dependable smooth ride. Scott the 5 weirdly suits you and frankers. Couple freaks out for chips❗ Laura perfect choice of green ✔ Jim. Oh Jim you are the tinker and so much more. Lindsey the '61 bug is perfect. We'll once it's lime green. Jim BREATH Deep. Scott the Fury project drew me to your channel. Everything you guys do keeps me a fan. Stella we miss you. Frankers we love you too. Cheers 🍺
The Rover is going to look great in dark green! The procedure for starting Al's nissan is a little less dramatic than what we saw in the Mini cold start video a few years ago haha.
58-61 beetles have some crazy color combos and distinct parts. Pretty sure that steering wheel/shifter/column/brake handle color is called hydrate green. A friend in Spokane has been collecting that stuff for years. He might have some to share if you want to go that way. Nice to see another old beetle being saved. My daughter's maroon 74 standard sitting in the driveway is much less interesting than your Turquoise 61.
I have to admit, it feels good to share a little hard earned automobile knowledge on this channel. Hearing you guys talk about Plodges, Citroens, and any number of cold war relics with seemingly deep understanding is a bit overwhelming at times. We all know what makes them tick, but the idiosyncrasies and intricate tidbits are what separate the pilsner drinkers from the boys. When all of this CVDBS finally passes us by, I might need to fire up the R90 for a cruise to Edmonton. Never been further than the Saddledome (for a Flames VS Wild game), but I can see my horizons expanding. But for now, I am babysitting frozen pipes, single digit temps, 30 MPH winds, and my second screwdriver. Summer is for traveling North, and I'm already North of most.
That VW brought mede me recall the 1961 bug I purchased in 1969 with a blown engine (that was the first year for the 40 HP motor upgrade, and there were problems with its reliability, in contrast with the prior tried and true 36 HP). Was able to find a 50 HP 1965 bus motor, and that 20% power upgrade allowed it to reach 80 MPH, but it felt like the front end was trying to lift off the road at that speed. Replaced the no gauge/reserve gas tank with a newer one that had a float gauge with the dash panel in the same color that fit in perfectly. The only rust on that car was around the rear bumper brackets, so I took it off, reversed the rear wheel rims and thought it looked cool with the single bus exhaust tail pipe hanging out the back. That car originally came with heater boxes around the exhaust pipes, which could give you carbon monoxide poisoning if the pipes rusted through. The bus motor had the heat exchangers which eliminated that problem, though. Thanks for the memories!
This has got to be by far one of the best channel's on RUclips, excellent content, plus nice genuine down to earth people, and of course not forgetting frankers.
That Impala is well worth a like and obviously the agent that owns it has a fond spot for it after 18 years! Great car. Nice to see the R5 giving good service as well. Rover will look classy in a dark green, with tan interior. It was a popular colour back in the day. Great viewing as always and the highlight of the RUclips week! Best wishes from the UK
Guten tight! Night time in Jim's and Lindsay's garage seem like utopia. Green is the way to go on the P5! (I got my '63 Fender Precision refinished in dark BRG last year, that's the stuff!)
Being a "Bug" freak I'm going to love this project. I had '60 bug for a number of years in Germany. I loved it because when it came time to do anything on the engine it took only a few minutes to pull the engine and mount it on my engine stand which was an old Trans axle mounted to a 2X4 stand . Didn't take anytime to change a clutch, run the values or even to tear it down to the block. I could rebuild the entire engine over a weekend, pre run it on my "stand" and slide it back in. The hardest thing was refitting the tin. Beat the heck out of the 850 Fiat that for some reason kept blowing head gaskets. That is until one day I towed it out to the junk yard and personally pushed the button sending it on it's way through the crusher and onto its becoming new beer cans.
Very nice episode today, heck I even watched it before the sun went down!! Does a soul good to see all of these automotive projects underway Keep on keeping on
Nice to see Jim with another great vw project, be cool to see get a peek at his other ones ? That’s the most we have heard from Dave ! Normally chilling in the background with a beer 😎 I am sure the fury door panels will look great once in situ and fully finished. Did anyone spot Frankers at 48.01 ? She was half black and half white as she walked past camera 😂 😂 Good work on the Rover , lots of fiddly fettling ! Nice to mention Stella in the credits Scott 👍🏻
'61 VW was my first car. Bought it in 1970 for $180. Had to rebuild the motor within a few months but that turned out well. Painted it '69 Dodge FireFrost Blue. Never got stuck in snow no matter how deep. Froze my ass off. Had to scrape the inside of the windshield. Sold it and bought a '55 Buick out of a field for $50 and drove that for a year. It had two heater cores..one under the dash and one under the front seat. Luxury.
Love the Impala, the '61 Beetle takes me back some fifty years when my sister had a '60.sunroof model,Dad bought it in rough shape for $100 in November of 1970 and spent the winter and part of the next spring getting it ready for her.
Great trick for wheel wheel moulding screw removal! Lindsay’s bug is cool! Rover coming but looks like fit is lots of behind the scenes work! The dk green is going to be beautiful! My dog needs boots like Frankers! Another great video Scott!
Hard to believe how many vehicles are now rare. I remember playing punch bug as a kid and you could end up with a dead arm on a cross city commute. Thx for making even regular maintenance and cosmetics an intriguing view.

i had a 62 beetle a while back. if you can get ahold of a catalogue or two, you will find EVERYTHING for beetles
Get your sister to look up "top gear ,Queen Elizabeths Rover " on youtube

So underrated.
It's crazy, all the channels I watch are either within 100 miles of here in Kansas, or all the way in Canada LOL
Mr. Goodpliers crazy to think that all the channels I watch is across the Atlantic Ocean over in USA an Canada. (I'm from Sweden)
Jim seems like such a nice fellow, but a video without Dean always leaves me wanting more. Ha ha. Another great show from our neighbors to the north.

It's fine because she's cute 😍
Love the intro this week, start off with a laugh. The music made it work 👍
Jim is sure juggling a handful of projects that should keep him busy and broke for a while LOL!!
A man of so many projects will keep being a good husband for a while I reckon, no time to go anywhere else than welding equipment shops, auto part shops and places with wrecked cars to find moe goodies for the projects .... .
Wow, flash back to my youth. The fun of removing rotted wheel mouldings. Thanks for the memory, kinda
Suggestion, when you hand over the keys to the finished Rover, put a sticker on it that says "I'd rather drive a Renault"...
That's funny! :D
... anyway. Both the "No 5" car .....
👍 Jim has enough work to keep him busy. Looking forward to next weeks show.
The Rover is going to look so good in the dark brit green .... cant wait .

*MINI-FRANKERS!*
Sorry, rough week here, but grace Of God, I'm in attendance this morning... Ok:
Subject #1: Frankers!
It's a good thing she is benevolent - a force of nature *that* powerful, if it were to fall
into more nefarious hands, could wreak havoc on civilization in short order, after all...
Scott is doing all humanity a huge favor by providing that little bit of foam for her
amusement, seems like!
Subject #2: All the positive waves, man:
One of the biggest reasons I've stuck with CWM videos all these years, aside from
the typical rapier wit in ample supply, is simply all the positivity on display.
The visit with Jim is a good example of this - that dude is not only razor sharp and
quick, but his great attitude in the face of what appears to be huge amounts of laborious,
monotonous tasks is so inspiring. It's easy to see why he's buds with Scott, our own
"can do" guy.

Got the same weather here in Poland, but not the cars!
Here’s me struggling with one old car and that Jim’s got 3 on the go . Great content as always !
When I worked at the dealer, we called the attaching screws "Waps"-because the package abbreviation for "with attaching parts" was "Waps". Cheers, Scott and Agents!
That beginning dive bomb 💣 Riff was sweet

Another cracking episode many thanks for more great viewing pleasure
Just to let you all know. I follow a few people on You Tube, you guys are THE BEST. of all I follow....... Stay warm....
The Queen cleaning her green Rover, that was a terrific visual!
I think 91 was the last year for the Grand Wagoneer. I'm so HAPPY you got that. I didn't think he'd sell it. There such a classy vehicle.
awesome video scott and agents jims will need to start a vw museum
The Queens P5 is a standard Rover colour called Arden Green used on the P5 range from 1965 - 1973. Hope this helps if you want to use a standard Rover colour.
Thanks! I'll check it out! Cheers from here...
@@coldwarmotors You're Welcome
Who knew that Al was the Rover whisperer ?
That chopper on his face isn't just for getting pussy you know.
Really nice way to finish off that door panel. Looks really good. 👍
I also can't believe it's been three years since Stella passed. Where does the time go when you get older? 🤔
Jim's got the old Saskatchewan champagne flowing there (Pill). Love that old Beetle. Great way to separate your money from your wallet lmao :)
I hope you all have better weather than we are getting in Regina ...... blistering cold this past week
take care of the doggies .......stay safe there
that Impala is a beauty !!!!....... almost too nice for a winter beater
Taking off that wheel opening molding brings back memories. You are taking out the screws exactly like I did 40 years ago.
Every time Jim buys a VW, an angel get's it's wings. lol
That's a great start to Sunday morning in New Zealand. Fantastic tweaking on the Rover! Will make all the difference when it is painted.
Always a treat to see what Jim’s up to in his shop. The Rover is looking great, and the dark green will look perfect. Stay warm, it’s in the minus 20’s for us, you’ve got it much worse! Cheers, Paul.
Maybe the colour your sister is after is Rover "Arden Green", It's dark and does look almost black in some lights. I'd have gone for Burnt Grey with Red Interior, but both would be very tasteful. Along with a lot of other people I think this is the best You Tube channel by far. Great work.
I had the 1986 Caprice interceptor state trooper patrol car with 87 thousand miles on it! It flew and handled like it was on rails! Lol!
"Oh you even got the screws"... -39 degrees, I'll say!
Great intro Scott !! I burst out laughing !! Loved the guitar work !! The winter didn't slow you and your crew's projects down much ! Happy 50k !!!
Shout out to the '73 impala. Drove a '72 for years. Dependable smooth ride.
Scott the 5 weirdly suits you and frankers. Couple freaks out for chips❗
Laura perfect choice of green ✔
Jim. Oh Jim you are the tinker and so much more.
Lindsey the '61 bug is perfect. We'll once it's lime green. Jim BREATH Deep.
Scott the Fury project drew me to your channel. Everything you guys do keeps me a fan.
Stella we miss you.
Frankers we love you too.
Cheers 🍺
And Jim strikes again. What a rare Beetle beauty! The kind of car you need when it is -39. But please don't mess with the color!
Love the shows.Wish I could be more than patreonizing,but I'm centsless.See you all next week.
That squeaking super cold snow brings back memories of Minnesota and working on cars with frozen hands, no more - happy in Florida.
I like her idea of a really dark green. Sounds like a perfect color .
That fury is going to look as good on the inside as it does on the outside.
The Rover is going to look great in dark green! The procedure for starting Al's nissan is a little less dramatic than what we saw in the Mini cold start video a few years ago haha.
does my heart ❤️ good to see the VW. this is my favorite all time car.
Another great show, the Rover coming together nicely, looking forward to see the Fury completed, it will be an awesome car, thank you.
Poor Scott looks down when he hears the fabric-tearing sound,...:Hey Frankers! I was gonna use that!"
The Rover is classic British car making. 1 part craftsmanship, 4 parts tea break. Great show.
58-61 beetles have some crazy color combos and distinct parts. Pretty sure that steering wheel/shifter/column/brake handle color is called hydrate green. A friend in Spokane has been collecting that stuff for years. He might have some to share if you want to go that way.
Nice to see another old beetle being saved. My daughter's maroon 74 standard sitting in the driveway is much less interesting than your Turquoise 61.
I have to admit, it feels good to share a little hard earned automobile knowledge on this channel. Hearing you guys talk about Plodges, Citroens, and any number of cold war relics with seemingly deep understanding is a bit overwhelming at times. We all know what makes them tick, but the idiosyncrasies and intricate tidbits are what separate the pilsner drinkers from the boys.
When all of this CVDBS finally passes us by, I might need to fire up the R90 for a cruise to Edmonton. Never been further than the Saddledome (for a Flames VS Wild game), but I can see my horizons expanding. But for now, I am babysitting frozen pipes, single digit temps, 30 MPH winds, and my second screwdriver. Summer is for traveling North, and I'm already North of most.
Here is my like for Dave's chrome wheel arch!
Wow a Rover with doors and pillars that actually fit!
That VW brought mede me recall the 1961 bug I purchased in 1969 with a blown engine (that was the first year for the 40 HP motor upgrade, and there were problems with its reliability, in contrast with the prior tried and true 36 HP). Was able to find a 50 HP 1965 bus motor, and that 20% power upgrade allowed it to reach 80 MPH, but it felt like the front end was trying to lift off the road at that speed. Replaced the no gauge/reserve gas tank with a newer one that had a float gauge with the dash panel in the same color that fit in perfectly. The only rust on that car was around the rear bumper brackets, so I took it off, reversed the rear wheel rims and thought it looked cool with the single bus exhaust tail pipe hanging out the back. That car originally came with heater boxes around the exhaust pipes, which could give you carbon monoxide poisoning if the pipes rusted through. The bus motor had the heat exchangers which eliminated that problem, though. Thanks for the memories!
The Rover Owners Assn. would be unhappy with your door alignment. Points off for better than factory alignment.
This has got to be by far one of the best channel's on RUclips, excellent content, plus nice genuine down to earth people, and of course not forgetting frankers.
That Impala is well worth a like and obviously the agent that owns it has a fond spot for it after 18 years! Great car. Nice to see the R5 giving good service as well. Rover will look classy in a dark green, with tan interior. It was a popular colour back in the day. Great viewing as always and the highlight of the RUclips week! Best wishes from the UK
I like that this channel encourages me to buy more junk when I already own 13 vehicles
I don't know how y'all stand that kind of cold, I guess that's why you've turned some of it loose on us! Keep up the good work. Thanks, from Georgia
Guten tight! Night time in Jim's and Lindsay's garage seem like utopia. Green is the way to go on the P5! (I got my '63 Fender Precision refinished in dark BRG last year, that's the stuff!)
Love the old impalas
Being a "Bug" freak I'm going to love this project. I had '60 bug for a number of years in Germany. I loved it because when it came time to do anything on the engine it took only a few minutes to pull the engine and mount it on my engine stand which was an old Trans axle mounted to a 2X4 stand . Didn't take anytime to change a clutch, run the values or even to tear it down to the block. I could rebuild the entire engine over a weekend, pre run it on my "stand" and slide it back in. The hardest thing was refitting the tin. Beat the heck out of the 850 Fiat that for some reason kept blowing head gaskets. That is until one day I towed it out to the junk yard and personally pushed the button sending it on it's way through the crusher and onto its becoming new beer cans.
Very nice episode today, heck I even watched it before the sun went down!!
Does a soul good to see all of these automotive projects underway
Keep on keeping on
Im sooo happy hes bringing the Bug back to life! Used to see them everywhere! Now nothin! I guess rust got alot of them.
Good show this week. Thumbs up. Jim needs his own channel! Thanks.
Nice to see Jim with another great vw project, be cool to see get a peek at his other ones ?
That’s the most we have heard from Dave ! Normally chilling in the background with a beer 😎
I am sure the fury door panels will look great once in situ and fully finished.
Did anyone spot Frankers at 48.01 ? She was half black and half white as she walked past camera 😂 😂
Good work on the Rover , lots of fiddly fettling !
Nice to mention Stella in the credits Scott 👍🏻
'61 VW was my first car. Bought it in 1970 for $180. Had to rebuild the motor within a few months but that turned out well. Painted it '69 Dodge FireFrost Blue. Never got stuck in snow no matter how deep. Froze my ass off. Had to scrape the inside of the windshield. Sold it and bought a '55 Buick out of a field for $50 and drove that for a year. It had two heater cores..one under the dash and one under the front seat. Luxury.
Love the Impala, the '61 Beetle takes me back some fifty years when my sister had a '60.sunroof model,Dad bought it in rough shape for $100 in November of 1970 and spent the winter and part of the next spring getting it ready for her.
Great trick for wheel wheel moulding screw removal! Lindsay’s bug is cool! Rover coming but looks like fit is lots of behind the scenes work! The dk green is going to be beautiful! My dog needs boots like Frankers! Another great video Scott!
The luckiest old beetle just got its second birthday. Another great episode. Love me some C.W.M.👍
Hard to believe how many vehicles are now rare. I remember playing punch bug as a kid and you could end up with a dead arm on a cross city commute. Thx for making even regular maintenance and cosmetics an intriguing view.
