    My gosh that house is absolutely majestic. Must be early 1900's. Some rich guy's home.
    Generations of people come and go through the decades. Guys like you help the air-cooled VWs go on forever.

    "And you may find yourself a blue Beetle to bring home. And you may find yourself in the bowels of an ancient barn. And you may find yourself chiseling into the frozen earth. And you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?!?!'"
    Jason, et al. thanks for the videos on this. I can't imagine the number of combined hours spent on unearthing that prize. Hopefully the other two Bugs at least provided some usable parts, too. Have a great weekend!

    Oh man, cobalt blue w white interior! My 1st 'vert was a '69 that had been abandoned in a field that color combo- after the wrangling to get it titled properly I did it back up in factory threads, down to the grey vinyl top. Lots of work but labor of love at 23 years old... and now at 52 I just brought home a project '78 and couldn't be happier ☀️🤠
    Thanks for the fun channel and hard work getting these cars out of the woodwork (quite literally this time!!!)

      🤣, I think it was already on the ground under the car in the barn . I saw it in the edit when we had the jack under the car. did Matt toss it back in or maybe there was a spare in the car ? No idea , too funny though when he claimed the trailer and it took thee light off lol.

  • @stephenricketts7764
    @stephenricketts7764 2 года назад +10

    Well it's been quite a journey with three installments just to get it out of there! Oh don't get me wrong I have enjoyed every minute and the helpful people that trusted you to succeed. On the other hand those people at the car wash really look forward to you coming and blocking their drains.😂 On first look though the bug seems pretty good, I know the others are not so good but the best out first. That bumper will straighten up no problem.😉 Thanks Jason, Matt and Udizzy for some great work and videos. Enjoy your weekend Jason.👍
