    With 56 years of vintage VW restoration behind me. An entire front beam replacement is easy enough. If you need a quality rust break use a 50/50 concentration of ATF and acetone.

    @johanneskohler3267 Год назад +7

    Next time you're cutting away rust, cut it all out, and don't overlap the new plate with rust still behind it. You always make the new plate match the hole you cut out, never do overlapping.

    I owned a Beetle many years ago. I knew they were in for rust hell before they bought it. They would have been better off removing the body, buying a good used / new frame and go from there. But, I know they don't have the time and money.

    After hearing all the hype about and love for the VW Beetle I eventually got to drive one. I thought it was horrible. Not only that but when I tried a Porsche it was horrible too, just a slightly squashed Beetle lol.

  • @ErikB750
    @ErikB750 Год назад +3

    I think they’ve never gone so wild shopping for shiny parts, to eventually mount on a rattle can painted rust bucket. What did the script writer expect to restore a cheap Beetle sitting in a grass field and turn it into an acceptable car for less than 1k ?!?
    If they would only do one job nicely from start to finish.

  • @Harrylechat01
    @Harrylechat01 Год назад +6

    If it was so close to being finished and road legal, why not just do a second week and try to double the money or better by finishing what you started? Plenty of one-off two-episode stories in other series.

  • @carlosalbertoguzman
    @carlosalbertoguzman Год назад

    Gastaron 430 dólares en pintar esas ruedas, demasiado dinero para un auto muy oxidado, hubieran empleado ese dinero en renovar todo el tren delantero con piezas totalmente nuevas, y que las ruedas las pinten ellos 👍
    Les faltó un poco de ideas en este proyecto, y un detalle muy importante:
    el guardabarros derecho delantero nunca lo repararon, ese guardabarros asustó a los compradores 😳

    Nothing on that Beetle that can't be fixed properly and relatively cheaply instead of being bodged up as these guys have done.
    They should have left it for somebody who actually knew what they were doing.

    • @mudemmeonick
      @mudemmeonick Год назад +3

      Yeah. These have been recommended a couple days ago. Seemed interesting. Have been giving the episodes a look. Sadly I'm concluding there's to much bodging. Not appealing at all. These two could have had something special only if they took a bit more care.

    Is this a comedy show, more British Humour ?
    I looked at the Triumph Spitfire episode
    700 to buy 200 in parts. Sold for 1800. , 850 profit
    What……… NO
    80 + workshop hours @ 50 per hour ( wages Rent expenses) = 4000. Net loss = 3100 a specialist should charge 75.
    The Alfa Romeo was the biggest joke on us 3000+ as parts on EBay or 4000 as a Touring car race replica plus cost & parts. Sent to crusher …..nett loss 3850 - 4850
    Fine comedy lads…..very subtle 😂

    Veo y reviso videos de este show y de otros elaborados en GB y no logro entender ¿por qué los británicos mantienen y conducen automóviles con los bajos completamente oxidados?, ¿es que no tienen garantías anti corrosión?? , ¿no preparan su vehículos para el clima de las islas?... Me parece que, aceptar que vehículos con poco kilometraje lleguen a estos estado de corrosión y destrucción, habla muy mal de la industria y el mercado automovilístico de UK.

  • @MalcolmLambe
    @MalcolmLambe 8 месяцев назад

    Ginger strikes again. It's 17,000, 903 and 6/10ths of a mile. Not 179k miles FFS. The clue is the last digit is red. Gee - what could that mean? And with that severe rust it's "Run away, run away!" Clueless bastards. That is a parts car, pure and simple. Ginger's right - it will never be a "Pwizewinner". God Almighty - those appalling seat covers. And in the end they lose 35 quid and a week's work. Talk about clueless. Front beams are available and dead easy to install. With MOT would have gone for much more.
