VW Beach Buggy Restoration PART 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2024
- Welcome to my brand new show called Restoration Roulette! In this show I have to fully restore a classic car and get it sold, there's a catch..... I don't know what car it's going to be and I only get a month to do it! Can it be one? What car am I going to get? Watch and find out. Spoiler it's a VW Beach Buggy
If you picked a classic car what would it be? Would you keep it standard or make it fast, loud and fun? Let me know in the comments.....
As always if you can leave a cheeky like and subscribe that would be mint!

It’s only going to be a 2 part video start to finish, just wanted to see if we could do this in just a month.
bike engine swap 🤞
Love watching all your videos, how a channel putting out all this quality content has less than 3,000 subscribers is beyond me.
Cheers buddy, hopefully I’ll get there in the end 👍
Quality content alright. I have been sharing with all the lads so they get some traction eventually.
@@Turb0esky I've personally watched and liked every single video trying to comment on them all too
I mentioned on a few FB pages as a hidden gem of a channel
I reckon a candy violet purple metalflake finish would look ace - perhaps with some shadowed stripes/detailing! Looking forward to the next installment - it's a good looking buggy. 🙂👌
Cheers buddy, brighter paint the better.
That look of fear when you realised how mangled the engine was. Definitely been there!!
Yer that sucked, glad it turned out ok in the end 👍
Think it needs the 70s heavy metal flake green 😋😎
Nice, love a bright green 👍👍
OMG I am gutted for you lads, but with your skill and craftmanship she will look amazing when you have her finished
🤞 will turn out great and on time 👍
70's style car needs a 70's style paint, Green is a good shout but I kind of like the original white with the red and blue stripe it reminds me of the Steve McQueen Gulf colours and everybody knows how cool that dude was. 😎😎😎
I know what you mean…. Nice!
Great idea for a series and kudos for going through with it. Looks like the seller shafted you but, on the bright side, you can do something about it; it could have been some poor noob buying it who would quickly get out of their depth.
Cheers buddy, yes hopefully we can work magic and make a bit of cash on it 👍
"Resale red" is always a smart choice for when the margins are tight...
So the classic candy over gold (or silver) metalic is better than the black.
Only exception might be if you were going for a more murdered out agro-buggy with black rims etc, then red over the black would make more sense.
But cheap n cheerful is prolly the way to go here! Good luck boys!
Cheering for ya!
Cheers buddy 👍👍
I can understand why the 2 previous buyers turned their back on it.
Talking about falsely advertising!
That thing, though cool from a distance, is completely knackered!
You've been taken hard!
Though the seller didn't know that, he has been very, very lucky that you made the rule that you *had* to buy it!
1500 max.
As in; absolute max.
But there you go, you had to live by your rules.
Kudos for sticking to that.
Cheers buddy, turned out mint in the end 👍
@@ODDAutos Just saw the second episode and yes it turned out mint.
I'm 15 minutes in the Mini (micro) camper
You two crack me up!
Subscribed!
Also looking forward to the Escort.
Just keep on smiling lads and putting the hard graft in and think what it will look like at the end
I'm sure from watching your other videos it will turn out to be a great bug
Looking forward to seeing it finished in a month
Cheers buddy, 🤞 we get it done on time.
Interesting project guys. I'd like to see it finished in mk1 escort, metallic purple!
Cheers buddy
Norfolk mustard yellow with black stripes Good Look Guys 👍
Cheers buddy
Keep it up. Great idea, shows the pitfalls of car restoration. Really nicely shot and edited. You guys are really engaging and show enough to understand what you are doing but not so much it becomes boring. Really good to see professionals at work.
Cheers buddy, hope we get it finished on time 👍
Brilliant concept and video guys, so well produced, keep up the great work!!
Thanks buddy, did the video/ editing myself. Slowly getting better at it 👍👍.
@@ODDAutos the production and editing is up there with the best I’ve seen, and I watch a lot!! 😂 really enjoyed both parts and the buggy turned out Awsome!! 👍
Ahh brilliant, that’s great to hear 👍👍
Sad about the engine, but now you can fit a better one. Love the candy red with the silver base coat. Can't wait for the next episode.
Cheers, yes I prefer the lighter candy 👍. Hopefully next vid real soon when the month is up.
Great idea with the roulette! However, shame you've bought something with a knackered engine.
How the seller complained of 'Time wasters' is a joke!
As for a colour, how about Burnt Orange with Purple flip..!?
Yes win some loose sum I suppose, hopefully make the money back at the end. Also hope the next roulette spin gives me a running car ha ha.
BMW viper green for me.
Cool! I do love a nice green
What about the new BMW m4 green...think its called signal green, i think it would look nice on this, can't wait to see the next part in the series, 👍👍👍
I’ll google it, I do love green too.
A nice bright yellow ( may be biased there) or Skoda Hyper Green, though the classic look would probably be a Cadbury purple full of metal flake, possibly with lots of stripes. Loving the new show, but looking forward to the next episode of the mk2
Brighter colour the better 👍👍. Cheers buddy.
I know the buggy has already been built.
But, NEON BLUE would have been my choice for color.
Really love the content. I love the restoration of the 60's 70s and 80s cars as those are the cars that were around when I was a child. If you could import these cars from South Africa, you would make a killing as compared to what they are going for in the UK, they are at least 75% cheaper here in SA. If you get them inland they are virtually rust free.
Keep up the good work!
Loving the idea of this!
I’d prefer the white tbh! Big chunky tyres !
It’s a shame the tyres on it were over 10 years old, otherwise I’d have used them.
@@ODDAutos it’s a shame you “had” to but it for the channel, has a business it’s a bad idea haha
Love the vids they are getting better and better now wth the new workshop
How’s the mk2 getting on
Hope it all comes right in the end? Cant wait , nice metallic blue colour
Hopefully get it all done on time 👍. Ooh I do love a nice bright blue.
Great video. Just shows you can't trust anyone when buying a car. The previous owner has just dumped a scrap engine in to make it look like a car. Really only worth about £500 to a grand.
True mate
Interesting concept a bit of different take on the will it run clones out there.
Man ya gotta love sellers like this.I could not live with myself if I sold a car in this shape.Maybe he didn't know the engine was toast/no clutch?
I'd like to see it in an Orange/Red like the first Meyers Manx.
How about nice blue
Top job lads like you show it as it is no BS
Like a light blue, I think with this the brighter the better. Gives it summer feelings.
Loads of metallic in it
This will be an awesome series 👍
But damn, I think you overpaid, but you will bring it together.
Candy red over silver
Yes was a bit too much, hopefully still make some money on it at the end 🤞
Well the seller was a bit of a p…k for shafting you like that! Great idea for a series but I reckon in future you should choose the rebuilds mate!😃👍😎
Love your vids guys. Keep them coming. What about a deep purple with some darker ghosting?
Nice like that idea 👍
Great video
No clutch.. awesome 🤩
nr 3 cylinder overheated and dropped an exhaust valve. it's re-buildable, but depends on the state of the block.
we need an electric peddle powered solar dune buggy camper with seats that fold down into a camp
Man would I love to have this
Good afternoon, I see you have a new hoist in your new shop. What brand and model is it and are you Happy with it. Do you like this new format of these type of cars to restore. I really enjoyed the metal cars and your repairs to them. Thanks and take care. Good luck in your new shop.
Hi there, same ramp as the last one but this one can lift 3500kgs instead of 3. Yes the ramps great cheers.
Cool video guys 🔧🔧🔧
I'm liking this it's bull shit free car building to a time scale and to a budget. If it goes over I'm sure you'd be honest about it. As for colours anything in deep metal flake on a buggy lol. Looking forward to part 2 and good work fellas.
Cheers buddy, hopefully get it done on time 🤞.
Brill, is that music ZZ top or just enough not to get a copy right strike lol loving going through your back catalogue cheers
Defo overpaid for a non runner, seller was laughing all the way to the bank after that sale. Looking forward to seeing if you straight swap or do something different
I know, was hoping to just pop a carb on it and fire it up. 😢
Hopefully you catch a break with the rest of the build
Needs a rothmans colour kit on it 😎😂
Might have some paint left from when we did yours lol.
The love beach buggy
Guys awesome car and also Nice series!!!
Thank you buddy 👍👍
Candy crabapple with metal flake
Like a bit of candy, definitely think that’s the way to go.
The end float was a bit more than 'not bad'!
Lemon! Good work though enjoyed the content.
Cheers buddy
I would get the body off and send it for paint now if your done with the body mock up as the mechanical bits are a refresh rather than a fab job hopefully. Also I would do the candy red over a silver base with big flake for a retro 70s vibe so it pops when the light hits it.
Yes the body is next door at my bodyshop and Keith’s going to start working his magic on it. Definitely go with the 70’s vibe, something mega bright 👍
@@ODDAutos someone said bmw Green which could be bright but they also done a turquoise which might work as its almost a flip paint from a blue hew to green
The look on your face when u saw the oil come out, thats a look too familiar.
This is why now i bring a compression tester when buying cars that are in this condition, and if the owner wont allow a test i simply move along to another car.
Yes was a great project to do though. Cheers hope you enjoy part 2 👍👍
Is that a "dual-port" engine? We had one in our '71 Microbus and it cracked the head of the #3 cylinder (left front, like yours) every 20,000 miles. We put on a bigger oil cooler, added larger cooling scoops to the body and changed the carb jetting. Nothing helped. Every 20,000 no matter how it was tuned or driven, the head cracked. Our Technical Editor (we worked for a magazine) said that just about all the early dual-port heads had that problem. It was assumed that it was caused by the #3 cyclinder which runs hotter than the rest and it having too thin a casting. Good luck with yours.
Love these videos!
Cheers buddy
The buggy seller was a Rob dogger, he knew how knackered it was. No clutch says he mocked it up to sell and deceive people.
Tamiya Sand Rover Orange!
Nice! 👍
whats happened with the mk2 escort?
Did the last vid about 3 weeks ago. More to come soon 👍
You got stung on that one but you 2 will sort it What about Baby blue or a green like ford peppermint sea green👍🏼👌🏼
I do like greens, I’ll have a look 👍.
@@ODDAutos i had my mk2 escort & 2 mk4 escorts in this colour
Beach buggies are a lot more expensive in UK compared to Sweden. I guess this one would have gone for max 1000 pund in Sweden.
I miss Keith. There should have been more videos of this kind
I know mate, at the time they just weren’t getting the views so the costs were too high. Think I spent £200k in 2021-22 on cars/ equipment and labour and RUclips paid me about £700 lol.
😍 Blurple
Ha ha like it 👍
Cage looks the part but why didn’t you fix the rear to the engine cage, bolted to the body gives no strength like you said in video and looks messy. Also the bracing makes rear seat redundant, wouldn’t need bracing if fixed to engine cage?
It’s sits really nice that though, looking forward to finish article 👍🏻
It’s braced up from the engine on the underside to where the cage fits at the rear. Also put a bar left to right at the back on the underside above the engine to make it proper solid. Didn’t want back seats, less people to get in and scratch the paint lol.
👍🏻
So how is your rear cage better than the original. It's still bottled to the fibreglass. Same death trap.
It bolts through to another roll cage bar that comes up either side on the engine to meet them.
Is that a Myers Manx body?
That ebay seller sells bent? v5 buggies He buys parts and biulds a buggy like you got and then sells them off all ways with beetle on the v5 that is no good for a swb buggy Did you check the vin that it was not welded in or restamped?
Whats happening with the mk2 escort hope you've not given up on it
Did a video on it a few weeks back.
Doner car needed or a vw hoarder lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌
The crank end float is WAY too much, Should barely move, The motor is screwed on that basis alone!
Played like a fiddle. At least now you know why the other 2 walked now.
What about pink? That's what the DVLA thinks it is already...
I know, rubbing back the multiple layers of paint from the body and the only colour that’s not on it is pink lol.
You shouldn't have paid more than 1000 pounds for that. I can find running, driving ones in my country for about 500 pounds.
So you got ripped off by a right plonka
It wasn’t too bad, managed to pull it off in the end. Suppose there more new stuff on it now that won’t go wrong…. Well hopefully 🤣
Thanks for the reply, it ended up being an awesome restoration guy’s
