I wish to thank you for taking a lost, little car that nobody wanted anymore; rescuing it; putting much love, sweat, and tears into this sweet, quiet car; giving it a home, and a new purpose in life. It shows just how creative, caring, and stylish you are for bringing this car back from the dead...so to speak. You've done an amazing job on this neat little car!! Keep it safe. All I'd like to do with this cute little car, is run up and give it a huge hug.....
Superb workmanship ..,It's nice to see they heater channel outlets not covered up with carpet always a sign of a quality restoration and one of the first things I look for. It's easy to see this was a labor of love for old Beetles : )
Wish I had another ... My first car was a 1966 Volkswagon 1300 cc with an Abersparker Gas heater ...6 volt ....Such a cool car This one is fab and done so nice
Great Job- It is set up so nice. If you change the engine out -keep you old one and do not sell any org. parts. Hang on to everything. Having org.parts with your bug is like money in the bank- only better. I wish it was my bug. Great color
You did a great and responsible job with that car. Only change I would make is to raise the front and lower the back so they're even but that's just my preference. Love the last year of the original bug, 66, with metal sunroof and pop out side, air-conditioning, windows!

@aloano - I bought the interior from Wolfsburg West. I do not remember the price but you can go to their website and it lists all the pricing. Thanx for the comment, as of yesterday I got my 1915 motor installed. Hope to be able to drive it again any day now. Congratulations on your new bug, that is awesome and Java Green is a great color :-)
@lboftheyear - It took me about 20-months to do the entire restore. I did all the work myself. The pans were in good shape, had to replace the front driver pan quarter, but everything else was good. Just installed a 1915 motor and it runs great. Thanx.....
1:32 Make sure your boots have the seam at 3 O'clock facing the rear with sealant in the seam. There is no flex in the seam. VW owners manual. For your viewers. Great job!
well done, the body seemed really solid.. wish i could find a car like that in Finland.. my 66` had some serious issues with rust and a lot of velding had to be done. anyway NICE!!
@FishSticksRGud - Wow, thanx man. Look forward to seeing some pics of your 66' I am working on my 63 now and trying to get my bad ass 1915 motor ready for my 66 for the spring.
1964 Cool. I also have a 63 that I'm working on, more for just a driver. Just so you know, my green 66' was the first time I have ever done anything like that before. I did the whole car myself. So if I can do it, I'm sure you can also :-)
I just worked with my "Mazda 323F" ("bg" body from 1991). Now I know - restoration is not so easy as it is on Discovery chanel ) But it is realy interesting. And you are right - if you just made one car, you will need and feeling to restore more cars!
@mowie1236 It's called Fat Mat. It's a sound deadening material. Helps with road noise, engine noise and heat. I am glad I did it. I would do it again in a heart beat. Well worth it. Makes the doors sound solid when you close them.
Nice video! Great job man! I have one waiting to be restored... I don’t have much mechanical experience, thinking to do striping and then to give to proper mechanics to do body work and engine rebuilt, electric etc. Assembly do on my own to save some money for fuel ;) and have fun an my handwork on my lovely beetle.
The motor that came in the car that I used for about two tears was a 1500 single port. It now sports a built 1915 with dual webbers. Gene Berg heads, DPR crank and H-beam rods...
@squareyes1981 - WOW, thanx a lot. I love this car, its been a lot of fun. Now it has a built 1915 and is even more fun then before...... Hope you build your bug one day...
@Thesuperdrummer93 - both wheels are set the same. the earlier pics are without the motor. The later pics are after the rear was lowered. There is a little camber in both wheels, the price you pay to lower a car. My car sets perfect for me and drives awesome. The new 1915 is a blast with plenty of power.
@WernerRobin - Translation -- Very interesting is the photo at 9:24. It shows the successor model VW 1300 and 1500 (light blue). which was constructed on 01/08/1966. 1300 cc 40 hp, 1500 cc 44 hp. Note the rear bumper bar American. Since there were several variants namely!
@66GreenBug Think I will be getting a 67 this weekend. $1,400 and in 80% condition. Will be changing the paint and some other things. When I get it and go to work I may hit you up for tips. Esecially painting the interior.
@woodweezel - Thanx. If everything goes well, I should be installing the 1915 this weekend. The existing motor will go into my 63'. The 63's motor is the original motor to the car with matching numbers. So this motor will be saved in case I ever sell the 63. Got the birth certificate for both my cars from Germany, and this confirmed the the motor number on the 63. My 66' is a great car and I really enjoy it. The color is Java Green and is the original color. Looking forward to the bigger motor
off the start , lemme compliment you good job you did it the hard way everything from the ground up...next Y? should have put it on a ball joint pan and slammed it with a built trans and 80+hp then u could have somthing all people would be jealous of not just us bug volks anyway it's a hell of a lot better than any of my bugs.see you in the slow lane...enjoy
I love 💕 this car since my Childhood years, they judged it because it’s old and useless, but I don’t care 🤷♂️ what the others might say to that car 🚘, all I know is that is still in a good use. Respect 🫡 the VW cars, ❤!
@koolbossjock - Thanx, its a great car and a lot of fun, especially since I put in the new 1915 this year. The sound mat is by Fat Mat, kinda like Dynamat. Helps sound proof the car. Glad I did it.

So impressed with the floor covering/seat base covering work.....skill.
Beautiful restoration. I found a 69 Ghia that was heading to the car crusher. My son and I are working on it together! Some day it will be his!👍✌️✌️
i can imagine the amount of hours and money you've put into this....beautiful restoration, the end product prove it....BRAVO
Superb workmanship ..,It's nice to see they heater channel outlets not covered up with carpet always a sign of a quality restoration and one of the first things I look for.
It's easy to see this was a labor of love for old Beetles : )
I'm starting to fall in love with this car
Fantastic car, great job on the resto. Love the color green too!
Excellent restoration, pretty color of the body
Congratulations from Brazil.
Beautiful job, you saved another VW from the crusher. every one of them counts.
Wow....you ended up with the perfect stance. I never like them when they're all butterflied out. Nice job and beautiful bug!
DAMN GOOD JOB ! All that work was well worth it. She is a beauty..
Great restoration, great year for bug. Hope still serves you well.
Outstanding! Thank you for saving her life.
I love your bug, I have a 66 almost the same colour, I painted it about 10 years ago. Take it easy and thank you for a very cool video
Wow!! beautiful job
I used to Live in Wenatchee. Greetings from Mexico City 👏👏
Nicely done, another bug not forgotten ..
Wish I had another ... My first car was a 1966 Volkswagon 1300 cc with an Abersparker Gas heater ...6 volt ....Such a cool car This one is fab and done so nice
WOW......!! This is very nice. You have done a good job.
Wow! Wish my Beetle looked like this! She looks more like the "before" than the "after"!! :(
Great Job- It is set up so nice. If you change the engine out -keep you old one and do not sell any org. parts. Hang on to everything. Having org.parts with your bug is like money in the bank- only better. I wish it was my bug. Great color

Great job, great music and, of course, great bug!
Hope in summer i'll be restauring one, pre 66.
I'm about to restore my '67 bug and this is definitely beautiful sir, I love your video.
I'm very impressed... what else can I say. Congratulations.
Excellent restoration, very well done, wheels you chose bring it to the 21 st century, but a level height would be my way. Once again, top marks.
Nice work! I've restored a few cars myself, and my next "last one" will be a VW Bug like yours. Enjoy it, you deserve it.
i love how you played the bob marley. keep it up.One love from Jamaica
Great work. Nice video work too. Love the Rainier shot. Don't see many bugs in the Tri or Yak. Especially ones that look this good. 👍
Great job on the Bug thanks for the inspiration. I love that Java Green!! If my 73 turns out half as good, it will be a great car.
beutiful piece of art,work and history.Beutiful beutiful car
love the interior and the pop out windows.
Great work dude!!!! I got a 72 GT bug, which needs the same treatment.
Great video production and Even better work w the Bug!
great job! I have a 73 and looking for a 67 or older. Just classy lines and that metal dash.
I sure do miss i 66'. She was a pretty white, and around the windows she was a nice tan....
Great Job- It is set up so nice. If you change the engine out -keep you old one and do not sell any org. parts. Hang on to everything. Having org.parts with your bug is like money in the bank- only better. I wish it was my bug.
Wow, really looks great. Nice job.
Thats a lovely car man, congratulations, the only thing i'd change would be the rims, to stock ones with the white band, but anyway is a badass car.
Wow, a really nice car. Great Job.
Xlnt workmanship bro! Sick job!
Very nice job, this look made here in Brazil
Fantastic job! I restored a 66 bug too. I wasn't such a thorough job, though.

@drupi77, Thanx man. It's a lot of fun. Can't wait to do the next one :-)
