Did that correct the fuel smell problem?

I love watching your videos. Thank you very much. I’m working on a 71 super beetle convertible.

Thank you for this fun and informative video. So cool that you've written a book documenting how to take care of your 1970 beetle for future generations

My buddy puts this event on every year.

welcome again.😃😃

10 years ago, I watched all the restoration videos. It was really nice to see current pictures and be reminded of the great story behind this beetle. Thank tou

Great content.....8 just stumbled upon your page. Awesome

great introduction and recap

I want a copy of that thing

Thorough explanation, thank you

Thank you sir, love your videos, very helpful

Very straightforward explanation of the process, using a standard racing-type battery isolator switch (about US$25) available in any auto parts store. I essentially did exactly the same thing myself, even installing the switch in the left upper side of the right rear kick panel and splicing the switch into the starter-solenoid (power) cable, using crimp-type lugs. It's very fast, easy and almost exactly as you explain it. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us, Malcolm. [ By the way, my 73 VWDubber (Beetle) had, at one time, a minor battery compartment fire, likely due to the rear bench seat springs having come into contact with the top of the battery when a heavy person sat back there; fortunately, it did little damage other than ruining one of the transverse seat springs (which are a real bitch to find as a replacement, however; I ended up connecting the two broken ends of the spring using a clamp-on tubular crimping tube...seems to have worked well enough). With the keyed switch in this place on the kick-panel, it is easily reached from the driver's seat and is used to 'disconnect' the power to the starter (not to kill the engine while it is running!). ] Cheers!

Thanks very much Malcolm. These are very helpful and professionally done work instructions and videos. I think you must be an engineer, and one very good at documentation! Thanks again

Beautiful car.

Great video and a great gift to your family

Great Video, Thank you..

Sir, I have been thoroughly enjoying your restoration videos. I just recently purchased a 1970 Beetle and have been doing some repair work on it. One thing that I was not familiar with on the 1970 Beetle I owned way back in 1970 was the Rain Gutter on the deck lid. The Beetle I just purchased has one but it is missing the downspouts and the grommets in the rain gutter need to be replaced. Can you please tell me where I could find the grommets and downspouts for the rain gutter? Thank you very much! And thanks for these great videos they have been most helpful! Al Davis

Outstanding video, THIS is how you do a restoration walkthrough!

Trying to find guides to work on my 69, her light just came on. Super simple and helpful, thank you!!

Greetings. May I ask where one gets this tow bar? I have a '74 Super Beetle that I gave to my dad to use in his last days and has been parked for almost 5 years now. :( I need to tow it somewhere to get started on its second restoration (The first time was when I first got it 24 years ago) - I just can't seem to want to let it go. Thank you.

You're the literally the only person to make a video about removing the convertible door windows. The funny thing is I have a manual for the car but it only shows door window removal for hardtops. Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for the video Malcolm!! Very informative and detailed. I think I am having the same issue. I will replace my voltage regulator and see if it fixes the problem. Thank you again!!

Very comprehensive video - but what else would you expect from Forrest Gump!

I could not stop listening to you. So relaxing! Thank you great video.

Super great video!!! Gonna clean out my gas tank from my 64 vw bug,..im starting off 2021 with alotta projects to so! Thanks again

Thank you Malcolm! That is a lot of detailed information. Maybe the most in one video about the VW electrical. I love your videos. I hope your VW is still running.

Thank you sir for sharing your wisdom!

This just proves that it can be done without removing the body. Yes it's more aggravating but it can be done. Thanks Malcom!

Why do I need to disconnect the battery. Also my 68 beetle has an alternator added

Your videos are outstanding, thank you very much. Do you think it would be ok to tow my bug with one of these tow bars across country, or would it be better to rent one of the Uhaul front tire dollys?

Straightforward explanation. Thanks!

Thanks for your very explicit trouble shooting.

I added a kill switch. I did not solder the cable lug. I drilled a 3/32" hold through the lug and used a sheet metal screw. I don't like a flame that close to the battery gases. I used the same switch as you did. Instead of metal I used thin plywood as a backup plate.

Do you have any copies of the book?

Great video, Eastwood has some great products, I used Eastwood Extreme Chassis Paint on my beetle, and it can handle anything, including brake fluid. =)

Well it certainly didn’t take me two hours to put the tow bar on and some cable! Maybe he injured his back...

It's amazing that you got this much done for 10K. I've spent that on the body/paint and top replacement plus a couple of thou. You car is beautiful!!

Nice resource series. Made my life considerably easier. Sizes of hardware a nice touch for when I have to replace them on install.

Important to be aware that on the driver’s side the bearing clamp nut has reverse threads and to loosen it go clockwise.

This is probably the most helpful video ever, thank you so much for making it!

Hello Sir, I have a 1973 Beetle and I will be towing it from Wyoming to South Carolina using my Honda Pilot. But I have a few questions have I hope you can answer. 1 - Does your tow bar have a offset? 2 - Where did you get your tow bar? 3 - Do you know if that tow bar will fit on a 1973 Beetle? Thanks Sir. - Rachel
