Update???
New video coming out soon
Looking forward to more videos of the Renault!
Is the arm going tovthe top of the bag have a square hole in it, and the square rod slides through it?
Yes
Happy 2025! Any new videos coming out soon?
Yes just took a few weeks off for the holiday but expect new content soon!
What tires and size wheels are you running ? Looks titts
195/55/16 if I remember correctly
Nice work on your headlights and taillights. Though your replacements may not be original, the added brightness makes the added safety worth it, while still preserving essential originality (headlights with "contact lenses" and little oval "snowflake" taillights) The only thing about your car that detracts is that "lowered look." 1958 was the first year of the larger "square window" "Herbie Generation" (1958-1964) bugs. I owned 4 early '60s bugs back in the day, a turquoise '61, a blue '63, and 2 sunroof '62s, one red and one white. That's how much I love them. I decked out the white '62 into a Herbie. My dad also owned a ceramic green '60 bug, same color as the one in my thumbnail.(only year for that color) The later bugs had the not as cute but safer "high heel" taillights with the separate turn signals ('62-'67").
Looks awesome
Saludos amigos, pregunto, cuando van a mostrar terminado el renault que montaron en la plataforma del vw escarabajo? Estamos en contacto, ánimo.
We are getting back on it!
@@lowerclassgarage gracias, de verdad quisiera ver terminado ese renault. Saludos, me gusta mucho su trabajo.
More split window stuff for sure
Thanks for watching
What an awesome discovery on that rare gem! Would love a split someday!
These are impossible to come by now and the original or restored ones are on another price level than the 60s and 70s bugs
Very true
That's quite a car! I wish my '65 was that solid 😆
Yea it’s a true survivor
Looking forward to more Renault episodes! Will you repaint the car baby blue or retain original patina?
Patina for sure
My folks had a white 1963 bug with crank open sunroof. As kids we used to stand on the back seat and stick our heads out of it while driving!
Yeah - massive improvement!
Whoa. You just blew my mind with those wingnut seat hold downs. Never knew they attached like that. Might do that with some seats I want to solid mount in my current project. Beautiful car. For lowerclass, you sure have some high class cars. LOL.
It's nice to take a break now and then.
Yes it is!

Why do you Yanks use Imperial Measurements when both Renault and Volkswagen use Metrics ?
I don’t think it makes a difference for what I’m doing. But I’m using all metric hardware if it makes you feel better! Thanks for watching!
This is pretty awesome they must have a lot of records
For sure
It’s a must for all VW owners. Discover the history of your VW
Yessir!
Love this build. My wife started singing the jingle for this car she remembered.
That’s awesome!
I literally just ordered one for my ‘56 last night! Super excited 😊
It is well worth the wait for the info you get.
Thats really cool that they have those available.
Super cool..plan on doing this as a gift for my Dad and his 53' oval
It’s is definitely worth it!
Great idea. Takes a few weeks to arrive
Check out Diff, on Rat Rods for Africa. He is putting an earlier, smaller Renault on a VW chassis. Yur project lkks fine, by the way. In the past I have owned a Dauphine, an R 10 and and R 16.
Can’t wait to see it done …. 😊🇬🇧
Thank you!
Freaking sweet
Thanks!
Nice work! Defintiely gives me some John Ludwick vibes and always up for supporting the weird Euro cars on beetle pans!
Thank you!
Super cool build. Loving it!
Thanks!
Sweet!
Thanks!
It's going to be a cool reanobug
Thank you
Totally cool!
Thank you!
When i was at school many years ago a teacher turned up with a new one of these . Nice build from the UK .
Thank you
Nice. That trunk's gonna be clean. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thank you!
I like your soundtrack. So many of these car videos have jarring or disruptive tracks!
Thanks you I try to make it entertaining and put a lot of thought into into the music!
Will there be inner fenders?
Yes
Wow 🍺
🍻
Love the build. In the next video can you talk about the decision to put the gas tank hump at the front instead of the back? Looks like it might have had more clearance that way but I’m not in the shop
The issue is that the beetle gas tank is actually clearanced for the steering column. I will definitely go over that in the next video and explain that a bit better! Thanks for watching!
Lookin good brother
Thanks!

Wow!!! Wasn't expecting this yet! Fantastic progress.
Sweet!
Hermoso auto. Saludos desde Argentina.
If you know then you know with the Renault
It's looking great!
Thank you!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you
Awesome thanks for sharing. Take care
Nice work.
Thanks!
This build is so freaking cool. The finished product is going to be inspirational. When people see this on the road, they are going to want it for themselves.
Thank you!
Hi, watching this from 🇨🇵 , I can confirm that is very inspirational ! As beetle owner, more easy here to find a Dauphine. Extremely Good Feeling Mr @lowerclassgarage 😎
