1973 VW Thing Restoration - Part 6 | Traded the Thing for a Porsche
Well with the Thing basically complete, I ended up finding someone that wanted to trade. I trade the Thing for a 2005 Posche Boxster S w/6 speed manual. Overall the car is in good shape for it age and mileage. I have a few little items to take care of and then we'll see what happens to it......Sell or trade...who knows??

Finally a video that gets straight to the point, thanks I’m going to do this to my little trailer
Wow
Parallel, not perpendicular. Very professionally done.
Parallel, not perpendicular ;)
Love the conversion. Did you put in a black water tank or is it direct drain for full hookup
Great job
Love this design and had thought about doing something similar, but this seems like it would be incredibly heavy? How much do you figure it weighs??
Legend build. Very detailed. 1 question, how do you tie down the car inside? I see no tracks on the floor?
@@e30sports44 I had E tracks for the floor, but I never installed them.
Oh man. Thanks a lot 😠 I have an 8x20 car hauler that I bought to convert. I thought I was done but here you come with some fantastic ideas and I now have a todo list! 🤦🏻♂️ Beautiful job. I’m looking forward to modifying my trailer now! BTW what’s the weight of your trailer and what is the tow vehicle? I didn’t really need a toy hauler but that was the best used trailer I could find at the time. My suburban really really grunts and groans pulling it.
Does anyone know if this kind of conversion requires a permit and plumbing? Everything I read assumes it’s going to be a rental unit but I only want a bedroom for family.
Looks great! 🤙
Turned out awesome! ❤
How did you make the shower? And what brand trailer is that?
Still the best system I've seen so far doing some research. Excellent steel fabrication workmanship. Light weight, strong, compact, simple. Bravo dude.
What thickness of Insulation did you use? Or if you remember the R value and are you happy with it? Stays cool holds heat etc. I am currently building mine and i'm trying to decide on insulation. And I can't decide what to use. Hahahaha. Awesome build
Beautiful work
Nice job. About to do a office so your instructions really will help. ❤❤❤❤
Man, you did a beautiful job on this. It is the perfect blend of functionality and beauty. Love it.
You have built a great camper, car hauler. You should be proud! Great idea’s bye you, it looks great!
Finally something like what i want !!!! Thank you .
Nice build! What do you do for tie-downs or securing your load?
Imagine owning a car that could tow this trailer then park inside it, if needed. That be sick.
Do you need a permit to build a room with no electrical in a garage?
Awesome !!! Got me pumped up to do mine now!!!
THIS IS PERFECT!
Love the video! You gave me the confidence to start this project in my garage! I was wondering how you did the framing. Did you lay it all on the ground attach it then stand it up? Thank you!
Love the no sink in the bathroom
I’d definitely be putting a curtain between y’all’s bed and the kids beds. My wife and I need a little bit of privacy.
I’d like to convert a cargo trailer into a camping trailer, but our (my) truck is a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab with a 6’ bed, so I’m limited on the weight limit for towing, (6,500#). I don’t want to tear up my pickup, because at my age my truck needs to last until I die. After my death I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using it to plow our private road of the 5-7 ft of snow we get every winter. Thankfully I drive less than 10K miles per year.
Dimensions?
Hey bro can u shoot me the info on where you purchased both those murphy beds pls.
Nice job man
Great Job!!! Im stealing the bunk bed design.
Thank you 😊
I’m literally going to copy your design. Now I have to find the trailer. That’s perfect. Did you do any Black or grey tanks. If so where did you put them !
Cost on whole thing?
You and your wife are lovely humans <3
Wow very cool but thats overkill in my opinion... gas is very expensive here 😮
Awesome job!!! “And stuff like that”……😂😂😂. My wife and I were laughing every time you said (and stuff like that)…… Great job on the trailer. Lots of tips and ideas spawned. 🤘🤘
Thanks...yea my country accent comes out from time to time..LOL!!
Cat licks butthole 20:32
Great job dude! i really been searching for toy hauler but the garage space is never big enough unless spend $60k+...My biggest concern is i have literally 0 experience building anything,I know im capable but, aestethics are big deal to me and i don't want it looking like someone with 0 experience building, built it 😆 so im just going to not rush, I don't care how long it takes. Anyways How much did this end up costing you at end of the day? roughly
Just take your time....I mapped the floor plans multiple times with tape and just sit there dreaming in my head how I would use it and it ended up changing a few things to make it flow better. It's been awhile....I had around $12k including trailer (Used...use to be a concession stand).
you could trailer a nice bass boat inside this thing and be able to haul your boat and camper with one tow vehicle to the lake. Great build!
Yep, I had E-Track for the floor and you could place them anywhere to secure anything you want.
Nice job with this. Will definitely be copying a lot of this when it comes time to build out my race trailer with living quarters.
Thanks, Copy all you want!
That's cool maby a picture of a fake plant or something just to top off the desk 😁
Your such a talented person , this trailer is fantastically built your geniuses is amazing. 🏴👏🏻good job.
Thanks...I'm just a guy from the country and grew up in my dads shadow.
Tidy cleaver bed system , good job 🏴👋🏻
Yes, I've had a lot of people reach out to me over the idea. Several people wanted me to build them as well.
What is that stuff called that you put on the walls? or can you send links?
Bead board siding... got it at Lowes
Amazing! You did a great job!
What is the thickness of the steel for the beds?? .125” or maybe .250”??
I can't remember the GA...it was around 1/4" thick.
