I am part of a huge car family my brother has a 2021 Toyota supra and my dad has a I believe 2019 or 2018 golf R both of them having A whole bunch of mods.

    My dad is a life long VW tech. He built me this extract car and gave it to me at 16 years old. My husband, when I was 19 asked me to sell it in 1995. Two years ago 2022 (27 years later)I bought it back from the guy I sold it to. It was still titled in my name. I am currently restoring it myself and hope to have it ready this august. My dad is dying of ALS and he wants me to bring my car from Tennessee(where I live) to North west Arkansas this coming August for a VW show that he attends every year with his 1971 type 3 fast back. I’m trying to hard to get it done. I’ve sold stuff on eBay to buy and replace everything needed. I really got to learn to paint now. lol.

    I would do a full restoration. The first car I owned was a 1969 VW. The color was British Racing Green. I fully optioned it out including a manual Sun roof, wood sport steering wheel, sport shifter, Blaupunkt AM, FM, SW radio, mud flaps, chrome rear quarter panel protectors, flared exhaust tips, bumper guards, door edge guards and shoulder harnesses. I’ll never forget the price, $1,940.00 delivered. It’s the only car I ever really loved. Over 180,000 miles in almost 11 years of ownership and with the exception of, I think three or four valve repairs no other issues. 53 horsepower with a maximum cruising speed of 78 MPH. I’ve regretted selling it since that day in the spring of 1980.

    My first car was a 1973 Beetle in yellow, it took me 3 weeks after passing my driving test some 40 years ago to find one within my then low budget and I loved that car. Easy to work on, quirky and a great community. I had plans to either re-chrome or de-chrome and lower it when I had the money. 2 years later a series of circumstances meant I took the bag of sand from under the hood and was on my way to get some fuel when there was a sudden storm and a combination of surface water and no weight in the front meant a long aquaplane, gathering speed and a freak impact between a rear wheel and the corner of a concrete crash barrier snapped the chassis at a point where it could not be sleeved. I couldn't afford another so I had to sell it as a parts car. Strangely enough I got more than I paid. I would so be wanting to restore the one in the video and go on another bug run.

    That bug is good enough to be restored. Inside and outside, all it needs is some body work , a paint job, and some interior work, and it's good to go. I wish I still had mine

    Great Transformation!!! I would restore to original condition and color.

    Awesome work, aside from the dent in the roof (I would get that sorted) I love the patina on it. Personally I'd keep it like that, it is more unique and would be a wonderful reminder of your late father. There are plenty of buggys out there if that's what you want want, this one has character.

    First, nice clean up! My Father owned a 1973 super beetle some 40+ years ago. It was even yellow. I have never owned a beetle and frankly it is literally my dream car. All of this said, I would resto mod it. Street stance, with chrome wheels and caps, an 1835cc engine and yellow just like my Father's.

    It’s a solid beetle. I would bring the exterior back to the original blue and restore it.

    hello, i'm david from germany. I think it's great that you're giving old cars a new chance. I would leave the body in its optical condition and conserve it. I would fix the tescchnik and keep it as it was.

    I would probably sand off the exterior paint, and then paint it to the color seen in the door jams, which I assume is likely the original color. Then, I would have to assume that the engine is completely shot, so I would find an engine to swap in to it, and continue to restore the rest of the vehicle. This vehicle definitely needs to see the road again, whether on its original powertrain, or a donor. Great satisfying detail, keep up the great content!

    There is a thing in the UK that classic car guys call oily rag restoration, perfect for this car. Restore what's necessary, bring it to the decent aesthetic condition and keep as much original patina as possible.

    A full car tour I would love to see. This car reminds me of one of the cars my father owned. His was a 1965 model, and it was the 1300 which was what he had. This car takes me back to the days when he was your age. He drove it to Sandy's fast food and in those days, a large hamburger was only 15 cents! His did have the black steering wheel. His was one of the first cars to come with seatbelts standard.

    Probably the first thought that goes through a random viewer's mind: 'Bumblebee?' I mean, the colour gives it that vibe. Love the Beetles. They never give in and are reliable.

    @davidgreen4275 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I would restore it. I had a 1967 the same colour as the inside of this one. It was a great little car! I never drove it enough, and sold it to a student who used it for college.
