    That dash on the 59 looks like right out of the box! The 63 is also looking good. You're luck is changing!

    As soon as you fired it up I said, Its just the belt! That thing runs great! Beautiful bug. 59 is my favorite year, I have a nice 62 daily driver currently, which I will keep because I am going through everything to make it a super reliable driver. I am running the original 40hp engine which pushes me up the grapevine in California just fine!

    Wow sounded nice! But I hear a knock sound too. Fired right up though. Yep the belt!!! Quick fix! 😁
    Love the garage…I need one like that.
    Original paint that long! I was wondering why so much paint was removed too.
    The original paint doesn’t look that bad……
    The dash is amazing!!! Wow!!!

    I turned 16 at the end of 1972 and bought my first car.....a 59 VW. Drove it for a few years and bought something newer. Had a lot of good times in the old bug and wish I still had it. Ahhh the memories of our youth.

I paid $175 for that beetle, I was a sophomore in high school and HOLY SMOKES DID WE HAVE FUN! It went EVERYWHERE in winter and summer! LOL!

    Love Your Channel.
    I as a young kid use to love The older VW Beetles until I drove one.
    I scared myself so much driving it I ended up never driving one again LOL
    A lot of my fear came from the lack of insulation in the body so the car vibrated excessively for my tastes & with the high revving engine & the shimmy & shaking along with the sensitivity of the breaks It felt like it was going much faster than it actually was.
    I have since regained my love for the older VW's & Cannot stand the remakes of today, they have made a car the reminds you of the old classic but is far from it.
    I like watching you & your buddies tinker & forage & fix these old babes & giving them new life.
    Keep up doing what you are doing cause there are so few actual VW lovers out there now a days, especially here in Canada.

    @stephenricketts7764 ปีที่แล้ว

    Watched this video yesterday but didn't have time to comment. My thoughts on the paint or lack of it are; the body shop did the repair and scorched the paint with the grinder OR the guy didn't want to 'feather' the edges of the paint so stripped the whole thing maybe neither of those but I cannot think of any other reason for them doing that. There is a 'new' device now that can scan the original paint colour and then you just plug that into the point shop computer and it tells it what the mix should be. Might be worth finding out if you can borrow/hire one. I am sure you will renew the other side before you paint it anyway. Take care Jason and good to see Taylor putting in some hours for you. 👍👍

    Don't call yourself a dumbass-When a man is busy and trying to multitask some details get overlooked.

That 59 is a beauty
