1974 Super Beetle Revival part 2 BROKE DOWN AT MY KIDS SCHOOL (Installing new parts) Will it drive?

Today i pick my kid up from shool in the 1974 Super beetle and give it some love after sitting in a field for 21 years. Total brake system, running boards, how to install quarter glass, paint the wheels, newish seats, Will it make the trip? Or is the little bug doomed?

You're doing wonders to that bug, what a big change.

Uhhhh, that Stationwagon... makes my Heart revving up...

Thank you!

The horn honking indiscriminately is outrageously funny.

[@somewhatfast]

Yeah everytime I turn the wheel the horn honks

Continued: two of my friends and I drove to Peoria IL to visit a friend. I insisted on driving all the way back myself. A little benzidrine helped.
Thankss, Mike from Connecticut.

Should be a good flip. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

She would find the only bug in the slug bug. Love her

What we did when fitting windows was rub washing up liquid inside the rubber. It made the rubber and string slide easier

[@russriley3005]

I use spray silicone; it cleans up good and doesn't stain headliners

[@michaelanthony888]

Nice! I have a 1968 Beetle convertible now. It is my fourth bug. I had a 1957, a 1968 and a 1974 which bought new (I am 73 yrs old). Two of my friends drove my '68 to Peoria IL from CT to visit a friend

[@somewhatfast]

Holy mackerel, Thats a long drive. What year was your favorite out of the 3? This is my first beetle. 🐞

[@zenithmosaic]

Success! Great video

[@somewhatfast]

Thank you nick

[@russriley3005]

I bet your kid was just thrilled that you pulled up to her school in that old jalopy. her classmates will rib her good for it...thank goodness I don't have kids; I can be tacky without the expense of my kids in my 73 super

[@a075923]

Glad to see the wagon! Have you sold the motor and transmission yet? Have a great day really like your videos.

[@somewhatfast]

Still have the motor and trans

One thing about supers is they love to have a “shimmy” which is usually control arm bushings.if you ever decide to lower use topline suspension stuff.I’m doing adjustable struts in my 71 super.I did mk1 Audi TT seats which are really comfortable.my car is same marina blue as yours

[@somewhatfast]

I've never driven a beetle EVER these cars seems to drive very well. Especially for sitting for 20 plus years. But I haven't taken it on the highway yet I will keep your recommendation in mind. Thank you Walter.

[@russriley3005]

oh, that's the hippy hippy shake, that's how you know your bug is groovy. my 73 starts dancing between 35-40 mph

Hi, What about gifting it to your daughter. :)

[@somewhatfast]

Thats a great idea. We have about 7 years until she is driving and I have a 1971 Dart that I am planning on building for her!
