Zach, you’re easy to root for and I enjoy watching you succeed with your builds. I fabricate and build myself so mad respect for what you are able to create out of “less than perfect” things you start with. Sam needs to do a partner project with you man.
This series was pretty awesome. My daughter is huge fan of the beetle and now wants to build one like yours. Keep it up. Your creativity towards the work you do is second to none.
I think that looks absolutely awesome. My first car was a 74 super beetle and i fell in love with the old bugs and ended up building a baja later on that i wish i still had. ive never had the pleasure of driving one on the newer ones but have always wanted to.
I love the mix of different things you're doing between the watercraft and a vehicle and bringing out the artistic touches that you add and the way you explain it so that everybody can see how to do it I wish I had that talent keep up the good work young man I enjoy your videos and I do have a 2018 suncatcher v22 SS pontoon on the waterway at Holden Beach North Carolina that I truly enjoy and would love to do some customizing with the lights and other things so I'm learning
OMG this is my dream! Not the rust part although it did turn out surprisingly well, but I have had my beetle bug for 10yrs and have wanted to turn it into an off road style beetle since day 1! You have given me so much motivation. I will be doing most of the work myself except the shocks unless I get shocks that are predone because the compression part scares the crap out of me. Anywho, great work.and thank you for sharing! Lol I came here after searching up how to refurbish a 96 Seadoo and subbed after I saw the beetle. I hope your 2023 is going well and I'm sending you well wishes. 👋💗
Absolutely one of the coolest builds...Real Rust, suspended in the clearcoat... who'dda thunk it.. I am one to enjoy your boat builds, but this rates up there with them.
Dude, as I was watching I was hoping you would go even more Baja. Looks awesome. Did you have to get a wheel alignment? Maybe Jerry cans, shovel etc added to the rack? Whip antenna?
Awesome rebuild! Very cool taking the time to change what you did even though you had some hiccups (headlights). Things I would never have the patience for. Peanut butter leather seat covers... awesome. Overall, very well rebuild!!!
I just got a 2005 Beetle in lime green. 100k on it but the engine is so smooth, it’s problem was the previous owner ran over something that bent the trans pan and started leaking trans fluid. I ordered a new pan , gasket, and filter. I had intentions of building a reverse trike with a Harley engine and 6 speed trans but I’m just going to get it going clean it up and drive it till it dies then do the Harley reverse trike conversion at that time. But your video really inspired me to go in a rebuild direction Thanks brother keep up the good work.
23:36 FASTER 👍 My turbo Sport Beetle Test drive: Freeway on ramp, going through the gears, getting up to freeway speed to merge, when I got to the freeway I was doing 89 in third gear and had three gears left, those turbos are six speed. 1) thought, Yes I'm buying this car. 2) I need to be very careful not to get speeding tickets. Fast forward a little while, giving a buddy a ride through town to show off the new car, sitting at a red light lifted diesel turbo pickup truck pulls up next to us. He Revs his engine as he sees the turbo Sport on the back of the car. Light turned green, friend asked what are you doing? To be fair I'll give him a head start. I waited until he was at the crosswalk on the other side of the intersection. We passed him before he was finished crossing 🚸. My friend and I were waiting for him at the next light. When the turbo diesel truck finally caught up he was laughing. My friend asked "Was that legal?" "Zero to the speed limit, but much faster than him... Totally legal." 😉
Haha. The most expensive car is a free car from Sam :) I wasn't a fan of the rust but the end project is a work of art, man. Nice. I like the boat content more in general because car TH-cam channels are a dime a dozen, but I watch all of them, watched this whole project come together. Sam had no idea what kind of monster he was creating! LOL.
I've had several bugs and buses from '65 to '73. Got my '65 from my sister , which she brought back from over seas. My last was a super bug. Would like to see you do an old school bug with the survivor look. You did a GREAT job on the one you have and would like to see how you do on a survivor / rat bug.
I think this build came out fantastic awesome work man. The other things I would do is try to get more horse power and change the exhaust system to make it maybe a bit louder or a deeper sound
You can barely go 80 mph without it shaking? Where I live the interstate speed limit is 80 mph and most people push to just under 85 mph on a regular basis. The car looks cool and there's no real reason it shouldn't be stable at 80 mph, so I'd go back through the build to see what you missed.
Spoiler - 8:39 coworker didn't know about the automatic spoiler on the test drive. The sales guy who was riding with him ignored the noise so he thought it was a issue W the car. He ended up getting a non turbo. He told me this when I got my turbo sport.
Think a "SALVAGE BEETLE INTO BAJA BEETLE IN 10 MINUTES" video might do better with the algorithm. Bunch of timelapse shots over a phat beat. Guaranteed 1M+ view video. This narrated video is good but the true fans know the story. To get further reach people just wanna see the process. Like the Volkswagen Mini Bike in 11 minutes. 4.7M views. You know bro
Got damn, free car and motor and more. Must be nice. I get a kick in the sack and a Crack on the back from my friends. Jeebus. I cant imagine how much money you put on the CC to go all this
I like the built in minutes videos. But hey, the 'before' pic in the thumbnail looks too shiny, pick a screenshot from the dusty copart yard and clickbait 101 is complete 😁😁
You legit show yourself so little in your videos that by 21 minutes in I saw you again and totally forgotten that is what you had looked like at beginning of video....

not sure to laugh or say wth did you do? what are the chances that you can paint it just normal ...it was gross to watch the colors hehehehehe sorry but really gross
I have to unsubscribe because the content is so dull you spend to much time updating I think 2 videos ago you literally reposted almost an entire video it seems to be the same the last 10 videos sry broo keep your day job
Zack, the rebuild was absolutely incredible. You are a very talented young man. Keep up,the good work. I enjoyed the videos a lot.
Bro I just watched you pull out of Chick-fil-A and chase in my hometown!

I enjoyed this series. I’d like to see more of the updates on this vehicle and I have you followed on Instagram. Thanks for sharing.

I’m an old school VW guy and I have to tell you, this is the absolute best looking new beetle I have ever seen. You truly do amazing work
I love the Beetle. What a great job...!
You totally inspire me to not waste my time. Thank you.

That was a super build! Congratulations!
😲 Hey men! Are you sure that desert beetle is not poisonous? because it seems to be! 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏 Súper Cool! 👏👏👏👏👏
What a great build, you have done such a fantastic job, keep doing it...!
I like the headliner very much and the overall refit of the car. Very good job and the outcome seems very impressive.
Incredible build!
I know you are enjoying the car!
Looking forward to the next videos on the massive and mini Pontoon rebuilds.👍🏽

Real cool build
Beautiful, great job.
That’s a totally awesome build -congrats
Love this project! We’ll done!❤
That rebuild is awesome. You are very talented and have great vision. Congrats.
Dude, as I was watching I was hoping you would go even more Baja. Looks awesome.
Did you have to get a wheel alignment? Maybe Jerry cans, shovel etc added to the rack? Whip antenna?
The bug is a really cool build!
I just seen your car on the interstate. Definitely an eye catcher and RAW AF 🔥🔥
AWESOMENESS !!!!
Just GREAT 👍
Great build!
Love the content as always Zach. U da man!
I did enjoy this build.
Great job 😎 it came out amazing. Just luv watching your channel, you are very creative. Looking forward to seeing the pontoon boats next episode 😎🇨🇦
You made me love the beetle, IT NEEDS TO BE MY FIRST CAR
Great Vlog Zach!!!
Hey Zach, seen you today in your bug on 27 just south of the Babson Park cut off road, it looked pretty cool! Keep up the good work!
Looks really good.
Awesome job 👏
Awesome rebuild! Very cool taking the time to change what you did even though you had some hiccups (headlights). Things I would never have the patience for. Peanut butter leather seat covers... awesome. Overall, very well rebuild!!!
I think it looks awesome it's a credit to you well done and keep up the good work 👍👍
As long as YOU like the look then that's the main thing. Enough said.

What happened to the Figaro?
That came out SOOOOO SICK! I think you should buy another and turn it into a lifted smith Ute conversion :D
I Love this build👍👍
23:36 FASTER 👍

Not another jet ski Zack
From a wreck to a maximum rally
Liek... Cool
Big fan bro
zack make it yours you do great work
You’re an absolute magician Zach. Like all your projects this came out amazing the bug looks sensational 👌🏼👌🏼
Zac, Did the new LED Headlights drop straight in without needing to change plugs, fuses etc?
It was a Chinese aftermarket. Straight plug n play
Just saw you on the road 😅 I'm in the Deadpool Honda Del Sol
Did u sand down all the primer before you painted the parts ??
I'm fan from UAE❤️🔥
It's sick I love it
Hope you put a navigation screen
It’s going plaid fast !
Say your car on 27 today. 12/27/22 thought about awesome it looked an had to look you up and give a follow nice work
Good stuff
I think this build came out fantastic awesome work man. The other things I would do is try to get more horse power and change the exhaust system to make it maybe a bit louder or a deeper sound
What type of steamer do you use?
Why would one dislike this video. 😁
well done, maybe we can do a collaboration build one day.
How fast is your rust-o-mod ?
Awesome videos sorry I’m soo late
you never gave the exact spec on the wheels and tires you stuffed under the lift kit? can we get those specs?
You can barely go 80 mph without it shaking? Where I live the interstate speed limit is 80 mph and most people push to just under 85 mph on a regular basis.
The car looks cool and there's no real reason it shouldn't be stable at 80 mph, so I'd go back through the build to see what you missed.
Will the rust actually eat into body panels in 10 years time?
I always wanted a volkswagon. My first car was a 1965 Chevy Corvair.
How about a rust patina how to video?!👍🏼
Yo this is nice
It has that old AMC Eagle Vibe
What paint gun is that
Eastwood cc500

Zach 10/10
Is this for sale
Hope the bug is ok. Just saw it in another TH-cam vid. 😞

It has an angry LED Light Look to it at night…stylish
💯
I saw this car js now
Fuckd up with the rusty color. black looked awesome or some other dark contrast. but not rusty. no way
Got damn, free car and motor and more. Must be nice. I get a kick in the sack and a Crack on the back from my friends. Jeebus. I cant imagine how much money you put on the CC to go all this
Make it rear engine
I like the built in minutes videos. But hey, the 'before' pic in the thumbnail looks too shiny, pick a screenshot from the dusty copart yard and clickbait 101 is complete 😁😁
I just don't understand...why?

I have a forgettable face anyway 🙃

You misspelled a few words in your title. "How I Turned a FREE WRECKED Car into an EYESORE"
not sure to laugh or say wth did you do?
what are the chances that you can paint it just normal ...it was gross to watch the colors hehehehehe sorry but really gross
