The color is a great choice. Looks nice with your design. Pro tip.. use a hair dryer or heat gun to relax and help stretch the material when covering the cushions to minimize wrinkling.
Car is looking great man. You do amazing work. Small tip on the seat covers, Next time just use a steamer when you're stretching the covers over the foam to staple them and it wont have the wrinkles. But it sure looks good, Keep up the awesome vids
Don’t know why there’s a blank spot in the intro… 🤷🏼♂️ anyways… Thank You all so much for the support on this build. More cool builds to come! If you want to see the small things being done to this bug follow me on Instagram @ultimate_rebuilds
I saw this car this past weekend in our small town from a distance.. I said to myself “now that looks really cool”.. I had a mutual friend share pics of said cool car and here I am! Glad to be able to watch this build. I’ll be sure to say hi next time I see you out!
Love everything about the bug. I’m a classic bug guy who now has a whole new mindset on the new ones. As your channel grows remember to be grateful and humble. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Amazing job on wrapping up the build and I absolutely love the leather seats you installed. I have black factory leatherette in my 2012, and they have held up really well, but I would love a color like that. I do agree that a tune would likely help you out with the power as well as maybe a DSG tune to help smooth the trans out, but otherwise, drive it until the wheels fall off.
MAJOR WIN on the seat covers! I love them - though I'm biased since that was my suggestion in the comments a while back but really just about any option would be nicer than what was stock. Congratulations on the build being complete too!
I admire you for having the motivation to get out and do all that hard work outdoors in Florida in the summer heat. Beautiful job on the car! I have never been a big fan of the patina thing, I am old school I guess, but the car looks really good and you have really done a great job in regards to the workmanship and customization. Really enjoyed the videos.
Congratulations Zach, you did a fantastic job and did Sam proud on this total transformation. I proud of you, your work ethic, your craftsmanship and your incredible creativity.
EPIC! So creative! You could easily open a shop and do nothing but custom bugs for people! Saw you help Samcrcac on his i8, you made that car beautiful!
When I looking at getting some leather covers for one of my project cars, I too came across that sight. I looked up the comments and they said they are made well but don’t fit as the OE covers do. Something you might look into is to put 1/2” sew foam on the seats which will take up a lot of the looseness of them and then use a steamer to help get the wrinkles off. Other than that, I think the color looks good and the car as a whole looks awesome!
I absolutely love the seats! I still am not a fan of the headliner. At first I did not like the paint job with the rust. I liked it before the rust but that has grown on me. Great job!
The bug turned out great. Personally, i loved the color of the paint before you rusted it. Maybe gloss black fenders. Black interior and headliner. But thumbs up on other mods - roof rack, lights, awesome spare tire carrier. Overall a cool, unique car.
Love the build. If constructive criticism is desired, the only thing I would change is to pick a lighter tan for the seat covers. You should just incrementally add on to the thing to make it even crazier. Add the goofy beetle honk. Turn it into a bug-out with the exterior tents that strap on the trunk lids. Make the tire swing out or fold down for a seat.
Wow... looks amazing! Great work. I kind of like the wrinkled look on the seats, make them look lived in and very comfortable looking. Such an amazing build. Can't wait for the next project.
I had my doubts (especially with the blown on rust), but in the end, this is super sick! Nice nice work. It all fits together perfectly. Glad you saw your vision through!
AH YES! Not to knock the sweet tri-toon you've got going, but the Beetle is my favorite project you're up to and I'm happy it's back in another episode. Hope to see this crazy ride in person some day! Great work on it btw. Love how you mixed your own ideas with inspirations from others work.
It's really cool to think that you had a direction, and stayed the course, to create what we see now. This has been an excellent build series, and it really shows that you can do a WHOLE lot more than just painting
Just fantastic Zack. Well done all around. That is one of if not the coolest beetle on the road. Your talent is ever growing. Keep pushing your skills to get better! CHILI’S SPONSOR THIS MAN! Hahahahha
Nice, Zack. Won't you get in trouble with the authorities for the licence plate being obscured? I don't know how your laws operate. In the UK we'd get pulled over immediately. Maybe you can put a plate on the area of the spare wheel? 🤔
It depends on the officer, but I’m assuming this car will grab attention pretty quick so it’s only a matter of time before he gets stopped for it. They’ll probably just issue a warning or write a ticket
Great build! Loved watching the progress from start to finish! You're amazing! The one other thing I was concerned about was pedestrian safety - at the rear. You have a solid piece of metal jutting out from the external spare wheel holder you put together. Here (also in the UK) you could get issued a fine or worse told to remove it...but that aside, my concern is pedestrians. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see your next car project!
I noticed that the tires you pulled of were worn funny so to your point, probably a alignment would be good and just a check over fo the front suspension to be sure it is safe for you would be a good idea. Dont want my favorite TH-camr to get hurt.
Those 1.8t's have rubber charge hoses so they have to kind of inflate to build boost. That's why you'll notice good response while cruising but if you punch it again it will lag. Basically once it has boost it's good but if you use it you will lag the next time.

Great job really enjoy your channel, deffo get wheel alignment done even if u don’t go above 70mph
You inspired me to make my own rebuild channel. Already pumping out videos. It takes a lot of time and makes me respect your grind
Man the seats are so nice. Now let's take it anywhere other than Chili's
Don't come to his house. This means you.
Olive Garden? Or the plethora of other Darden restaurants lol
Definitely don’t take one of Sams whips bound to break down 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂

Those seats make the car look even better. Can't wait to see it haul jet ski scooter build around.
*IS THERE NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO? YOU GET A PERFECT 10 OUT OF 10! 👏👏👏👏👏*
This is so cool! I vote you build a custom, one of a kind, Prius next!
MAJOR WIN on the seat covers! I love them - though I'm biased since that was my suggestion in the comments a while back but really just about any option would be nicer than what was stock. Congratulations on the build being complete too!
Loved the creativity on this build! Did not think it was going to turn out this well when you announced the paint job. PLEASE KEEP THIS ONE!

Awesome build just found your channel and watched all of your builds in 2 days lots of motivation from your content

Can't find the words.... other than WOW !! Great job Awesome job Thank you for sharing.
Those seats look great Zach! Just perfect for the "rust bug". Lol! Probably need those tires balanced if it is vibrating at a set speed.

The whole car is so unique and one of a kind!! I’ve loved watching this whole series and it sure was a fun thing to watch! Congrats
Wow... looks amazing! Great work. I kind of like the wrinkled look on the seats, make them look lived in and very comfortable looking. Such an amazing build. Can't wait for the next project.
An amazing project. Congratulations. It turned out beautifully!
The beetle came out SICK. Loved watching this series.
Great build!!... love the seat covers!!.. all around.. awesome.. just awesome!!
I had my doubts (especially with the blown on rust), but in the end, this is super sick!
Nice nice work. It all fits together perfectly. Glad you saw your vision through!

Fantastic build. Great fun. Thank you.
Seats looks great ,awesome color.
Looks amazing.. Great job.
You should round off those plates you use to mount the roof rack. Those sharp corners can cause a nasty accident.
So sick. Love the seats.
Great job on the build ! as long as you like it thats all that matters ....
Zach - So much work and touch on the fingers! But the seats turned out awesome! Great color choice!
It's really cool to think that you had a direction, and stayed the course, to create what we see now. This has been an excellent build series, and it really shows that you can do a WHOLE lot more than just painting
I am damn near 50 and I would travel from south central Canada to where ever you are in Florida to buy that and drive it home! AMAZING!
Keep It!! - #1 & #2 It's rad. #3 It'll help build your channel with all the attention.
Insane the transformation you did to this thing. You are crazy talented and I love you!
You did a awesome job, very impressed. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!
I’m working on my 2000 1.8l to make it stand out now too. Watched the whole series and loved it. Great job man!
You blew it out of the water with this beetle bro amazing work great vision good seeing it through.
The spare tire mount really turned out cool.
I'm not sold on the color of the seats personally, but it's your ride.
You have crazy skills and a unique creative artistry!
You Should Put a Whale tail Spoiler on the back off a Porsche Man? It would Really finish her off nicely 😁 Great job
Great build inside and out!
Keep it up young man. 👏🏽👍🏽
Just fantastic Zack. Well done all around. That is one of if not the coolest beetle on the road. Your talent is ever growing. Keep pushing your skills to get better! CHILI’S SPONSOR THIS MAN! Hahahahha

Love it. You saw your vision all the way through, great job!
Thank goodness you posted this, i have my reupholstery set and been too scared to install it until now!
Fun project to watch and turned out great! I hope to see more car projects on the channel.
Looks great Zach🤠 nice job on the whole shebang
Take a heat gun to your seat covers where the wrinkles are. The heat will tighten the leather right up and look great 👍🏼 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing work as always. I had my doubts at the start of the build, but you've knocked it out of the park with the final outcome!
I have a Stage 1 tune on my Turbo Beetle and it was the best thing I've done to the car; it really wakes the car up.
Great series. Looks great.
Seats look great! Nice color choice.
Love the car I’m ready for the pontoon build
Love it. You did a great job.
Great stuff heck of a job
Amazing transformation! Great display of your abilities!
I love everything about it and everything you have done to it well done zack 👍
That is one nice ride. I hope you do keep it a long time.
I had doubts in the beginning but now, superb!
Another fun build to watch, keep them coming!
This has been a great build series - such different way of building one but its turned out amazing!
It would be great if you got a SEMA invite to show it off. A fabric steamer will help with the leather wrinkles.
Love the beetle bro. Keep it up with this cool projects
Fantastic build/ DO get a front end alignment. Even thought you don't feel vibration it is still there and ruining your tires.
Great Build! Loved this series 👍🏾🤘🏽
Your great because you built a unique beetle, keep doing that, love it a lot!
Looks great,keep it going.
It gets better with every change! Congrats!
it's been a great project Zack. I'm glad you are happy with how your dream came together.
Nice job buddy! Thanks for the great videos.
When you lift something you’re supposed to get a alignment
Steam will help with the wrinkles.. So will just leaving them out in that hot Florida sun.. They look good!
You were an inspiration for me to make my own channel!
The total build looks sick.
Love it.
Nice job -- looks great … great ride
Just bought Baja bob and will be taking some pointers from this video 👍
all it needs is the APR INTAKE, APR DOWNPIPE, APR TUNE and CARPLAY Stereo and its perfect.
Spare tire on the roof rack? Great fun build. I hope you get to enjoy it a lot!
Fantastic build 👏 well done
Love the color, they looks great 👍🏾
Awesome build Zach loved it
I noticed that the tires you pulled of were worn funny so to your point, probably a alignment would be good and just a check over fo the front suspension to be sure it is safe for you would be a good idea. Dont want my favorite TH-camr to get hurt.
Great build, it deserves the attention it gets!
It turned out pretty good, I like it, the wheels are tires set it off..
Fantastic job well done Zak
Love it, just curious about your license plate being obscured could that be a possible ticket?
Seats look good man. It is a fun ride
Loved it keep bringing awesome content man!!!
Very cool. Nice work.
Those 1.8t's have rubber charge hoses so they have to kind of inflate to build boost. That's why you'll notice good response while cruising but if you punch it again it will lag. Basically once it has boost it's good but if you use it you will lag the next time.
You put some hours in this one for sure.Great job.
Look into a product called steel it for painting all your black parts. I use it for everything plus you can weld through it
Great job looks awesome
