1969 VW Beetle 'Helen Wheels' Project; Episode 12 - Passenger Side B-Pillar Repair
Episode 12 - Passenger Side B-Pillar Repair
As always, before we get started - this is a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Restoration Project, named Helen Wheels. This restoration began in October 2020 and officially finished October 2024. All the footage you see is from past Reels and Posts shared to my Instagram page - @annies_vw
I am not a professional and only offer these videos for entertainment purposes only.
In this episode, I’m tackling the passenger side B-pillar repair on my 1969 Beetle. Like the luggage tray corner repair, this was a repeat of work I previously did on the driver’s side. While tricky due to the lack of aftermarket parts, with some patience and persistence, it came together nicely. The footage is re-released from my Instagram reels, edited into a montage format with helpful tips and tricks added throughout.
What to expect:
• Passenger side B-pillar repair on a 1969 VW Beetle
• Overcoming challenges with custom fabrication due to unavailable parts
• Re-released Instagram footage, now repackaged for UA-cam
• Tips on staying patient and resourceful in restoration projects

1969 VW Beetle - diagnosing noise from rear wheel assembly
Переглядів 1,3 тис.6 місяців тому
This video is for entertainment purposes only. Come along as I chase down a noise coming from one of the rear wheels. Sorry for the video formatting I usually only produce content for Instagram, but this could be helpful for others chasing down noises from their own wheel assemblies. Hope this helps! • Good news is we’ve found the source of the clicking! Even better news is it isn’t the bearing...
Will She Run?? - VW - Type 1 - 1600
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 роки тому
Ready to give this engine rebuild a start! Will she run? This is my first engine rebuild and I've been really pleased with how things have gone. Full disclosure, while I do have it starting up and running I still have a way to go in terms of really tuning things in. It's currently running a bit rich and I'll need to look at jet combinations, etc., to really get it tuned in correctly.

    I wish I had found your channel sooner, Facebook brought me here somehow today, and I spent the evening watching the videos through this one. Great work! I remember when I counted on my 69 Beetle for daily transportation, and your struggle to get the carb tuned brought back many memories for me. Thank you for that. At least you didn't have to have the car running to get you to work the next morning! I look forward to watching the rest of your series.

    Hi Annie. I seriously doubt there’s a single person who woke up one morning and was proficient at metal finishing. I felt like you were a tad hard on yourself on this one. Remember, built not bought 👍🏼 You should see my first attempt at welding, Frankenstein 🤣🤣🤣 and I still can’t mig to save my life. I just don’t see the puddle through the mask even if watching another persons doing it. It’s got to be super dark and filtered for my eyes.

    Hi Annie and greetings from Western Australia where it's 40 degrees C and too hot to work outside. That looks like a pretty neat repair to me. I'd be happy if it was on my car. I have found people can be really rude and even downright nasty on Instagram but I find UA-cam a much more friendly platform. I now produce a lot more content on youtube than Instagram. Although my content is quite different to yours it's still home DIY related and I get heaps of encouragement and support from it. I like the way you've put these videos together with a piece to camera in the middle. It works well. I'm currently following Fender's progress on Insta. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I think you are doing a great job. If you have not looked, go to Soup Classic Motoring and watch his lotus rebuild. His rust repair is pretty much the same. Also "Mercedes Maintenance" is doing rust repair on old 108 and 109 Mercedes. Lots of good stuff at both sites. Keep up the great work and ignore the know it alls.
