I updated the details, just saw that Amazon still has them. Been running this solution for 5 years now, not issues.

Hey Keith, sorry to be delayed on this response. Along my labor of love of this restore, I constantly asked my departed owners "what would you do" for paint, not staying stock on this or that, should I spend for X, on and on, they were with my whether they wanted to or not. You know, probably not, but in spirit and my heart their memory is kept alive, until the bug hit the streets. Now there is a whole other chapter, people just love the bugs, so my departed family members get the love, not me, its for them. They gotta be happy with that outcome. For some reason they loved their bug, and now I do!!! I wish you tons of enjoyment, greasy hands, busted knuckles and googling Samba on your journey and destination for your bug. It is well worth it when you want to take a drive. You will be someone in your bug, when you get into your other daily driver you will be invisible/just another car, such an odd thing this bug world is. What part of Florida? Am near Miami.

@@CapnTimbo Thx for response! Lots of love and respect for that! I live at the beaches near Clearwater!

Many thanks, I really appreciate your note, never gets old hearing from a beetle lover.

Ha, had no idea, my son picked it up at a junkyard, I never looked into it. Any idea what is behind the change by VW, more air or firmer design, or?

Thanks a bunch, just a joy to drive and the smiles from everyone makes it all worth it!

You are great at making videos …. Pineapple princess helps a little to counterbalance the surreal feeling of Justin not being here anymore ….. My other brother recently moved to Maui ….. I went there twice with my family when I was young ….. beautiful place…. The video was so quirky and cute …. It reminded me of something Justin would have created ……. And to see the Volkswagen he spoke of to me ……. For years…….. to see you guys bring it back to life was very uplifting…. Thank you and make some more videos ….. (happy ones:). Best to you and Shelly…….

Was one of the greatest …. I’ve met a mere handful of truly wonderful people in my lifetime ….. and he was definitely, positively….. one of the great ones ……. I am forever severely humbled ……. So so to the others closest to him….. I just found out yesterday….. and I’m so sorry …..

So sorry for everyone who knew him and all those who didn’t get the pleasure to …..

John, thanks a bunch for nice note, turns out this was only the beginning, "Timothy is working on the bug" has become a typical response from my wife when someone is asking where am I! But everyone loves the bug and it's a blast to drive, well worth the effort. You got a bug or getting one?

Thanks for watching Rob. The super trained eye will notice the engine bouncing at the stop sign, forgot to add the Bowden tube, NEVER forget it or you will rattle your teeth out.

Ese fue un comentario muy agradable, y gracias por su aprecio por el trabajo de amor puesto en este auto, representa a las personas que amamos y extrañamos.

¡Muchas gracias por mirar y por el agradable comentario!

@@CapnTimbo Estoy aprendiendo mucho de su video, mañana entra mi vw sedan 1998 a pintura y luego vamos poco a poco con los detalles!!

@JACR Me alegro de que estés obteniendo valor del video, algunas de las tomas que usé eran cosas de las que se habla en línea y quería mostrar cómo lo logré.

Gracias por los buenos comentarios. He estado 'restaurando' este error durante 4 años, el fin de semana pasado reemplazamos el transeje original (que desearía que se hiciera cuando hicimos la restauración) y ahora el automóvil es mucho más silencioso y suave, ahora es básicamente un automóvil nuevo. Le deseo lo mejor en la restauración, aprenderá mucho, lo que ayuda cuando llega el momento de realizar el mantenimiento, como los ajustes de válvulas. Te ayudaría pero vivo demasiado lejos. Te deseo mucho éxito y que disfrutes de tu bicho :-)

Andrew, at this time we our doing a mobile lifestyle, once we are back in a house then would love to work on another bug.

Wilbur, I did not have access to a sandblaster but that would be preferred. I used airplane paint stripper and just kept brushing it into the cracks as far as possible. Then used a pressure washer with the highest pressure and narrowest nozzle and gave it hell. The issue at that point was going to be rust so as soon as it looked dry sprayed a bunch of pain prep using a nozzle into the area. It was not like that very long after that we primed and painted it. It's been a few years since we painted it, not seeing any issues in this Florida humidity and salt air.

@@CapnTimbo thanks so much for your response, like I said was just making a list of all the areas that need work (a lot sadly) but most were areas that had easy access so thanks again for the advice

Funny story, the car spent most of its life in Seatle, my older brother spent 4 weeks in Kauai after Iniki doing insurance stuff and brought back the sticker, the funny thing is there is an earlier post here from a DJ at that radio station at the same time my brother was there.

@@CapnTimbo nice work BTW, hopefully you are still enjoying your ride. I have a 66 bug on Kauai and appreciate watching the vid. ✌️

Thank you for the kind words, there is a little bit more to the story, I inherited the car from my son when he passed and did not know what to do with it, not a car rebuild guy. My wife and I were on Maui and I was walking and happened across a rebuilt 66 in a parking lot and was curious. Eventually found the owner working in a restaurant and he motived me to rebuild the car. 2 years ago in Maui I found him again and let him know he was my inspiration. Hawaii been my happy place since 1987, respect, respect, respect for your world Bradda! Will be in Big Island soon and this kane is jonesin for some dakine that will broke da mouth!!! Fudakake chicken....

Consegui encontrar maneiras de manter o ruído baixo fazendo muito dentro da garagem, tive a sorte de ter acesso a uma garagem para 2 carros quase vazia, esse compressor de ar era o pior. Espero que você ainda consiga concluir um projeto, vale muito a pena para mim e para todas as pessoas que amam o Bug!

Es un tesoro familiar, ¡el valor está más allá de lo que alguien me pagará!

Спасибо, мой друг, это было дело любви.

My brother spent a month there writing checks for Iniki when he owned the bug, there is a post here from a guy that was a DJ at the same time my brother was there, small world.

Those fog lamps are the ones that JBugs was offering, to be honest if any bigger I would break them, so many times working on wiring in trunk that I kept knocking them out of alignment, even yesterday while working on the latch, but they do throw a lot of light. The majority dig the rack, beyond that we have used it a number of times to bring stuff to the beach, chairs and cooler.

@@CapnTimbo 👍😄👍😄👍 In the past, in my old VW 1962, I put the fog lamps, under the front bumper, fixed at 90 ° in the front fenders face, near to the center, besides the front license plate.. Greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷

Thank you very much!

Try facebook for beetle groups in your area, they will know.

Thanks a lot

I spent a lot of time on UA-cam getting help on how to do things, there is a ton of video on redoing most parts of the bug, after doing it once and spending another year tweaking things, would do things a lot different, looking back the videos online are right, it was me that needed the experience.

And then moved to Florida, there is quite a bit more support here for old VW's, I found a guy that helped me with all the things we did not get done in Richmond. Now its dependable and gets a lot of waves and stares, I have learned to keep an eye open for someone trying to get my attention to tell me about their bug of years ago while waiting at a traffic signal.

I got them jbugs.com, but I have noticed that amazom.com is carrying quite a bit of classic beetle parts, I got the the same alternator from there that jbugs had for less and quicker.

Thank you, but why oh why am I still working on it every weekend? Because everything I did not get around to in the rebuild, like the bearings, are reminding me they are almost 50 years old, I would do things a bit different next time...

Thank you my friend, the family is happy for the save, and seems bug lovers where we live are too, its a rare day we go driving that someone does not stop us to tell about their bug stories, did not see that coming.
