Perfect. Where did you get these adapter?
I got if from here bro: piterparts.online/pl/przewody-hydrauliczne/714-zestaw-do-stalowych-przewodow-hydraulicznych-zawieszenia-hydracitve-citroen-c5-c6.html It is a polish website but I’m pretty sure that You will find it in other countries as well😁
Awesome ☺️ in the end it looks amazing 🥹
I know, right?😁
How did you power the 12b pump?
There was an ac/dc 230 - 12V adapter in the box with the pump😁
awesome im learning of itt im now restoring my own bug
OMG duude!! You made my day😁 I’m glad that those videos help others that work on their bugs!! What bug do You have??
Nice work! One advice (my personal expereince) - go back to rubber bushings. The urithane bushings have two main disadvantages - 1. The whole front becomes way too hard when driving 2. Urithan lasts 1/4 the time rubber does - when my desintegrated after about 4 years, i replaced them all back to rubber.
hello im from argentina, greetings. i want to ask you where you bought your spairs , the window mechanism too and the interior doors panels, i want to do the same with my b4! amazing video man, i have a b4 and search videos in internet all day to learn new things about this car.
It looks amazing!
I feel exactly the same about it!!😎
alot of the ecus on saab turbos where modified with resistors on the right side of the sircuit board, the ecu sits in the left wheel well when the resistors are added the base boost pressure goes up so its worth cheking if it has the mod
Wheels look fantastic!
Thank You!!😁
Those wheels look great with the baby moon hubcaps! Great choice. You could try clear coating the wheels to slow the rust coming back. 😀👍👍
Thank You bro!! There are special waxes for chrome rims. The chrome stays shiny but it doesn’t rust anymore. I think that I will try to do that😁
Great to see it on it's wheels
I know, right? FINALLY!!😁
Keep going, nice to see your effort to do a god job and keep it on low budget
Looks great! I've got the same problem with rusted chrome rims (were on my '74 SB when I bought it and they were neglected). Thanks for sharing your progress!
Thank You my dude!! There are two ways to deal with that. Rechrome them but that’s expensive or do what I did. I was wondering how to stop them from rusting and I just found out that there are special waxes for that. The chrome stays shiny but it doesn’t rust anymore. Sounds good to me!!😁
@@FarFromPerfectGarage yep, rechroming is WAY out of my price range. Wax, I can do that! LoL!
This channel is underrated 😯
Thank You sooo much bro!! I hope that one day it will blow up and then we will be able to build some crazy stuff!!😁
hoooly crap
I know, right?😁
This project deserves way better set of rims
I understand Your point of view bro but that was my only option now. The other thing is that there is not much to choose from in my country if it goes to that bolt pattern. But don’t worry, we have time for that😁
Dude cool work, keep it going 🤙🏻
Thank You Bro!!😁
Sick
Thank You bro!!😁
Hi, I am Sakib. I saw that you are very serious about UA-cam, But cannot growing the channel. So, I analyzed your channel and saw that In your channel have many problem. If you can solve your videos will get more engagement. If you can give me permission I can tell these problems. . Are you allowed? Waiting for a approve to tell to you!.. If you are interested to listen.
I love watching videos that ressurect SAABS!! amazing...after 10 years of sleep...it woke up and started and ran fine!!
I want to talk to you about your coilovers. Please contact me on the Samba. I'm H2OSB on there
Of course my man!! I just have to create an acount over there😂 I’ve been reading this forum for years but never wrote a word over there😁
Your finger snaps are magic
Thank You bro!! I like to do magic like that😁
I'm totally jealous of your disc brake spindles. My car is a 1303, but I want a set for my suspension soo bad
There was no problem with getting these in my country a few years ago. So I got myself 2 sets just in case😂 You can still buy them today but they cost a lot of money.. It is impossible to get them where You live?
@@FarFromPerfectGarage I'm in California. We did not get disc brakes on any T1 in the States except Ghias, and certainly not Supers, so those spindles are very difficult to find
@johnlist9054 Wow, that’s crazy.. have You concidered buying a kit that converts a drum brake spindle into a disc brake??
@FarFromPerfectGarage I have a CSP vented rotor disc brake kit on my car now. The caliper adapter is very precise. I just WANT disc brake spindles...probably because they're so difficult to obtain. My brakes will function well as they are, but if I can get a set of 1303 disc brake spindles, I will use them with my brake set up
Damn, I've been searching for this kind of Super Beetle content forever! This is the first of your videos I've found. Do you have details of your coilover in another video? I made my coilovers from Porsche 944 struts.
I’m glad that You found my channel!! Welcome to the family bro😁 Oh man, I would love see Your coilovers!!
Your hard work paid off! Very nice! 😀👍👍
Thank You bro!! Exactly!! After doing all of that I finally understood the meaning of those words😁
Awesome stuff buddy lots of love from south Africa Johannesburg 🇿🇦
Thank You sooo very much😁 I’m glad that You like it bro!!
Świetna robota, bracie. Potrzebuję czegoś w mniejszej skali do czyszczenia części rowerowych/motocyklowych. Inspirujący filmik.
Wielkie dzięki stary!! Zasadę działania możesz bez problemu zatrzymać tę samą bo ta myjka spisuje się naprawdę dobrze. Zorganizuj tylko mniejsze pojemniki i małym kosztem otrzymasz fajne narzędzie do pracy. Powodzenia w tworzeniu!!😁
Great work again
Thank You bro!!😁
Like your work and thought process bro! Keep up the good work.
Thank You sooo much bro!! I’m trying my best😁 Comments like Yours are extremely motivating and they always make me want to work harder on my goals!!
Nice! I'm working on a '74 SB and am really enjoying your progress/encouragement. Rock on fellow beetle dude!
Oh man, thank You so much for that comment bro!!😁 This is going to be a hybrid actually because I’m joining together 1970 SB chassis with 1974 SB body using 1973 SB parts😂 what are You currently working on with Your beetle?
@@FarFromPerfectGarage Still taking it apart! fixing rust, rebuilding the doors (fixing a little rust and putting all new rubber seals, channels, regulators, etc.) It needs it all! Like you say, it won't do itself, so I try to do something every day! Thanks.
did you order parts from BBT ? that's in my country , Belgium!
No my dude, I ordered them in Polish store with beetle parts and I guess they have some parts from Your country because I got a few BBT parts😁
Looks really good 👍
Thank You bro!!😁
yayyyy
I know, right?😁
Awesome stuff buddy lots of love from south Africa Johannesburg
Very nice work
Thank You bro!!😁
You’re such a genius bro you got them ideas you’re Really smart
Thank You bro!! I’m trying my best here😁
COOL. THIS REALLY BUILT. NOT BOUGHT...
Exactly bro!! I’m very happy that I decided to build those coilovers😁
@@FarFromPerfectGarage Can't wait for next Sunday video
CongratulationSaab! Thank U 4 did it runn again... I like so much this Brand cars, Best regards!
Dziękujemy.
That car is very cool
Legendary Beetle at this point🔥
Beetle FTW
Exactly bro!!😁
THIS ! Not good for me. Because I also want a bug in my garage ASAP 😅😅😅
😂😂😂 so maybe it’s time to do something about it!! What do You think about that bro?😁
Awesome! Looking forward to the next one!
Thank You my man!!😁 I’m working on the next one right now😎
@@FarFromPerfectGarage I learned to drive in my mom’s brand new 1973 Super Beetle. I have very fond and deep memories of that car. I can still remember that distinct smell now, 50 years later!
That is sooo cool man!! My black super beetle is from that year! But it’s faaaaar from being new😂 When I got it, years ago, I was wondering how was it to drive it when it was new. I envy You a bit now😁
I could not stop laughing at all the issues you had to face to get it started. However, I liked you patience and tackling one issue at a time. Bravo! I love the car. I assume you may have a defective relay for the fuel injectors or fuel pump which is under the panel, but not sure if it on the passenger side. I love the sound too!

top stuff ! very well documented ! love your little channel !
Thank You bro!! I hope that it’ll grow, I would love to have it biiiig😁
