Thank you. The offical name for the colour is Tomato Red.

Haha why is that? Audio? Accent?

Thank you for watching and following along. They never came with reverse lights. I know this because the light cluster, originally, never had a clear section for reverse lights. Also, the gearbox does not have a switch for reverse in it. I have ordered a full kit to fit this. I have already fitted the rubber strip to the front bumper with overriders. Not sure I'm doing the same to the rear. As for the chrome stripes in the window seals...it may happen at some point, I just know they're awful to fit. Thanks again for the comments and watching.

Cheers Robert. It's getting there.

Thank you

Thank you, Robert. Hope to get some miles under the belt soon.

Thank you. I'm trying to get ready for my first car show next weekend. Hopefully I make it in one piece lol.

It's very straightforward and neat.

@@GT.Bugger When I bought the washer bottle, it didn't come with all the hardware like yours did. I got it over 20 years ago. I need to buy all the parts to install it. I have a few items.

The only hardware it came with was the nut and bolt to hold it in place.

I did consider silver but wanted to hide some of the heavier pitting on the rear bumper. May do silver on the front as it's not so bad.

Thank you, Slade 😊

Thank you! Looking forward to people's reactions when I take it to a show

Thank you so much for following along. But the journey isn't over, still work to be done.

Thank you, Martin. It's far from perfect, bit I'm almost at the point where I can now make it my own.

I 100% plan on having an MOT done. I'm just trying to get some confidence that it's not going to burst into flames down the road.

Thank you

Really appreciate that, means a lot from you. Thank you for taking the time to watch.

@@GT.Bugger you’re very very welcome brother. I hope you have been doing well. I need to catch up on your channel.

Yeah, I've been good, thank you. I'm just slowly trying to get this car complete and on the road. It's starting to look like it might just happen. How have you been? I didn't see many videos from you until recently?

Thank you. Can't wait.

Thank you! It actually surprised me at how good it's looking!

Ok, so there's definitely something a miss then as that's as far back as it seems to let me go. I will have to check the holes on the seat runner and make sure it's in the first one as that would mean it's fully in its back position. I know there should be some reclining on it also. Thanks for the advice.

Not sure about that. Still needs a fair bit. Shocks, anti roll bars, wiper motor linkage, fuel tank pipes and breather hoses, etc. Also needs more tuning. But it'd definitely getting closer

@GT.Bugger atleast your on the home straight now. I'm going to the tvr season opener next Sunday and over 300 tvr's expected.

That sounds fun. Hope the weather is good for you.

Thank you. Getting closer and closer to being back on the road.

I was being generic as the headliner will fit all years around the 70's.

Yes, she's the perfect VA for Aerith.

Thank you! It was definitely a learning curve. I also look forward to having a complete interior. Glass will be going in soon.

It wasn't too bad. Could have done a better job but it is what it is.

Yeah, it's different and very close to the seat colour, as you say. I have ran into some issues though...

Thank you! It's about to get real interesting soon.

Thank you Aaron, had some difficulties with this one, but it wasn't because of the kit lol. I'm looking forward to sharing the headliner with everyone. Hopefully that'll be the next video. Thanks for watching.

It was a bit of a struggle to get it to pop open. Are these available?

@@GT.Bugger Your local hardware store should have a strong spring available.

@@GT.Bugger ua-cam.com/video/zMDvBJoeOHo/v-deo.html

I looked about, and they're only available when you replace the bottom side of the handle.

@@GT.Bugger Did you watch the video??

Yeah, some of it is pretty weird, lol. Thankfully, it's all working now, and I can make it as tidy as I'd like.

Thanks Corey, took a long time to get it this way. Hopefully back on the road soon.

Thanks for watching 👍

Hi Alan, Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. All criticism is welcome, I would like to grow my channel and anything that I can do to improve the videos I will try my best to do. As it happens, you're not alone in this. And I've already purchased a microphone. Hopefully, it'll make viewing less jarring.

Great effort mate, keep up the good work your doing there, regards Alan.@@GT.Bugger

That would be amazing. I only have the horn and brake lights to get working now. And as I say, it was all working at one point, so hopefully, it's an easy fix. I did send the original loom to be replicated, but it seems like the new one has a lot of additional stuff that I don't need. Looking back, I wish I had got one from elsewhere. Really appreciate you following along. Hopefully one day soon it'll be back on the road.

Doesn't everyone say these cars are simple and easy to work on, though 🤪

Thank you, I've listed parts before. Unfortunately, there's not that much of a classic beetle following where I live, so I'm unlikely to find the parts a new home. Appreciate you coming back and commenting.

Thank you, I already have the malpassi fuel regulator on the firewall where the original diagnostic box used to be. The electric pump will definitely help on startup when it's been sat a little while. Thanks for watching and commenting as always👍

Hi Jack, thank you for watching, appreciate the comment. Do you have any videos? Love to see other GT's. Which colour is yours?

@@GT.Bugger I've got vwcocos old yellow one now! And yeah been watching your vids for a while before i got my GT, gotta do video update on it soon but did put a short video up of it! Got yours looking ace now man bet ya buzzin

@fpvjack oh cool, I knew he was looking to sell. Did he sell with the original engine? Think he was going to swap it. Does it have the correct gearbox also? I am pleased with how mines turning out, been a long time and a big expense but it's getting closer to being back on the road all the time.

@@GT.Bugger niceee be ace when its road ready, and yeah i swappped my hydro 72 for it, has original gearbox but 1300 put in it..

@@fpvjack couldn't understand why he did that.

It certainly makes the difference getting all these parts on the car.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi Larry, I'd have to say, unless it has hidden structural damage...buy that bad boy, they're pretty rare. Does it have the original luggage?

Did you buy???

@@GT.Bugger ... Yes ! ... It's a bit of a project. Its has bumpers, and trim removed, tagged, and stored inside the wagon ... The body is rust & blemish free, and has some primer areas ... So, needs finish prep, then paint & reassembled ... Was reading, of the 44K or so wagons that year, only some 2500 were Gucci's ... Has the gold Gucci badges, and every piece of trim, including the roof rack ... Everything functions too ... 232, one barrel, automatic, tilt wheel with sporty steering wheel & power steering... Iconic Gucci colors, including Gucci print headliner ... All in great condition ... It's white, but found my thought of a near Pea Soup Green or Moss Green, would work good with the interior ... There was two greens offered that year, and may chose one or go with my first thought ... Best regards ...

That's great! Congratulations.

@@GT.Bugger Thank you for the inquiry and kind response ... Oh, I forgot, front disk breaks ... And independently reclining front seats ... Regards ...

That's cool. It's great to hear you use yours daily. I'm not too sure I'll be doing that, though. Thank you for watching and dropping a comment.

@AllisonSandra-hh9fn Sandwich, Kent

Thank you

Hi mate, I just watched your latest video. I'm not sure if you know, but I'm unable to comment or have notifications turned on..think it's due to you selecting it's safe for children. Just wanted to let you know.

@@GT.Bugger cheers mate, think I’ve sorted it, my UA-cam skills are useless

@@davegiller5303 looks to be working. Your beetle looks amazing

Good to know. They obviously reduce the risk of rot over the original channel. So there were multiple reasons for me to go this route.

@@GT.Bugger Its the best seals to use. More folks should be using them, to avoid rust issues down the road, even on show cars.

Thank you for all the support.
