It shocks me that you would even look at this old car, let alone set out to restore it. I have never seen that much rust damage in my life! Great work!
Awesome..👏👏 i was hoping u get to it . Kept checking for this.Hopefully we ll see it finished. Hate half way projects.i got my cellar conversion,tanking etc. I can’t get to it over a year.Everyday going down to look at it,im making myself sick so i finally make the for a start.! U finishing this project maybe the spark that i ve been waiting for.😂
I’m so glad I found your videos. Every since I was a teen, I always wanted to do it. Now I’m old and know I won’t do it it’s great to see step by step how to do it. Thanks
I have to give you credit for the time and patience that you have in order to remove and replace parts on this car, the man hours have to be through the roof so I see that it is your love for the work that keeps you going and I admire your ethic keep up the good work 👍👌.
G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 terrific job especially considering the condition the car was in, good to see I really enjoyed watching it and look forward to the next instalment kind regards John
Of all the people’s cars or Volkswagen you been working on the one I’m most excited about you finishing is the karmann ghia it’s always been my favorite type of car
How would we say CT... crusty rusty xD It's been a long time since i commented but always a pleasure seing you to bring some love to old rusty cars. Keep going!:3
Oh my God, tons of rust! Easy to understand why the introduction of zinc - plated and aluminium bodies was a milestone in the history of the automobile!
I guess what we will see once the bodywork is finished is a "Franken - Beetle", consisting of an estimated 60% original body material and 30% stitched together. But it works!
Boom >1:15, CT hits the gas !! .... hey what's the deal with Sandusky OH ? Bring your bus there Columbus Day Weekend and take the Ferry to Kombi's on Kelley's Island.
Dude you do an excellant job and great videoing. Only critic I have is that when you do talk, you repeat yourself 3 and 4 times saying exact same thing. We understood the first time. Loving the build and man the motor is awesome! Going to be a beautiful ride
nice work , i saw you made a stand for the body to move easily one thing i feel could injure you in the future is the lower middle flat pillar of the stand is a bit extended towards the rear maybe if you cut the extended part and polish the sharp edges on the remaining area it might save some ones feet from getting hurt . big fan of your work.
When you were extracting the rusted door hinge screws you should have used an open-end wrench on your square shafted screwdriver to turn the screw while you pushed in on it with your other hand on the screwdriver's handle. That's why they make square shafted screw drivers.
trick with seam sealer, keep the finger wet and the sealer doesn't stick to the finger & you get a nicer seam. learned that when I was sealing the bottom of doors in our bodyshop where I worked. Did the first one and one of the bodymen told me that & the other 3 went much better.
I think you need to look up the definition of "FULL BUILD" "COMPLETE PROCESS" and START TO FINISH. Wasted 4 hours and still haven't seen a full build or complete process. Your titles are very misleading. Won't be watching your channel again.
I personally don't like VW Beetles that much, but since you're doing a great job on that one, I'd get rid of all that surface rust and would give it a decent paint job!
You are doing a great job. Especially considering how bad this one is. Well done. I would however brace it up better with cross bracing etc. Yes it gets in the way but hold thing in place.
При работе с отрезными , шлифовальными машинками надо защищать или снимать стекла. Искры падающие на стекла прилипают, а при удалении капель искр со стекол оставляют оспу на поверхностях! Высечкой, при вырубывании отверстий в резине, надо опираться на срез брусков дерева, так волокна дерева не заминают кромки высечек ,а отверстия получаются идеально ровными ,без заусенец!
so much rust...im not sure if the rest of the car worth to save...i admire ur patience and the focus on the goal...our first car (fathers) was a beattle older than that..(1958.)..was a beast...we gave it for recycle(1990) bcause the floor was very rusty... so much that u could step on the road lol...we should keep it and restore it as u did bcause it was in better contintion...except the floor all the rest parts were like new..anyway good job man im waiting for the painting video now...to see it finished and rdy for the road.
Man ive been watching this since the start, and even though initially i was like "why? just find a bit cleaner chassis!" now i can really see the vision come through. im curious, any chance of you getting that dent out of the rear fender? im starting to really enjoy the patina lol (im a painter and HATE patina) but i can see the vision ! are you going to clearcoat over the rust to preserve it? as for the windows are you going to have them sanded/polished? (did you know this was a thing?) any chance of you throwing a turbo EJ205 from a WRX in as a powerplant? lol (i know you have a rebuilt engine for this bug lol)
Ça fait des mois que je vous vois restaurer des Beetles mais vous ne faites jamais une peinture et une finition complète… Vous les abandonnez ensuite ? 🤔 Sinon c’est chouette , bravo 👌
Ospho is just 10% phosphoric acid with a few extra ingredients. If you buy phosphoric acid concentration by the gallon you can mix it and save yourself a lot of money.
A ton of work and you do it all by yourself! That's what I like about these videos.
Saame!
Much appreciated! I enjoy the challenge. 👍
I'm in Brazil and I think this restoration is perfect! Congratulations, this is very well done.
Thank you very much! =)
YUP that is right.....keep it up CT
If Mike approves you are crushing it!!!
Thanks for all the tips over the years buddy! =)
You’re such a nice man!
It shocks me that you would even look at this old car, let alone set out to restore it. I have never seen that much rust damage in my life! Great work!
Fantastic detail on heater channel - well played !

Thx for rescue all of the old Beetles. Everyone is a profit for the modern boring Streetview.
Lots of detailed metal work! Great job!
I appreciate that! =) Thank you! 👍😎 👍
My friend, nothing is impossible for you. It just takes a little time. You did a great job, you are amazing.🙌
Thank you so much 😀
Hats off for CT. Since I watched your VW T1 videos, I never thought that you can mobilize such a motivation!
Thanks buddy! =)
@@CTmoog As far as the VW is concerned, you stop at nothing.
No talk/near no talk car resto videos, the unsung heroes of YT!
Thank you for letting us watch!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
@@CTmoog Boy all of that talking in the middle, had to skip over it. Still enjoyed the other parts.
Finally you posted I’ve been waiting for this for a month 😭. Keep up the good work.

Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Great Job Sir ❤❤❤❤❤

Nice job sir Nice VW Nice show sir 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😃
A lot of hard work but the outcome I'm sure will be worth it.

Absolutely AWESOME. It's amazing how you save these bugs. Many would simply walk away.
I appreciate that! It's a lot of work! =)
@@CTmoog I am in the UK, but if I were in the USA I'd seriously be making an offer .
I really enjoyed this episode

Já estou ansioso pra ver esse vw pronto
nice work man u should think about opening a school to teach ur way of work 👍
Very great job 👍

Thanks Anthony! Thanks for the tip! 😎
Saludos desde El Salvador muy buen trabajo de restauración felicidades

Hello my friend! =)
@CTmoog Hello, with best regards!!!
My honda element replacing the door latch was incredibly difficult. Finally just got a drill out.
That’s a tough one! Good job getting it done. 😎
Hallo @ CT und danke für deine Nachricht und tschüss aus Deutschland 👍🛠️🆘🇩🇪🇺🇲🆗😁

Are you keeping the outside patina or painting it its original white color?
Keeping the patina for now. I'm looking for one with less rust to paint.
@ are you planning on keeping this car or selling it?
👍😍 Thank you so much
Why do I get the feeling that u have posted this before ?
Hut ab saubere Arbeit😊
Thank you! =)
well done. what was that light green stuff brushed on the passenger inside rear back seat? some anti rust stuff?
That fuzz you find is Horsehair they used it in the seats and any padding in the interior. Yes I have studied those vehicles😂
Lookin good!
Yapıyorsun bu sporu 😂
funny ct have you the t1 bus that is why i watch you
hiya ct wot hapend to the van rusty
Very very good thank you my friend .
feels like I have seen this before? lol. i might be mistaken
Yes, you have seen this before. It a few videos all together from last year.
Really enjoyable.
Hi CT
Now the work is finished. Are you going to get rid of all the rust?
Hi Ct
Are you going to put Primer on it And repaint please?
Is the paint similar to VW color code "L87 Perlweiss" (Pearl White)?
well not really....It's a bit off.
Bonsoir ct nette amélioration concernant les soudures et le façonnage des pièces de tôlerie bon courage pour cette nouvelle année 2025
so much rust...im not sure if the rest of the car worth to save...i admire ur patience and the focus on the goal...our first car (fathers) was a beattle older than that..(1958.)..was a beast...we gave it for recycle(1990) bcause the floor was very rusty... so much that u could step on the road lol...we should keep it and restore it as u did bcause it was in better contintion...except the floor all the rest parts were like new..anyway good job man im waiting for the painting video now...to see it finished and rdy for the road.
CT welding primer between sheets 👍
Man ive been watching this since the start, and even though initially i was like "why? just find a bit cleaner chassis!" now i can really see the vision come through.
im curious, any chance of you getting that dent out of the rear fender? im starting to really enjoy the patina lol (im a painter and HATE patina) but i can see the vision !
are you going to clearcoat over the rust to preserve it? as for the windows are you going to have them sanded/polished? (did you know this was a thing?)
any chance of you throwing a turbo EJ205 from a WRX in as a powerplant? lol (i know you have a rebuilt engine for this bug lol)
Thank you! I appreciate it. Yes, the patina on this one is awesome! I will have to check out the window polish. That sounds like a good idea.
What happened to the swamp dragon??
working on it now. =) Built chassis, new engine.
Super awesome job! What kind of undercoating are you going to spray on the bottom of the car, inside the finders, and frame?
Back in the 80's when i walked into a vw parts store i saw both j tubes original with the heater core. 20 BUCKS for the pair
about 10% of it is now original you must love that old VW to save it.
Door drop often happens because the hinge pins are worn too
Is this Bama or Georgia?
Looks like Georgia
yea the first one that he did the metal work to....Remix. put all the videos together for a full view of the process.
Georgia! =)

Ospho is just 10% phosphoric acid with a few extra ingredients. If you buy phosphoric acid concentration by the gallon you can mix it and save yourself a lot of money.
Try brushing the primer on, gets in easy, thicker and no mask to wear
