DIY BEETLE CONVERTIBLE 1976 - how it's made

Volkswagen Beetle 1976, 1200J, 25 KW.
A video documenting more or less, all the phases of making a custom convertible beetle out of a hardtop one.
The phases included body repairs, cutting the hardtop, reinforcing the lower structure, car parts replacement, riveting, body parts filling, and painting.
Struga, Macedonia, 2018

Chicos no hagan esto en sus casas. La amoladora siempre con protector de disco y hay que usar gafas. Hay que cuidarse uno y el que este al lado

Well done gentlemen!

[@zoti]

Did you even install any reinforcement in the floor pan? The doors are going to get misaligned soon.

[@giovannifilms6170]

Yes of course, you can see that in the video.
