Ah, Chuck Taylor All-stars. The official shoe of air-cooled VW drivers. Nothing else fits!
Always been a fan and worn them for a long time!!
Congratulations with the Beetle.
My uncle also have bugs. He always replace the headlights with these china made jeep headlights. 😂
Thank you so much!! It is a blast to drive!!
So cool! Can’t wait to see what you do with the new project!
Thank you so much. I may have already started ordering parts lol
Congratulations on winning this piece of art 🙂
Thank you!! I agree it truly is a one of a kind piece of art!
Congrats buddy
Thank you I appreciate it!
Can't lie! I was hoping to win this thing but I'm here for the ride! Congrats!
Thanks for checking it out. I have lots of things planned for it to make it my own.
Had no idea this was you that won the beetle. Very rad. Luckily i was already following you on youtube. Good luck on the project.
Thank you! I have a few things I’ll address immediately but it’s a sweet car as is too!
@@piasprojects i love the mk3 variant as well the joker is the perfect special edition. Hopefully my cabrio will be at helen again next year as long as all goes well.
Cabrio’s are very nice and lots of fun! I do hope you can bring it to Helen next year. But also hit up other shows too until then!
Very cool!! Don't touch the paint and patina . But I like the idea of refreshing the interior . Also looks like missing wipers . Should definitely get those . Possibly update the brakes , get a bigger better engine (type IV perhaps) and transmission . Really doesn't look like it needs a whole lot .
I have owned 3 air cooled beetles but not for a long time . When you started it up I didn't realize how much I missed that sound .
Thank you! I agree with you it is VERY COOL! I have no plans to touch the paint or repaint the Beetle, even though 1 insurance company said they wouldn’t insure it unless I did. Interior refresh with some creature comforts for sure. Different wheel options will happen. I really don’t plan on changing the motor, at least not anytime soon. I totally agree at minimum front disc brake conversion. This will be a fun project and cruiser!
Welcome to the aircooled life brother
Thank you so much! I am enjoying learning something new!
@@piasprojects it's all fun along the way, I've been living in China for the past 6 months, my bug is all tucked away safely in the UK. I'm going back for a month Friday.. To do some shows, & just spend time enjoying it again... Watching your first drive is a reminder what I miss about it for sure. 👍🏽
I run a 1600 in my 66 ...but built a type 3 transmission ,short axle for it .....
.89 final drive ratio,75 85 mph not a problem...I suggest you do the same ..
That's awesome. I would like to build the drivetrain down the road. I will be sure to make note of this for a future build option. Thank you.
Turtley enough for the turtle club
Almost for sure!
Yo bro that car looks nice
Thanks man! I really appreciate it!
Vr swap the beetle 🪲 😅
That’s an idea but not anytime soon.
