    I am eager to hear your thoughts on this film and the build in general. I had issues with footage, audio, parts, everything that I needed to take 6 months away just to clear the mechanism. And, I have to say, I enjoyed editing this one the most. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, consider subscribing or joining our UA-cam Group here - airkewld.co/YTVW2023 💀

      Since your eager to hear my thoughts 🙂Id love to watch this series because it looks like great content. But the going from music thats to loud (so i turn it down) then to what your saying (now its low so I turn it up) is way to much hassle. I could read the subtitles but then im not watching what your doing. So I wont be subscribing but I do wish you great success on the build. Looks like you have a very nice shop and that you know what your doing.

    Asking for a little volks prayer, after 20 years+ I’m about to start a project with my son ( like my father did with me ). A 57’ on a 70’ pan. I hope I remember the lesson’s he pasted on to the next generation! Thanks for the reminders & showing the tricks & advance on the little things.

    Pete, this is a fantastic tutorial for anyone rebuilding their Beetle/Ghia chassis. I wish this had been posted when I was rebuilding mine. The transformation of that chassis is incredible - it's too nice now to put a body on it!

    I know you already made a video of you spring platr for lowering rear suspension for swing type rear axle... but you didn't made one for raising it for baja application. I hope you could make one...Thanks.

  • @vayabroder729
    @vayabroder729 Рік тому +1

    This is killer work you guys do. The chassis and suspensions in these cars have always been definitely neglected and more often than not take a backseat to big motors, paint, interior, nice transaxles and accessories and upgrades and they are not even serviced when restoring a car. The chassis is your foundation and is the most important part of your car, sort of like the roofing in a building. If your foundation is lacking everything else goes to hell.

    I wonder how hard it would be to install an either a 901 transaxle (type 4 Porsche) or a 915 (from a 911) into this chassis.
    I have a 72 beetle that I want a high output type 4 or a 3.2 911 in to my beetle.

    I have question about a clutch cable....I got the old one out but i cannot get the new one into the hole to push it in to hook it up and wonder if there is a easy way to do that ? I have been trying to get this clutch cable in for about two weeks now and still cant do it. Is there a trick to it or some easier way to get that in ?

    • @AirkewldVWs
      @AirkewldVWs  7 місяців тому

      Depending on the year will depend on the location of where the cable will enter. backhanding the cable by feeling for the tube and routing it by hand has always worked in the past. You can try installing one of these - www.airkewld.com/Chassis-Inspection-Plate-Kit-2701-p/2701.htm and it will make it a breeze. Good luck.
