$1,000 Turbo Car Gets Transformed!

[@MichaelKTV]

That was quite the score. Definitely MUCH cooler! 🙌

Great update on the VW! It looks great and looks like you had a fun weekend doing it as well! You can never go wrong with a little time wandering at the junkyard!!

[@hellslayer9638]

It was an exceptionally goodcar for single owner , good engine enough space and power with good mileage . We need cars like beetle again , SUV looks just hunk of metal going down the road with just no design .

[@albertoalvarez8366]

Install the hood sound deadner, a TDI is a noise hell

[@LinusCloudbuster]

You should have grabbed those door panel, you could sell them for $$ to offset repairs. The car looks better with just the steel wheels. Those aftermarket hubcaps look so generic, especially given they don’t have the vw logo.

[@alessioacri.]

the fact is that I believe these are the oem hubcaps, just the vw logo has fallen out

[@amandastyles-uh6zx]

You didn't want the cool wing off the blue beetle?

[@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds]

I did think about it lol

[@mbj4885]

Should have grabbed it 😢

[@Uriel.Almeida]

You did a great job ! Watching your videos from Brazil. 👏

[@andward1285]

loved this video, this car is very underrated

[@ewenlittle5053]

Nice work making your car that little bit better 👍🏻 I am updating a 2002 1.8T Beetle that looks a LOT like yours over here in Aberdeen, Scotland

[@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds]

Love that! Keep on working on it!

[@EverydayCars]

Should have grabbed new rims at the junk yard. Would have made it look a lot better.

[@alessioacri.]

for real

[@siamiam]

it turned out quite nice

[@steventopping106]

I really enjoyed the scrapyard content. I've got a new Beetle but it's the 5C Fender Edition. Love these 👍

[@sohaibtoumi9145]

junkyard build are the best

[@sebdries]

Take the door cards and sell them, try the ducktail - could look neat in flat black

[@jordankapsar]

I would've pulled the wing off of the blue beetle at the first yard, that would've looked sweet.

[@Ali-bz9gd]

Dude, you didn't grap them wheels?

[@Nabil-b4d]

Good job,i like Volkswagen car

[@Kozak_Ivan]

Wow, your car looks very nice!

[@smittysmat7826]

Nice! I have the exact same car. Same year same color…except mine is a 1.8L gas turbo. Bought it in 2000 as a low miles dealer demo. After somehow surviving all these years(including being the first car for my two daughters) it’s now my non-ending hobby project. It’s def more of a labor of love than a practical endeavor, as I prob should have abandoned that silly money pit years ago. But I refuse. Besides, I’ve spent way too much in replacement parts to turn back now. I’m currently looking to start addressing the dilapidated interior. The interior plastics used on these are among the worst quality I’ve ever seen. Just awful. Tip: Full sets of the hubcap badges are available super cheap on eBay…or at least used to be.

[@venomdealer790]

are junkyard stuffs free? or do you have to pay for them?

[@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds]

No you have to pay. Some small stuff they don’t charge at my local U pull it

[@tiagofigueiredo2529]

A 1.9TDi isn't cool in the wrong hands. 😎

[@markellii3093]

So making a car cool is just optioning it out?

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

Did you transfer the hood pad off, the old hood to the new one?

[@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds]

I did not!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

@@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds The padding helps with engine noise at hwy speeds.

[@rsharedmx]

va armando perron. saludos

[@JDBARNES123]

The Black Steelies are cooler imo

[@Heidegaff]

Why not take the alloys off one of those three Beetles instead of painting and reinstalling those shitass looking hubcaps on the steelies?

[@BeloshapkaAutoBuilds]

💰💰budget

[@Nerosagi]

She's beautiful

[@StraightLineCycles]

Paint it flat black
