Keeps me motivated as always. Finally saved up $5K for my 69' resto in May. It's going to be alot of work but I'm excited. Looking for the same color combo. Gunmetal gray and red Tweed interior. Thanks Chris. These videos are on point 👌

Thank you

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Chris Vallone Very welcome! Your channel is amazing. It’s nice to see someone follow their dream and make it a way of life. You put a lot of effort into what you do. And never gave up. I remember your older video, I think it’s like a podcast that someone did and interviewed you. That’s always interesting to hear of someone that followed their dream and ended up successful and happy!

Ótimo trabalho, adoro todos os fuscas o meu é 1986.

[@glotube1028]

I don’t mean completely left alone. Like cleaning and detailing and fixing the mechanicals. New top etc. no mean intent just a conversation on when and what do you do when you have solid patina original. What do you think?

[@classicvwbugs]

Depends how far the patina is. I have a limit, just like everyone else. It's to your liking.

[@James.1_2-3]

Amazing restoration! Can you restore my marriage?

[@classicvwbugs]

Hahah! Ah man, stop by the shop, it can be therapy to you. ;o)

I live in Argentina and I have a 1957 vw oval beetle, I am in the process of being restored, I am fascinated by that color, would you be so kind as to inform me of the paint code? Thank you very much !!

@@classicvwbugs Thanks !!

[@imanmaulana8527]

Is oval windows don't have indicator fuel bar?

[@glotube1028]

I love your resto and videos but I think that one should of been left alone. They are only original once. Beautiful car Man!

[@classicvwbugs]

It wasn't all original tho. It was painted black at one time over ultra maroon, had the incorrect bullet front fenders, and wrong rear tail lights. I do agree tho, if something survives the years and has minimal rust and never any kind of resto whatsoever, then I agree, leave it alone.

[@glotube1028]

Chris Vallone I didn’t know that it had been painted etc. keep up the good work Chris, love the videos.

[@classicvwbugs]

@@glotube1028 Thank you my friend.

[@DevilMagu]

[@debbiezambardi3757]

Was this painted with OEM color, is it metallic?

[@classicvwbugs]

Yes OEM. And the original color was metallic, yes.
