[@vayabroder729]

So impressed that this car is in such great shape. It has been taken care of perfectly and you’re doing an absolutely beautiful job of refurbishing what’s damaged while keeping it mostly original. Thank you for sharing.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it sir. That’s my goal to keep it mostly in original shape 👍👍👍

[@VWJawbreaker]

It’s in great shape! You’ve done some great work so far and it looks like only very little things to finish up. Keep up the great work.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you sir, but the little things taking always a lot off time lol. But I have time and no rush.👍👍

Enjoyed the video. The VW is looking great!

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you sir. It’s always about making choices to do it at the finest, so it last for a long time.

[@SladesVWBeetle]

I just call it a trunk seal. I replaced it on my last one. Your front inner wells look great! That spare tire well is solid! Great video. Thanks for going over it all!

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you slade, I thought it was time to do a upgrade on what’s already done. Yeah I ordered new rails to put the rubber in. Hopefully not to much rust underneath the rail.

[@AircultBerlin]

Very good condition, looks like you can drive the beetle at the next season 😃

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you for the comment👍I hope so, still have a ton off work to do. Especially mechanical stuff.

[@AircultBerlin]

@@VWBEETLEOVAL1955 yes i know, finished a vw 181 and working now an a splitscreen.....the small things take a lot of time! Keep on working !

Looks really nice, my friend!

Thank you sir, I really appreciate it 👍👍👍

In english those are called rubber seals around the hood or bonnet in UK, around the front storage compartment.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

thank you for the translation, i hope you liked the video.

[@1of1RTR]

It would be quite nice if you can save most of the original paint. It's only original once enjoy 🤙🇺🇸

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Thank you for the comment. That’s the idea to keep more then 75% off the original paint.

[@backyardkombi5466]

Do you need to put a topcoat over the Brunox epoxy?

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Yes, after it’s dry. You have to put a topcoat directly over it. Normal paint or anti gravel, no problem at all.

[@caspardelint3511]

Kraalrand is beaded edge in het engels. Wellicht kan je die plakken ipv lassen als je de zaak ontroest.

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Dank je wel Casper voor de juiste benaming👍👍 denk dat ik die er in ga lassen. Heb originele besteld bij VW.

[@bigears4426]

Epoxy what I couldn't understand you , if you don't mind

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Hi big ears, is it the name of the product? Epoxy brunox.

[@mikehammer4546]

Looking great, Q; where do you get your restoration parts from ? Btw; where are your from, your accent sounds like Germany

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

Hi sir and thnx for your comment. The most part I find on sites and fb and eBay. Also I buy the most pieces from BBT Belgium. Yeah I am from belgium, you can definitely hear it lol. But I do my best, it’s only difficult for the technical terms.

[@pfhreaken]

Does anyone know of an easy way to get rid of the glue they used inside of the front firewall (above the pedals and on the inside of the wheel wells) that does not dissolve the paint?

[@VWBEETLEOVAL1955]

have you tried baby oil? let that soak in for a 20-40 min and look if it comes off easily.
