Finishing The K20 MR2 VW Bug in 1 Month. [Part 2]

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

I been busy the last couple months but now I'm catching. I love all your videos and still have faith you'll make it. Someone tried to kill me so I'm recovering from the gun shot wounds and I'm glad I have my family and you car guys to help keep my spirits up.

[@jayventransportllc]

Dude!!! Get it done, and done right!!! Have fun doing it and ignore bad or negative criticism

[@anthonyrowell7853]

Your no fun

[@alwynbrown2808]

What he said

[@MrGixxer1300r]

I like the way the rear of the car turned out. If it were mine I would have done the front the same way keeping a stock, but widened look.

[@craigdry9522]

Great job Preston No pressure Love it

[@mohdacir8192]

You know what? The learning process, the trials & errors made it so much more interesting to follow. Ground up no bull build education. Pls keep it up, and stay cool!!

[@jenibond]

OMG! you been working your ass off !!! keep on grinding away can't wait see it run down the quarter !!!!! love jenifer xxxxx

[@soundboydesign1373]

Canada here... your the only person I know to use a fridge or stove metal...like me, it's perfect...keep turning that wrench... one love

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thanks man

[@scottcardwell1664]

We are here for you, and whatever content you throw our way, I've been working on the same car from almost 8 years... so you are still way ahead of the curve in my book....

[@SJ-cy3hp]

@6:56 that jeep is pure insanity!

[@shanewright6958]

It's looking good.. slowly but surely 👍👍🇨🇱

[@VWLifeVW]

that's crazy how they lined up!

[@mechanicundercontract7752]

Your doing AWESOME!!! Much respect!!! Just wish I lived closer to help!!! The way the headlight panels looks like canards…and the rear is artwork. Your an inspiration!👍🏼

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

I still have to say, I am very happy to see fenders :)

[@paulwilliams7816]

In all honesty I like watching the building and modifying seeing what people do to make something work

[@dommoss4264]

Just keep at it, The rear deck lid and the main body look great, I’m not 100% on the rear valance and front hood “yet”! But I can see It’s constantly evolving into what you want and I’m pretty convinced it will look great when your finished. Great work!

[@AlanDavid1955]

HEY PRESTON , KEEP GOING , IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A WORK OF ART ! I PICKED UP A HAYABUSA ENGINE FOR MY DUNE BUGGY , IT'S GOING TO SCREAM , I'M GOING TO START IT JULY 3RD , I CAN'T WAIT ! IT'S TOO BAD WE DON'T LIVE CLOSER

[@garyharms4240]

Oh how we love the body work grind ...it's looking good

[@jacobmarshall3456]

You have everything you need for this channel to blow up, its only a matter of time now, I think you are close! keep up the hard work!

[@Paulman50]

Geez Preston we appreciate your vidios. They aren't easy to make and it really is a high standard of filming.

[@MrLarsgren]

building a car is like building a house. 3rd time is perfect. first time you build from an idea and make all the errors. second time you refined the work and dont make the same errors. 3rd time you have the rhythm and get all the tiny details perfected too. learning the hard way. best way to remember XD

[@micheltremblay4774]

Good things dont come easy. Bodywork is never done, there is always a thing we could have done better. A good wrap will hide a lot. Take care Preston.

[@accoRding2Joel]

One of my favorite KZbinrs. Keep it up bro. I look forward to your videos every time. 💪

[@mattbauman]

A little practice and you'll be golden. Car will go buddy and I'm excited to be there out there with you. The body work is coming along and looking awesome!

[@FangOfTruth]

Hey Preston you are doing just fine. Several KZbin channels I subscribe to have gotten more work and have stopped putting out videos. I commend you for trying your best.

[@joshrobinson702]

Wh i support your channel: You actually put in effort. Loved the black and white slow mo shit hahaha so awesome

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Haha thanks

[@psavel274]

Good choice on the Duraglass. I use it religiously and all the US Chemicals fillers. The Thin Ice as well as the 3M Piranha Putty are great lightweight fillers to top coat the Duraglass and get rid of the small imperfections and pinholes. If you haven't bought the primer already, I'd recommend the Dominion Acid Etch primer. Stuff isn't cheap but it works amazing. After you use the etch, throw some high build on, and then use a guide coat before you block it out. Itll show your low spots well. Nice work dude, getting there quite well. Love the way you widened it and I dig the speed holes. 👍👍

[@Kapil-Patel]

I admire the consistency and dedication you have to improve in all fields. Love the edit. What time do you want to set with the bug, initial goals? Keep crushing it Preston 👍🏽

[@RC3rdparanormal]

Hey man I love that front end on the bug

[@steve-o6060]

You are the most underrated car youtuber out there! Keep it up and they will come (the subscribers)

[@d3115uxor]

bodywork! this is finally becoming the first ever TRUE WIDEBODY bug!! i love your uploads! and you're doing AMAZING!!

[@TheTuttleCrew]

I like everything about your channel! God bless Preston and guys!

[@kimoarmstrong3519]

I think if you use a Baja style roof scoop in some way you can hide some of the roof imperfections. Maybe use it as an air intake.

[@larsaugust1469]

I can't wait to see what you have planned for paint!

[@allenlord3679]

With he had a tub big enough to hydro dip.

[@thomasdavis5]

Very happy to see all the work being done on the bug!!! Lookin crazy!!! In a totally good way!✌🍻

[@brettohalloran3152]

Looking awesome brother can't wait to see it finished

[@wurthmannd024]

My mom said she enjoyed your call. So I'm liking the video (been subbed for a hot minute) love the content bro!

[@CJLeTeff]

Hey Preston, it’s all good brother, we enjoy the projects! You’re doing stuff majority of us will never do! 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍👍

[@derPetunientopf]

That uneven roof was a sore wound. It makes me happy to see it coming together. The rest also looks promissing but one month sounds still pretty ambitious.

[@race-all]

Hey man your a hard worker. Don't apoligize your fine. Your skills continue to go up. Your a good dude.

[@redman715]

Love the content bud lets all finish the bug together!!!

[@georgewallace3106]

Back in the day I had 26 Volkswagens from buses to beetles so needles to say I enjoy anything that improves on the original design and so far you are checking all the boxes. P.S mom told me to say something nice 😄😁

[@edwardbrindley7572]

Never cared for body work my self n that's what I did for a living, your doing just fine..keep up the work..👍✌

[@FoysAutomotive]

No matter when the bug gets done your still my Hero 🦸‍♂️ well at least till this video is over. I need to start a fun project soon I’ve had enough race cars for now.

[@phillipwarner5504]

Ur doing a beautiful job man on something this custom it takes forever to get it straight but the end product will show all the hard work now

[@kenphillips1491]

I am so happy that you got rod of that not so attractive exhaust top panel. I like this much betterest! Keep on keeping on my friend

[@tonyestvik7969]

Looking great! You said the MR2BUG will NOT be perfect.... the only thing i would like to say, I have been suber since around 22k subs and I realy like see you at work and your progress is massiv.....the MR2BUG will be something great.... also take a look at Shine Automotive, they are converting a Audi TT QUATTRO with a Ford Fiesta.... Keep on gooing!

[@adwood201]

Keep bangin' at it mate. I enjoy the novel ways you get things done.

[@Dutchy1979]

Its realy mindblowing what you are doing with the bug.....good job..i realy like the way its going.

[@TheBlaqDeval]

The bug looks awesome and u did lots of effort on it bro and so proud of u! Hood vents suck big time, ones on back look perfect... And u gotta see a way for merging the front fenders to lights pockets to hood rather than feeling pieces glued over each other and heyyy u gotta figure out something for rear fender assembly?! Even if way too skinny following contours of ur huge back wheel? Cutting through old bug fenders for clearance? Its coming together but u gotta finish welding and attachments before tackling grinding to bare metal and epoxy! Yet great work still... Happy for u!!!

[@timmypickavance4758]

I watch them all I love your videos your great and work hard

[@daddosjeffery]

Mate, you are doing the best bodge job and i love it 👌 can't wait till you hit the strip,it will be killer

[@lawrenwimberly7311]

Diggin the tilt forward hood/fender arrangement

[@MrMadkaw400]

Hell yeah brother looks killer let’s get it done

[@masaakigagen4267]

Been busy. Notifications were pilling up, catching up! Love the channel!

[@jadajada405]

you will get the bug finished before 30th July and rip her @ bandimere buddy, lets go for a 10 second run

[@carlfluty3387]

Wow the bug is really coming along love the direction you have taken it.

[@ronkelso1632]

Hey Preston stop beating yourself up man progress progress and that's what's happening so it's all good

[@mattb2771]

Looking awesome mate. Can't wait to see it in primer!

[@yourpalrobbie3374]

Dont stress dude your doing what most of us wish we were doing...building cars on youtube. Your bug looks great and i love the jeep project. hey maybe in the future can you do a bug on a corvette like the jeep but a hard top version? Just a thought.

[@jameswyllie9608]

Good work well earned shower

[@czs1mc]

Have fait in your self, I love what you do and how you do it because i can relate to it. Low budget and doing it for the first time.

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

It always cracks me up watching people do 9s in their garage built civics and then a dude in 100k car with 50k worth of mods runs a 10.2 lol

[@OverkillMotorsports]

You should dimple die the holes your drilled in the panels to make it stronger and have a smoother transition into the hole

[@davemoulding8799]

Yup hard work and I am 63 and been doing body work sense 1972

[@chicagovasko]

Ur content great don't worry you just do what you can be comfortable and and you will complete your mission.

[@SJ-cy3hp]

Preston doesn’t know what he’s doing in the backend but he’s gonna grind the front end for sure. 😂😂😂

[@chicagovasko]

That was cool he gave his bro the heads up aye I'm about to weld here... nobody like weld eye burn.

[@andyskaggs3323]

I curious if your going to seal the engine from the cab? Maybe double glass/plexi? Looking good!

[@allenlord3679]

Hoonigan and WhistlinD both put out a video while I was watching. As ALWAYS stay here and watching till the end before I go check them boys out.💯👍🤙🤙

[@paleggett1897]

Love it❣️ would love to: 1) take a cruise in it, and 2) drive it

[@Cekmore]

Same!

[@mrgmc6314]

Scrappy the bug is looking sick !!!

[@600wheel]

Your quality of work seems to be improving a little trick when you’re trying to grind up welds like on body panels and you just want them to look good without going all Bondo and crazy try a flapper wheel on a mini grinder they do a really nice job of finishing without going crazy much nicer than a solid wheel which always leaves gouges no matter how hard you try

[@600wheel]

I actually think you might have been using them but I’ve had too many pieces of wire wheel stuck in my eye to be able to tell and yes I was wearing safety glasses but those little fuckers are like boomerangs they can turn corners

[@martinwarner13]

Aaaargh dude bodywork is the work job ever, I don't know how people do it day in day out. Stick at it brother, the bug is looking sweet. Although I hope the panel gap around "trunk lid" gets a bit neater at the top.

[@bagelbandit6076]

10:00 Bob Ross of car building. Happy little accidents!!!

[@D4mo2612]

Ignore the haters Preston, your getting there bud. As always another great video......does anyone know whats happened to team olympus? The last video I saw was when they did Preston miata cage.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

The heavier guy,who was the team driver broke his back and isn't able to race so they sold that stuff and moved in a few CNC machines to lathe,and mill instead.He's able to walk,btw.I've been wondering what's up too,and there's nothing new posted.

[@D4mo2612]

@@bryduhbikeguy yeah I heard Daniel broke his back.

[@charlestorruella8591]

Also if you need alot of bondo because it isn't stright that is unnecessary get a hammer and dolly and beat it till it's either flat or the shape you want metal will bend sherk and do what ever you want it to you just have to make it

[@GPDIY]

Love the project man, Respect.

[@sideshow45]

When you are an appliance designer and get told to design a washer but in reality you just really need a pre molded piece to widen your Volkswagen bug trunk. Lol

[@allenlord3679]

Only if you had a huge tub to hydro dip the body. Hella promotion. ( Not that you need more work) 🤣🤣

[@777Timberwolf]

Comments.... 1. Keep doing what you're doing, we all learn new things as an artist (that includes working on cars) 2. to help you on your bug, check out "V8 Stealth Bug" on KZbin. You'll find it very interesting. 3. suggestions... have you ever thought of widening the front hood to fit like you did in back?

[@willking7681]

At 4:35 into the video. VW needs rear fenders like that car and bring them down in the back so it blends together with the rear of the car

[@Op1zilla]

Keep it pushing, I 💘 the K20 BUG, ggz

[@charlestorruella8591]

My father had customer wouldn't let us use bondo only a small light plastic filler so every panel had to be stright it can be done and will make the car lighter I understand bondo is needed to make a car perfect believe me more then a few time he came out if the paint booth after one coat and made me block it back down and keep going till it was perfect just saying less bondo is better sometimes it's better to straighten then to fill if.

[@rollerdragon]

alas, the only suggestion on lessening the body work nightmare is metal can be ground and polished, fiberglass and bondo crack... take the time, fill with weld, SKIM the thinnest of skims over top... it SUCKS but you'll never have to go back and do it again...

[@BradGryphonn]

If I was in the States, I'd have a tent set up outside the workshop and would be that annoying old fart that is constantly asking, "Can I help you with the Bug?" Rock n Roll, man. That pressing match with the Whirlpool was trippy.

[@trevorsmith9251]

I’m exhausted watching your progress from my chair 🤣

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

I cant wait to see the twin disc in the bug! Your going to need some wheelie bars with all that gripskis.

[@UnWrecked]

Hiding the bodywork...... I'm guessing raptor liner! I've used it on several projects and it always turns out good.

[@danssv8]

It's coming along very nice

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

Washer sheet metal for the win!

[@enricotavella4148]

Preston, take your time to things the right way and do them once. We'll be here watching anyway 😉

[@Perryproduction]

Keep it up, cant wait!

[@subhumann]

with the washer bits in there, you should call the bug "The Agitator". 😁

[@TheAntinowherelane]

SPEED HOLES 😂😂💀

[@Cekmore]

The Hon Mr Bug is looking awesome P! "The realization that i was not meant to be perfect is the realization of my perfection" - me 🍻

[@charlestorruella8591]

My father owned a body shop and worked in the field for most of his life I spent the first 15;years of my life in a body shop everyone knows 90% of a paint job is body work and prep but the bondo filler if it is over an 1/8 in thick you should be useing fiberglass reinforced filler I know poeple lop that shit in there thick but for a better cleaner job use the reinforced bondo it will help with shaping and hold better

[@leadfootnova1658]

Looks awesome bro

[@Kaged_Aquatics]

Keep it up dude u got this! 💯👊👍

[@ToRoCars]

awesome work,! thanks for sharing

[@rgcoldworld5974]

Looking good!
