Honda power + Toyota Chassis + VW Bug Build!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

EDIT sorry the video quality hasn’t caught up yet, out WiFi we used to upload sucked this video! We cut out more than 45 min of time lapses showing only the progress and important shots!! Check out our C5 Corvette Jeep! We’ll be getting back into it mid summer!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIjLkqqKg6p9sJo

[@raquskane4002]

lol how are you half way done? a build is never done. keep it up i enjoy seeing this

[@tma4137]

GARAGE IdiotS the music you use in your videos sounds very similar to this song called “lazy eye” by the silversun pickups. It’s different but a lot of it is quite similar

[@TomJones-ds5rk]

Full Custom Garage Idiots, they can cut a car in half but that’s where Ian Roussel comparison ends.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

@Tom Jones Considering we are younger and just getting started maybe your judgmental comment is premature. We’re honest in our mistakes and lack of experience and yet folks are still so excited to leave negative comments. Good luck 👍

[@TomJones-ds5rk]

Haha

[@donedwards3811]

Dude,You are by far ,one of the hardest working/most driven/free thinking people I 've ever witnessed....Don't ever lose that ,everything else will come with time & practice....Great build !

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

You don’t know how much I appreciate that man. I just figured if I don’t work hard, I’m not going to get where I wanna be. So either way I’m gonna find out! Thanks for your support and compliments!!

[@colinvanful]

today is my 55th birthday i have been watching this young guy ! build this mad thing for a couple of months now :) the one thing i will say is he's a freaking quick learner . 25 years ago i ran a shop /garage that repaired old vdubs , but i would never have put /married two totaly diferent cars together . i watch this because this guy is so freaking clever but claims he knows nothing ? come on he knows far more than he lets on :) i have watched youtube ever since it came out so i think he's a pritty good youtuber for todays standards

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Man that means a lot!! Happy Birthday man!!!

[@Daniel-xs3ih]

So 23 actual minutes of work and hours of talking in the videos is what this tells me. Love the content,and the never give up spirit

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I also cut 45 min of time lapses out of this, including only the important progress steps

[@MrBillsfishin]

It's been really fun watching you get through this adventure so far, cant wait to see it through the end of it.

[@rexrunner]

Once they get actually mated for good, progress should pick up. This is by far the hardest part

[@arthursmith5409]

Now, that puts a whole new appreciation on the build, on to the finished product. It will be a grand build, worthy of taking a ride in.

[@CanaRollcreations]

Can I say garage genius!!! It takes true vision to see something like this...all your guys out there in Colorado are freakin amazing with what y’all do to those cars.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thanks man!!

[@wilfreddiazvellon7896]

I respect and and admire the great effort you are putting into this project.It will pay the long hours and sacrifices you made for this project and I hope to see it personally when you finish it,very sincerely I say it.

[@AlanDavid1955]

Preston does great work on hydro dipping , he did some motorcycle parts for me and they came out beautiful !

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

I definitely admire your drive, wish I had just a fraction of it. Keep it up, and the details will fall into place.

[@Ithiel1981]

What an awesome build! I like how you place good attention to details. That's what makes the difference. Keep it on!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thanks!!

[@michaelsmdk]

so fun and inspiring to watch! good music man!

[@LiamTaaffe]

By Jesus! Thats some serious amount of work there!!

[@allenlord3679]

Damn I wish we were closer, I get tired of watching you have to build this thing by YOURSELF. GREAT JOB THOUGH 👏👍👌

[@RealWorldGarage]

Allen Lord no doubt I’ve said the same thing.

[@cstoryusmc]

and as always my friend. You are a MADMAN. sorry i havent been by the shop in a while. be by there soon. dont fret none..

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Is okay, I busy busy

great time lapse, great build, dude you work harder than two people.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Haha thanks man

Audience looks great. I have a 79 Super Beetle convertible I haven't driven in 4 years. I cranked it 3 years ago, after changing new tires, distributor, gas pump, carb, brake lines, brakes, wheel cylinders, brake reservoir and fluids. It's a 1600cc, but I need it like yours...Smh

[@MrJermbob]

awesome work man. keep it up. you work harder on your own car than most people.

[@Wavyy69]

This is the craziest build my eyes have ever seen ⛽️🔥🚀🤘🏽😎big respects from Long Island ny

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Right on! Thanks man!

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

Starting to make big progress now. It's looking great and is gonna be sick when it's driving

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Thanks!

[@daniebredenkamp3048]

Just a question. I remember that the sils of the bug slides into the sils of the mr2 from the sides. How do you intend on fitting that again now that the bug body is welded together?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

The plan is to cut the mr2 sills flat so instead on the bug sliding into them, it’ll just sit right onto them

[@23cornball23]

Im local to Denver if you ever need a helping hand. I respect the amount of hard work you do. Keep up the good work.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Sounds good! Thanks!

You are a hard worker 😓! It was like Deja Vu 🤔!

[@takahuda83]

Awesome job. Respect 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@philanaemic]

How are you going to source windscreens that will fit?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Probably plexi glass

[@junkcarreviews5390]

Are you going to use plexiglass/lexan for windshield / back window?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Back windshield yes, we’ll see how straight the front ends up being

[@tntchitwood]

Wow! Didn’t seem like that much work watching it a little at a time. But all at once, wow.

[@gafrers]

Great montage of a great project.

[@blakeerdmann]

Are you going to sell the old pan with honda engine?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Swap sold keeping pan

[@specialized29er86]

Gotta get me one of those saws, makes life easier.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

They are wonderful!

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

😶😮😯😖🤯 Holy shit I wasn't expecting their to be an SW20 under there....👍👌👍

[@timw6596]

After watching this, I think the best move would be to not try to fit the VW to the frame but to split the VW , add the 10 inches and brace it all straight and square then set it on the frame and cut to fit ! It looks like trying to put 2 halves on was a big problem with nothing set and square ! Also adding in bowed bits in the gaps looks like a problem...would having a metal man make up some straight bits bent up to fit the angles in may have been a better idea.......But what the hell.........I'm sure in the end it will be great looking and a ton of fun ! which is the whole Idea right ?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Yea every step is uncharted territory so we’re just gonna take each problem as it comes

[@geoffreyjones2000]

Awesome editing sir... makes you look like an expert :)

[@edcarlosbusch3641]

Meu Deus, era só ter feito um chassis tubular! Mesmo assim estão de parabéns!

[@K24_Insight_Imposter]

I love time lapse. Great work man, hope to be in the Denver area late August. Would love to see your progress in person!!

[@sepetrex-finger3561]

One of my friend already made that kind of beetles with 911 engine inside it cool.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Nice!

[@efcivic4life647]

It's gonna be a bad azz lil bug tho keep on keeping on it will be running before you know it

[@bradleykunshier7705]

Wonder how many sawzall blades and grinder discs were used?!?

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Current count is 63 cut off wheels, 17 blades

[@bsdgodgivenrights1181]

Now that is a dedication

[@MrGixxer1300r]

The more I look at this the more I think it may have been easier to just build a round tube chassis that you could bolt on the bug front suspension, mount a k series engine and trans and dropped a stock bug body on top of it. You could have used parts of the original bug chassis as a template for suspension, and other mounting points.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I don’t disagree with you but building a tube chassis is way beyond my skill level right now, this was an idea I saw possible for me to do with my current skill set

[@MrGixxer1300r]

@@GARAGEIdiotS People used to build 180mph rails on a garage floor in the late 60s with simple hand tools and a stick welder (no shit). You strike me as a guy who can who can do anything if you put our mind to it, and your work ethic is off the chart. I say what a bunch of other guys have said. If you were local to me I think I would have showed up to be off camera help.

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

MrGixxer1300r well thanks man! I’m sure we’ll do a crazy from the ground up project soon enough

[@Marc_Wolfe]

... I like unique, but a full on custom frame would have been simpler than that. Not to mention lighter for same strength and rigidity.

You need a better camera with at least hd. But thats all I have to complain about ;) You really do a great job!!!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

I think that was 1080p, maybe it was just a bad connection?

[@MS-hn1ek]

@@GARAGEIdiotS Nope,I always get your videos in 360p. Have no problems with other channels to at least get it in 720p. Don't know why yours only appear in 360p over here. Greeting from Germany :-)

That crazy, maybe wait a little longer before watching them? Maybe it’s taking a minute to finalize the upload?

You should do a 4 door bug on a accord awd frame next
