SUPER BEETLE BODY REMOVAL - 1971 Volkswagen Beetle - HOW TO REMOVE BODY IN 20 NOT SO EASY MINUTES

[@gerolds.1551]

It's always amazing to see how half-assed people play with a welding machine and you have to fix their mistakes. Well done, Taylor 😊

[@wickedwerks]

I’m usually the one half assing it 😂

I have a 71 vert, went through that same struggle…could’ve used a lift though. Excited to see you had the same glue/mush gasket as I thought mine was a one off

[@DarrenShemeld]

Great video 📹 👍

[@dcmflydude6320]

So proud of you not saying a bad word when that pry bar ate your thumb!

[@Rottingboards]

That was fun to watch. Never see that done before. Looks like it would be an easy job if the bug wasn't rusted out or welded.

[@Rottingboards]

I felt that thumb crunch. Way to work through it.

I've restored a couple of 1302S or super's as you call them. In the UK only supers/auto's had IRS rear suspension. Not everyones cup of tea but they made great daily hacks when that was still a thing. Over here most are long gone as early T2 owners want the gearbox for straight axle conversions. I feel your pain on this one!

[@TrixedOut]

I have the same exact Bug so this is a great addition to my how-to library! Great video!

[@wickedwerks]

@@TrixedOut hopefully yours goes better than mine! Thanks for watching

[@kevinhamling1963]

W0W, that's a lot of crusty and not much metal. This could turn into an expensive job. It will be interesting to see video 2. So, thanks for sharing. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

Great video. They must salt roads where you are. Looks like the shop is busy.

[@jeffbannon1345]

Crispy!

[@VWJawbreaker]

And this is exactly why I’m patching the pans on jawbreaker and not pulling the body…. What a can of worms 😂

[@dalewyatt1321]

I'll take bets the owner puts a halt to it. I feel for you though, that looked harder than it should have been.

[@wickedwerks]

@@dalewyatt1321 way harder! It was welded to the body in a couple spots and there was no rubber body seal, it was all glue/sealant.

[@twescher]

CRUNCHY

[@Mikefngarage]

never done a super. back in the day if it needed any body off services the car went to the crusher. not now!!

[@kennethbruffy7933]

Anyonne that says bugs are easy to work on is "NUTS !!!"

[@Rottingboards]

Would like to know the average cost on each rust fix.

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

That's going to be a expensive rust project for the owner.

[@jonobaywindow]

Good dose of truckers arm sun tanning in evidence 😂

[@bendarat]

Do I know that SM in the background? I think so.

[@wickedwerks]

You do 😏

[@jamesduke4957]

All I can see is the seats in the orange one.
