Volkswagen Beetle: How To Make The Most Out Of A Refurbished Beetle | Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car

[@tichwykes]

Nice to see a Beetle restoration without it being messed around with looks great

[@sonnybrooks264]

Great job Elvis. Wheeler Dealers always put out a great video. Mike is the glue. Never get tired of watching these videos. My wife complains to me about watching shows I have already seen but I still watch. 👍

[@madsdekker305]

Elvis is a enjoyable guy to watch working on cars.

[@Markustajahoyrylaiva]

Wow Edd really looks great!

[@racer98]

dont forget that 8cyl V12.

Good to see it back in Britain where it all began, hopefully itll go back to original format cheap cars to do and flip 🤞

I like the fact they show the car not starting right up. I know it's a TV show but it was always TV magic when Ed (who I also really enjoyed watching) did loads of work to a car and they turned the key for it to fire up first time every time. Just always jarred a bit with how manufactured it was so nice to see a change.

[@mikemacferren9096]

This VW sold for a great price. I was stationed in Germany in 1970 when this color was introduced. A soldier in my unit purchased one. He use to ride around in it with a black golf shirt with orange threads running thru the shirt.

[@wellingtons.cassiano3002]

Can’t wait to watch the new series. Unfortunately, here in Brazil, Discovery Turbo is still treating us to endless reruns.

735. If you look at the back glass, you didn’t lip The rubber gasket out of the pocket. It has a lip around the edge… The edge of the gasket. And this lip lays flat against the paint. If it’s rolled around… Like this one. When it rains, water will not shed off of it. It will enter into it… The car that is. If you take a plastic stick, and run it around the rubber, and spray some soapy water in that channel. You can whack it with the flat of your hand. Not your fist or a hammer… But the flat of your hand. And the glass will fall into the pocket deeper. Same with the windshield. Of course you need to Be more careful with laminated glass. Because it’s very delicate. Also, the original chrome that was in all the glasses. Is missing. It makes one of these cars look so good. And people leave it out, because it takes talent to install it. But who am I? You have 100,000 views.

[@OkFixer]

@@pauldefazio3480 ahhh these guys….probably don’t know which way a crescent wrench turns…. These are the guys “working” under a car and say…..”hand me a socket wrench” . All the work ,grit, thinking, etc. is done by someone else, they film it, promise not to talk about the stolen election, or the scam that is COVID…sign a million dollar deal, and “fool” us all……I watched the video because it contained a beetle .

[@brcron007]

Elvis does a great job refurbing these classic projects. Free tip trick. Use an electric knife to cut the foam. Gives it a clean edge and you can sculpt with it. Cover the seat with a plastic garbage bag and the cover will slid right on the seat making it easier to position the vinyl ;) ;) Thumbs Up !

[@joep4224]

I love my '69 1500. They're a classic but totally usable.

[@TheThejpmshow]

Mine wasn’t as tidy as that by any means but it wasn’t bad at all. 1970 1600 (new engine), sold it for £2300 in 2013.. I dread to think what it’ll be worth now..

Nice one guys, any garage with a Hurricane hanging on the wall is great for me.

[@Timescratch1]

6700,- is a real good deal for a Starkäfer in original paint and good condition.

[@irmakaymelek]

It is even expensive for a car that was produced as many as twenty million and not uncommon.

Good luck in your new adventure Elvis

[@almorgan68]

Are these new episodes

[@123rusty4]

head linner go in first , be for the back window

[@UNITGJ]

Seems like a good price, I’m always seeing them well over priced. How do we fuel them thou when the petrol changes? Or will these run on the new stuff?

[@matthewcowell4857]

I’ve got an early VW t25. To get around the new e10 fuel changes I’ve had to put in new 100% ethanol rated fuel lines. 10% ethanol in the new fuel will eat through the old hose and cause a fire in the engine bay.

Have you guys checked the heater Chanel? Heaps of rust I can see

[@harrygrimley4352]

If you need some place to put the seats your going to remove from the bug I could help with that. Just let me know.

[@RobMods]

Nice work on the beetle. Great colour. I'd recommend using an electric carving knife to shape the foam. The are cheap and work very well. You can slice off slivers of foam with good control. Cheers!

[@daur80]

Indispensable Mike and his new partner! 👍👍👍

[@Strike86]

Is this from the upcoming series 17? Elvis seems great, looking forward to watching it!

[@ldwp6395]

No this is dream car, I think it was about a year back. Someone gives Mike a car and some money and him and elvis trade up to the car the person wants.

[@dougseag67]

It might be an illusion but the car looked to be on a slant. Driver side lower than the passenger side. (With Mike out of the car too)

[@alexioui9993]

I give Elvis a year before he can’t take Mike’s crap anymore. It’s about time Ed had he’s own show.

[@davidweston4007]

Ed has his own show on KZbin ,he’s already completed 3 ,It all about a Range Rover . GO EDD . I really enjoy watching Elvis ,but after a while will he still be able to work with good old 5 chins

This is beetle no 2 for WD

[@sorenfogdenius6393]

Wrong kind of rearlights ;-) up to -67.

Judging from the primer paint on the rear, the car might have been hit in the rear at some point.

I like orange

[@karlsmith2570]

It's not very often that Mike finds a car that doesn't need 30 tons of repair work done to it in for them to flip the car This one didn't really give Elvis a lot of work to be done on apart from reassembly and paint

[@GrandHuevotes]

his hands are way too clean to have just installed an engine. i know cause i’ve installed many engines. something tells me the workers did the behind the scenes install and he comes in just in time for the cameras.

[@declansgamereview6523]

lol good spotting. Yeah Ed did much more dirty work and yes he probably didnt do everything but you could see he worked hard whereas this guy has clean clothes and hands and is more of a pretty boy for the show type of mechanic

[@gival9042]

Man, it is just a TV show. Do you really expect these people to be actual mechanics? Look at how poorly Edd China ended up after leaving WD. He opened a KZbin Channel and barely managed to put together a handful of videos, most of which being Q&A...

[@garygallant5390]

Yes. There’s actually no work being done here. Boring.

[@wozmac771]

Ran into this video. The show is all about selling and not much about the cars and their history. Quite frankly, 6700 is a bit too much. If the show is about restoring good cars, then why not give the buyers who are interested in these special cars a break.

Mike I understand ,You want to sell quick, But some times ,I think your sleeping, You give these cars away. That was a nice clean bug, When I was 16 , I bought a 1965 convertible, One of the best cars I ever own, The car ran new, In CT USA in 1972 winters were bad, that car went every where, and rear wheel drive, Today people are girls, I have to have 4x4 Or I cant go anywhere, Girls. Mike stop giving away the cars, Those men working On those cars, need more appreciation, for there work.

I've watched a couple with him and something kept bugging me and this is exactly it. He is always talking just to the side rather than to the camera. I'm guessing he's actually talking to the sound guy and focusing on them. It definitely pulls you out of any immersion.
