VW Beach Buggy Project details and Test Drive!

[@stephen6201]

I love that you tell a lot of the car and give many details.

[@gafrers]

Fantastic. Peter Schimdt in videos never disappoints.

[@Paulinthewyld]

There’s a lot of torque in that little motor... those Scat heads are very special - that’s only the second time I have seen those heads in use - well done!

[@IngeBall]

Cool! Got Dahlbäck vibes on that one. That was how he started in the 80"s in Bilsport.

[@Z4G.]

I have seen a couple of Dune Buggies in Norway. But they are not as clean as this one. She’s lowkey fast too damn. Sick build, thanks for sharing Peter!

[@_SWLW]

That car moves! And the suspension looks real tight while having those inflated tires that makes the ride smooth. This adds to my buggy-building motivation. Maybe a 911 swapped one.

[@davidgrason161]

Why would you want a 911 swapped one? I've always said that, if you show me a man that is not happy with VWs, I'll show you a man that doesn't know VWs. When you have a VW engine that can haze those big fat hides, you are going to kill yourself if you pack in even more power. These super light weight buggies start to really get squirrely over 190hp or so. There comes a point that, yes, while they are insanely powerful, they are no longer fun to drive.

[@tedbryer2512]

I had one of these - I was stupid and sold it. Wish I could find another. So much fun!!

[@redtesta]

Its gets off the line very quick. Super fun car it looks like.

[@ar2043]

What a nice and fun little summer beach buggy. I love that car.

[@jonlyons1033]

AND a bit of shimmy shimmy action! I had no idea you were such groovy folks!💓

[@TheAntinowherelane]

Awesome build! Much respect from the US. 10/10 build, 11/10 Cat cameo.

[@Generalusuer]

The BEACH BOOGY!!!

[@diyhell8712]

Lamboogy!

[@shingnosis]

A name worthy of Hot Rod magazine.

[@EnfieldJoe]

Very cool Dune Buggy. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mark-jn7el]

Great Dune Buggy very well built!

[@zombiegeorge749]

The small custom items are really nice.

[@-MacCat-]

It's certainly a different concept to put Sweden, well known for its cold climate, and summer fun, which normally requires a hot climate, into the same sentence. 😉 Nonetheless, I love beach buggies and love Swedish car engineering, and Swedish car builder in general, and this example is exceptional. Thanks for the upload. 👍

[@debramcdonald2516]

All the rage in the 60’s. They were everywhere at the beaches in CA.

[@troy1466]

Love the split port heads.

[@baxterscientific]

That buggy is so cool! I am building a 1973 Porsche 911 with a turbocharged 2276 Vw motor making 200hp. I enjoy that you are not a Lamborghini snob you are in to all different types of mechanical objects. Many people's first experiences with working on a car is with an aircooled vw.. Hows the "Volvoghini" coming??

[@djambrosia]

200hp, rear swing axles and roll bar make for some tail happy fun times!

[@paulsimonsson]

That music was spot on

[@raybla]

You should make a beach buggy with a Lamborghini engine. Maybe even twin turbo it Haha.

[@GeckonCZ]

More like a Lamborghini engine with a beach buggy parasite on it xD

[@roguegorilla8981]

Sounds like a terribly not so smart idea

[@stankygeorge]

He is pushing 200 HP, using over sized tires, he can hardly keep it planted to the ground as it is! As the V-Dub sets, it out-cools the Lambo!

[@pokerdealer2003]

K swap FTW

[@diyhell8712]

Great video, and an unusual choice! Love that dashboard.

[@emiloiu]

Nice buggy, lovely Cat!

[@kiiiisu]

really cool buggy and nice parts on it and cat!

[@deletaintekontot]

Awsome car, looks like a lot of fun.

[@Iamcarwild67]

Very cool! great video! beautiful buggy

[@thangknowa3288]

Mighty fine, thanks for sharing!

[@PatrikNisser]

I believe i visited him and bought a Volvo 340 Variomatic once... If NOT him, he does seem like a man who would own a few.

[@shannons1886]

Funny point is that the windshield is on backwards. I did the same on mine. The channel should face forward for the soft top install. I think it looks better installed backwards anyway.

[@TurbineResearch]

I think Sävar Turbo has posted a videos somewhere of a buggy like this with a BMW M10 turbo making 400hp. It does very good times at the drag stirp

[@NitroNuggetTV]

always enjoy your videos :) cool little toy!

[@MrCrocoxxx]

Outrageously fast!

[@m.b.82]

Sweet Manx. Love this channel!

[@olik136]

When you find those in Germany they usually have the standard 34hp beetle engine- and nobody ever drives them because it is illegal to drive at the beach... I have also never seen one that doesn't sport a completely questionable choice of color...

[@srenslothnielsen4462]

That last sentence killed me

[@NickKautz]

34hp -> 200hp is probably the most impressive improvement in a production engine without using forced induction or nitrous.

[@johnmartin6854]

Like most old VW looks great but I don't want to drive one!

[@stankygeorge]

Hey, they were made for fun as a do-it-yourself kit!

[@emptyforrest]

a friend of mine here in sweden have one of those. its weak as hell but very fun to drive. massive tires and low center of gravity makes it stick to the road like nothing else. barely have to brake to take turns.

[@UncleMilty]

Would like to see it do sprint car power slides with those Hoosiers !! Cool buggy !

[@senioraces]

absolutely beautiful!

[@albinlindgren8481]

Fantastiskt!😍🤩

[@tierradeluciernagas4500]

Just beautiful

[@keeledover4218]

very nice video gives me some ideas i have a 1966’ manx clone as well here in california

[@johntreadwell6846]

Looks lovely 👌

[@King2tone]

I know someone who has one but it needs a lot of work wondering if ita worth the build in person they look pretty badass

[@musikomax]

It sounds great!

[@monica93304]

Wow. Split port heads!

[@moo.johnference869]

From America, " VERY COOLL "

[@remonuprek1315]

Im envy to your buggy, looks cool

[@senorequis8176]

I have one manx too. To Drive it is an experience. Its all about pasion. for cars and drive. There is noting like that.

[@jareknowak8712]

Truly impressive! ❤ 👍

I used to own a beach buggy and turbo beetle. Makes me miss them... although not working on them. LOL

[@shanebeaudrot777]

If you can afford a Lamborghini, you can afford to build a custom dune buggy. Very nice job I admire the knowledge of a gear head.

[@renatomoreira5806]

Mestadels Panasonic GH5 och Rode videomic pro. I denna film några myggor som inte lät helt bra.

[@spookydog6959]

you got skill wow

[@kennyray9252]

Really Nice!

[@davidgrason161]

Love that car. I'm glad to see that you stayed with the VW engine instead of trying to fit something water cooled in it. It seems here in the States, people just can't stand the idea of having a little sewing machine engine and just HAVE to change it out. I really enjoyed your video. BTW, what is the music that comes in at around 11:14? At 11:43 is the weirdest car I've ever seen. Over there in the oncoming lane is what looks like a Volvo 544 with a pick up truck bed on it. Did Volvo ever make one of these or is this something custom?

[@Dempoj]

That volvo is a A-traktor/epa-traktor. Its a like a tractor convertion of a car. Its only allowed to go 30kmh but you get a license when you're 15 or 16. They were used as a cheap tractor in the 1930s but later in the 60s and 70s they became like a car for the youth.

[@witosarlaw]

Mantap bang... saya juga lagi bikin mini buggy...🙏😊😊👍

[@albertwayenberg9140]

FYI,,,,,,,You have the windshield on backwards. The slot should be onthe front

[@AutotuneIndonesia]

The tires is soo big!! what tire size you use for this car? But it's nice with big engine...👍 Nice dude! Thumbs up from Autotune Indonesia...

[@NigelNaughton]

So rad!!!

[@beauxjones8793]

Dune Buggy is what they were called over here. I think an electric swap possibly a Tesla or Chevy Volt would be crazy fast. I’m working the plans for an Electric swap for a 1964 Chevy Corvair.

[@kaupo4297]

Nice videos and content 👍

i've seen in finland many of those old buggys

Can i come and collect the volvoghini this weekend?

i wonder if Mustie1 has seen this i bet he would be droolin lol

just wow

[@stankygeorge]

There sets a Lamborghini and all eyes are on a VW Beach Buggy from the 70's!

[@peterhoulis1184]

I had one in the late 80s and it was a " taipan " beach buggy

[@knotten33]

How is it registered? Or did the besiktningsgubbe think it was stock, maybe? ;)

[@turdferguson9190]

Ombyggt fordon får man förmoda...

[@Brandk4rr]

Eftersom den är reggad på 80 talet så är det förmodligen väldigt löst formulerat vad för modifikationer dokumenterade hos transportstyrelsen. det är så det är super enkelt att ändra grejer på äldre bilar som är omreggad.

[@jagharingenyoutube]

One doesnt always besikta the bil in the same skick that it is driven in senare :D

[@ebbew]

Besikta? Den är ju över 50år gammal. Den är besiktad och godkänd resten av sin existens :)

[@Brandk4rr]

@@ebbew ja. Numera. Men den är ju reggad någon gång tidigare med ändringarna. Så modifikationerna hade ändå gjort det möjligt trots den varit tvungen åka och besiktas. Du kan ju inte slänga på en glasfiber kaross på något som är besiktningsbefriat. Då åker du nog på spontan kontrollbesiktning av polisen och måste in och besikta även om den är besiktbingsbefriad

[@mart446]

A beach boogie. :)

[@curtclochie3986]

What company manufactured this body???

[@CalmApron-nl7lw]

You could use the Corvair 6 cylinder 140 hp motor

[@eliaskosonen1480]

[@petter5721]

Trevlig video 👍🏻 Vart köper man blinkers lamporna han monterat?

[@ebbew]

Bakljusen är Award som finns på Swedol och fram är Biltema Artnr. 82-959 men tror dom är på utförsäljning tyvärr

[@IngeBall]

Diodhuset har små blinkers

[@baxterscientific]

Also guy made those giant tires burn rubber!

[@christianbauer7154]

Amazing buggy. I have a question: Are these Hoosier Wheels street legal in Germany?

[@timweaver9773]

Wait. A sequential dogbox transmission, the way it was shifted was weird. Back and forth instead of all up(or down) shifts in one direction?!?

[@zeroyon4562]

This one is still H pattern by the looks.

[@PeterBjorck]

I dont think i said in the video that it was sequential? Both H-pattern and sequential can have dogrings and be dogboxes.

[@timweaver9773]

@@PeterBjorck Oh I see. I could have sworn I heard sequential in there somewhere. Awesome buggy still!
