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

[@ar2043]

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

[@Generalusuer]

The BEACH BOOGY!!!

[@diyhell8712]

Lamboogy!

[@shingnosis]

A name worthy of Hot Rod magazine.

[@_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.

[@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!

[@IngeBall]

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

[@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!

[@jonlyons1033]

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

[@redtesta]

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

[@EnfieldJoe]

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

[@TheAntinowherelane]

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

[@m.b.82]

Sweet Manx. Love this channel!

[@-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. 👍

[@diyhell8712]

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

[@thangknowa3288]

Mighty fine, thanks for sharing!

[@deletaintekontot]

Awsome car, looks like a lot of fun.

[@Mark-jn7el]

Great Dune Buggy very well built!

[@Iamcarwild67]

Very cool! great video! beautiful buggy

[@musikomax]

It sounds great!

[@albinlindgren8481]

Fantastiskt!😍🤩

[@zombiegeorge749]

The small custom items are really nice.

[@WestBerlinCustoms]

Looks freakin' awesome! 👍😁👍 #GottaLoveThisBuild

[@tedbryer2512]

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

[@NitroNuggetTV]

always enjoy your videos :) cool little toy!

[@troy1466]

Love the split port heads.

[@emiloiu]

Nice buggy, lovely Cat!

[@MrCrocoxxx]

Outrageously fast!

[@kiiiisu]

really cool buggy and nice parts on it and cat!

[@senioraces]

absolutely beautiful!

[@jareknowak8712]

Truly impressive! ❤ 👍

[@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

[@johntreadwell6846]

Looks lovely 👌

[@24ricorico]

Nice ride , like it!!!

[@riptwan]

Neat little car, thanks

[@thescientistschurch]

Very cool mate👍

[@vilsonsteuernagel3312]

Boa tarde, bom dia ou boa noite!! Que coisa mais linda!! Ficou fantástico!! Esse ronco ficou...ficou... tremendo kkk 4x1 abraços de Joinville SC BRASIL

[@tierradeluciernagas4500]

Just beautiful

[@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.

[@djambrosia]

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

[@matthewlawson5350]

Super Rad, we dig it down under. =)

[@jonasgtzz959]

great buggy!

[@nitbot]

Very cool

[@kennyray9252]

Really Nice!

[@paolod853]

Nice tune

[@vw_beachbuggybrookster]

[@kaupo4297]

Nice videos and content 👍

[@tossancuyota7848]

daym! look sick af

[@joaocardoso6092]

Showwwwww de Vídeo ...Parabéns ...

[@debramcdonald2516]

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

[@monica93304]

Wow. Split port heads!

[@moo.johnference869]

From America, " VERY COOLL "

[@idan1242]

beautiful

[@erolgermannemmanuel5637]

Nice Toy I must say !!! Regards 🇧🇷

[@remonuprek1315]

Im envy to your buggy, looks cool

[@paulsimonsson]

That music was spot on

[@59vaughn]

That is one boss buggy...!...😎😜

[@spookydog6959]

you got skill wow

[@klebergiovanibley8922]

Parabéns muito bonito esse Buggy Bley de ponta grossa PR.Brasil

[@UncleMilty]

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

[@NigelNaughton]

So rad!!!

[@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.

[@keeledover4218]

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

[@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??

[@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.

[@renatomoreira5806]

Foguete parabéns irmão

[@seanpettit6410]

nice buggy!.

[@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.

[@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

[@freewheelinduke5342]

just wow

[@denilsonmartins3684]

Muito top esse Buggy 🇧🇷

[@slowlearner984]

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

[@anderscarlsson3607]

Askersund, denna pärla!

[@bgd73]

looks like manx. boxer sounds great!

[@dheadandia8534]

modip mobilnya unik , ban nya mirip mobip F1 mesin belakang " keren

[@samboy168]

Una verdadera joya

[@arturalmeida8655]

Big muito linda, aí sim vejo potencial

[@paulEG6]

That’s really cool, those rear tyres are crazy!

[@broo_shs]

i've seen in finland many of those old buggys

[@user-iz1cc7vy6h]

Hermoso ❤❤

[@domdomdabobcat8934]

Top cara 🎉😮😊Brasil

[@danhard8440]

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

[@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.

[@jimbo5906]

Your car cool master

[@revelairfanman6171]

Great build!! No way you could have that rear tyre set up declared road legal in Oz.

[@markoberer1158]

WOW💜

[@2ROTx]

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

[@mart446]

A beach boogie. :)

[@jamesperezp]

muy bonito buggy

[@alexandermunoz1333]

Vilket bygge!

[@witosarlaw]

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

[@peterhoulis1184]

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

[@albertwayenberg9140]

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

[@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.

[@baxterscientific]

Also guy made those giant tires burn rubber!

[@mattiasrc]

Häftigt bygge.

[@dynochannel]

Fet! Kul bygge 👌 Vad använder du för kamera/mikrofon när du filmar Peter?

[@PeterBjorck]

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

[@dynochannel]

@@PeterBjorck tack så mycket 🙂👍

[@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.

[@emilkarlsson6370]

Morfar byggde ganska många såna och sålde runt om i Sverige😃👍🏼 han gjorde de i Storfors Värmland

[@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...
