[@VWLifeVW]

Thanks Mike!

[@maxbutler4698]

You guys are great! So glad I found your channel it has just the right amount of detail and the perfect mix of shenanigans. Almost like us viewers are in the garage with you. Keep up the good work, I look forward to following the progress of your build and using your ideas on my ‘70 Bug project. Thanks!

[@VWLifeVW]

Awesome Max so glad to hear! Will you need to go back and catch up on the previous episodes of the Harvest Beetle. We've only got about two more left in this baby's going to be done! Glad to have you here

[@MicBergsma]

Right on! Be careful with sparks hitting on your GoPro's lens, I had to replace mine four times... so cool to get sparks all over the camera but giving bad dings on the lens cover is no fun haha

yes, it's all explained in the previous video but it was made by Jer-Fab a link to his site is in the description of this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3bTm2mbZrKng9E

[@Vpfree19]

Nice job. wich master cylinder do you use with that reservoir?

[@VWLifeVW]

Late Model Dual Circuit Master. We used the SoCal Imports A/C Industries Master with the larger plunger so the front calipers receive more pressure. Thanks for watching, Tommie

Wolfsburg west is a great place for parts. KZbin has a lot of how to videos. Good luck!

[@Atlantikshield]

If I have already fixed the floor, beam and heater channels, How much would it cost me to do the rest of all this work that you guys have done on this beetle on my 66 beetle? I still have to do the body, interior and new engine and transmission. Would you say $10,000?

maybe a little less but that should mostly do it

It was nice seeing a picture of a Volkswagen Beetle ,in the colors of a Police car, White with Green, I am not sure if it*s Germany, normally it would say Polizei, or something like that, or it could be the Mexican Beetle which I believe lasted until 1990 I believe.

Happy Memorial Day weekend to the whole VW Life crew!!! Love all your videos, envious of the crew and the garage as its poring rain, and I have to pull my instrument cluster out, oh well, tomorrow! Hey I have a question, how do you guys come up with all the cool names for your VW's?

[@VWLifeVW]

Hey thanks Slim Pickens! We hope your little project goes well. Everybody has their own way. Gary likes to use ex presidents names. But we all kind of have our own way we do it and some people don't name their VW believe it or not

[@ivorwm2291]

I wish that I could apprentice in your shop. I can sweep up and put away tools. I can clean and detail parts. You should have " Work shops" for people like me that want to learn about VWs. I learn much watching y'all work. Cooperation as well as attitude. " Check your 'ttude at the door". There needs to be one person in charge to keep everyone "on task". Watching y'all dismantle and reassemble makes me realize that there is a "process" in play. You cover the topics completely. Question: I was wondering how to check the brake fluid if the master cylinder was under the gas tank? ( I still haven't been able to gain access to the "60 field Ghia". I might need to become a squeaky wheel about this) edit #1-I love the milk crate with wheels. Edit#2-" I see red bug and I want to paint it black"

[@VWLifeVW]

You have to pull off the wheel to get to the reservoir if there is not a remote tank. There is a drawing of it on the Wolfsburgwest site. Thanks Ivor!
