Safe to say your skills as a mechanic and your electronics wizardry are clearly excellent and evident, but your skills as a video content creator, producer, soundtrack selector, and editor are next level amazing. If you ever wanted to move in a different direction, your talents would be in very high demand by other KZbinrs. That you pull this off every 72-hours boggles my mind. Thank you! 👍👍👍

[@thekatmann9730]

Whoever wins Ragnar....is one LUCKY person!!! That's a sweet car!!

[@bwalker4194]

Grew up with and loved many bugs, but never forget you have ten gallons of gasoline basically sitting on your lap.

[@CodyRedskin]

@@bwalker4194 I've had many a baja bugs, even rolled in 'em etc and never had any kinda fire situation with tank in front, j/s

Sarah, we haven't left a comment on every video but we've been watching and are so inspired by you! You've done so much work on ragnar and we're fired up to see who takes it home!

My daughter and I have had so much fun watching these videos. It has also inspired us to do more to the 1992 Isuzu Pup that she got when my Mom passed away in 2020. Thank you so much for the chance to win this great Bug as well.

[@ThePyramidone]

I am always in awe of your technical mechanical skills and the humor that you inject into these well-thought-out videos. Your talent is amazing. Kudos to Angel and Charlie for their valued assistance in this build.

[@duckyjp17]

You two make a great team.

[@soldierboy425]

Damn this is one of the cleanest bug builds I’ve ever seen. I’ve never wanted a bug before, but this looks like so much fun!

[@markphilpot8734]

Sarah, telling you that you have it going on is a way understatement. Anyone calls you a slacker is just hatin’. Hooray for Charlie to the rescue! Thankful for Angel Food Cake for assistance. Press on Sarah!

[@louanderson1264]

Wonderful to see it move under it's own power. Are you sure something isn't wrong? VW engines always leak... LOL. Keep up the great work- love the channel.

[@Cool_Retro]

It's nice to see Ragnar on the move. I noticed the turn signals on the top of the brake lights came on when you applied the brakes. Ragnar rocks!

[@johnt.848]

I mentioned in the previous video they may be wired backwards with the tail lights switched to the indicators leaving them on when the lights are on.

[@SarahnTuned]

The car isn't finished being wired yet, notice how there's no hood, dash isn't installed, loose harnesses. I'm waiting on parts, so no, nothing is wired incorrectly.

[@riley8801]

Love that you put the bike handles back… and you even cleaned them😂! Love the videos Sarah!!!🧡

[@TacoTruck17]

I'm so entertained watching these videos, great job on this all terrain bug 🐛 👏

[@buickboy92]

Such an inspiring and satisfying moment to see Ragnar drive! This is a testament to Sarah's hard work and perseverance. Once again, very inspiring.

[@ezpoppy55]

Having had a 1965 Bug as my first car when I was in high school, I can testify that not only is it important they GO, but equally important that they STOP! I learned a lot about basic ICE functions with that car. I always said it was easy to work on - which was a good thing, because I was always working on that damn thing. Great series, congratulations to you and your team on the successful rebuild, and best of luck to the person who wins Ragnar!

[@lot27a]

Sarah, I believe you're ready for that 911 build! Your content keeps getting better and better. I'm glad the motor didn't leak. Angst avoided!

[@joshuagies4900]

I absolutely know how much of a time saver it is to have parts magically appear! Huge time saver!

[@brianheffernan8982]

You are a damn good mechanic, Sarah. Great video,

Perfect timing... got my Sarah-n-tuned shirts in the mail and this video popped up... right living🤠

[@jakedamus111]

Bring back Angel! It’s great seeing you with company! Get better soon Angel! Oh,Charlie is ok too 😅

[@banality1234]

It's alive!! Well done Sarah. Glad Angel is feeling better. Can't wait to see the completed car! Take care.

[@jeremyshearer]

For the shift bushing replacement you can tie a rope on the other end of the shifter linkage so you can pull the linkage back and not get tangled up inside the tube. That’s for anyone whose doing this job solo :)

[@abpsd73]

Getting a project to the point where it runs and moves under it's own power is the best feeling. Timing/tuning/etc is a small task compared to everything leading up to it.

[@aijcadd]

You are an incredible mechanic, and this beetle has been a pleasure to watch you rebuilding it. Such hard work, love and devotion, these cars are like your children.

[@jamesthompson5552]

James May once said. that a beetle without question, is the most interesting car that’s ever existed. 🙌💯

[@Gene1969]

I am extremely excited about Ragnar. It is perfect that you are adjusting the carbs, that was it is officially Sarah-N-Tuned. 😉

[@rayschoch5882]

Ragnar looks better all the time. I was really impressed with the brake line bending. And no leaks!! Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's running as it should, but you have lots o' talent in that area.

[@fred420]

Love your analogies! Amazing work as usual!!

[@vermontguy7692]

Great job and great fun videos, Sarah. Ragnar needs a valve adjustment BADLY, though.

[@Rob487]

Always loved the old beetles. Ragnar is awesome! Sarah is awesome! :)

[@JamesRook]

Love the handgrip covers. For future DIY wiring, you can use sparkplug wire boots - both plug and distributor, straight and right angle - to make nice little covers for electrical gizmos. Very clean and looks professional.

[@petermoller8337]

Missed early morning coffee with Sarah but caught up later in the arvo 😁🇦🇺 Brilliant as usual.

Must say, I've learned a lot about these VW's after watching you rework it front to back and top to bottom.

[@craigstrickland1572]

Looks killer, all your work (along with your helpers) paid off! The winner is going to be so chuffed!

[@sasha-taylor]

I love making brake lines too! but i almost always make them out of nickel-copper line, which is super easy and fun to bend by hand and flaring the softer metal is a bit easier. I hate making stainless lines, just the worst to bend and flare.

[@REXS0L]

what a llittle gem, whoever wins this car is sooo lucky

[@iainmcglynn833]

Dear Charlie Please continue to be your awesome self but bring food for you both each trip 🙏 Can’t expect heat if you don’t stoke the boiler This is one quality build Hopefully we see you dressed in both hallowe’en costumes soon after getting them

Ragnar is a relay race that started in Utah in 2004. I don't know if that was mentioned yet or not. "Ragnar was a king and hero of early 9th century Scandinavia. He was a conqueror, a wild man, a leader, fearless and free-spirited.* In much the same way, today’s Ragnarians fulfill their freedom to roam, to explore, to lead, - a free-spirited desire to get out there and experience an outdoor adventure with friends. They traverse beautiful scenery, conquer challenges, and celebrate as a team. They outfit themselves in crazy costumes, deck out their vans and tents and walk away with kick-ass medals, bragging rights and unforgettable stories of this epic adventure!" That's according to their website.

[@AdamMcCardle]

Please don't burn yourself out! Take a break for things like Halloween! Ragnar winner can wait an extra day. And viewers can too.

[@Parallax62]

Almost there! I'd cruise in that Ragnar Bug! Can't wait for the finale.......goose bumps.

[@joemilbrandt9320]

Great jobs and videos on this project but we all knew it would be!! Halloween will be back next year. I was going to enter but I just couldn’t see all that work coming to western New York and being stored for 49 weeks during our winter season. Ragnar deserves to be driven and enjoyed in a drier weather situation. Again great job done right😊

[@blumpkin50]

been watching since teeter. love seeing you kicking ass at this. keep it up girl!!

[@niklaswejedal463]

Yeah! Now it not only looks like a car again, it also drives like one too! Great progress! Almost a bit sad to see the end is near, though - I have been enjoying this a lot! Also, thank you for uploading so early I did not have to wait until the middle of the night to see it - and as always: thank you for what you do and STAY AWESOME!
