The full restoration of the forgotten 1959 Vw Beetle continues! I found this old car sitting in a garage back in 2019. It had been stashed away since 1994 waiting for a restoration. In 2021 I met Larry at a vintage car show and he asked me if I had any ragtop Volkswagen Beetles I would sell. So we pulled this one from it’s soon to be grave, a crumbled HF garage and Larry brought it home. Follow along on the journey of the restoration videos as this car will be 100 % restored 99.95% by Larry :). Turnin rust into a restored car.

VW used very small double threaded studs to attach the bumpers to the body. Most people just welded the bumper bracket to the body. Then there are the bolts that held the fenders on the body. My first experience in doing auto body repair. After all I was 15 and had lots of time and no money. However I did have my fathers ball peen hammer. Oh if I had cutting and welding equipment. However I had a big can of Bondo and a sander. Good video.
