Why do I like watching you guys go grab lunch? I guess because I know how hungry you can get wrenchin’
that's right :)
Damn.... wish my friends would come over and help like this!! They don't even like VW's :(
great job again super amazing editing. That was a lot of clips to put together. well appreciate the effort and time you put into this channel.
Thanks Mike!
Nice job guys! =)This is going to be a sweet ride! Hello from Seattle!
Thanks Matt more coming!
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
Thanks for the tip!
Really looking forward to seeing it finished 👍🏻😀✌🏻
Same here! It's been a labor of love
Shes looking good, AND safe. Thanks for posting.
Yes sir thanks for watching!
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!
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

Love to see the progess on this beetle
Thanks! More coming
Getting my 70 daily driver tuned up for the Saturday cruise!
Cool!
I may have found a 1970 beetle in Floresville. Hope to go look at it next week.
Do it!
0:38 You know you live the VW Life when you keep a church key on the garage wall.
That's right!
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.
ah okay cool
My 77 convertible needs disc. I bet it runs very well now
Ah okay
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?
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
What master cylinder did you guys use?
Great job guys love ur videos .. what's for lunch ... btw I took my front brakes off to clean them and now I cant seem to get them on theres a clip that gets in the way any tips ...Ty !!!
Not sure exactly what it is might be. Maybe go to www.aircoolers.org and post up some pics...
@@VWLifeVW ok thank you. Tried to look for it in ur video but the brakes were already on the caliper Ty
I can't wait to get home to texas...
It's hot! I'll warn you 😃
@@VWLifeVW I am from cedar park I have a 1969 vw bug in the garage.
I Have an important question,, I have a 2" narrowed beam I want to go to Disc brakes on the front only on my 67 beatle will the 5 by 5 chevy porsche combo you guys did here without going any narrower on the beem work OK on the 2" beam
gosto muito dessa equipe o vw vai ficar bonito
Gracias mi amigo!
Top ✌
Thanks!
VW Life 😎👍🏻
😎👍
I have never had disc brakes on a Beetle yet, but I am definitely doing it this time around. I want to see what the difference feels like I should notice it
Yep want to try it on my bus
@@VWLifeVW Oh yeah, on your bus, that would be great!
Currently I'm doing an old bmw airhead...it's like a vw motorcycle :) by the way, I love lunch
Lol ah okay sounds cool!
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"
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!
@@VWLifeVW I get it now. Winging my way to their site. Thanks y'all
Down in Mexico they use the buses as taxi also, they have 2X12 on the outside bottom with a pipe on by the rain gutter . It cost more to ride inside!!!!!!!
Ah interesting okay!
Nice job. wich master cylinder do you use with that reservoir?
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
@@VWLifeVW ty for your response!!
I'm picking up a bug next month is there anyway to get some help on getting it running or parts?
Wolfsburg west is a great place for parts. CZcams has a lot of how to videos. Good luck!
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
Is the front beam narrow? From where?
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. czcams.com/video/-Epj6e1MtMo/video.html
Who made the disc brake kit, or the rotors.
Empi
I hope you are not going to have to pull the tank any time you need to add brake fluid.
No you won't don't worry
Are you coming to South Africa soon would really like to meet you
Maybe one day!
@@VWLifeVW if you send me an email chrisswanepoel2002@gmail.com I can send you pictures of my 57cars
@@christiaanswanepoel8532 please post them on youtube :) all of them
What would cause my 70 ghia to pull hard to right braking
Bad soft line on the opposite side or un adjusted pads
@@VWLifeVW ok its got disk on front olso
Having trouble finding Jer Fab. Do they have a site or do you have contact info for them?I am interested in a beam from them.Thanks
It's Jer-Fab on Facebook here is the link and tell him we sent you! facebook.com/Jer-Fab-200207081664/
good stuff...is vw life a coop yall share in any profits
Thanks. Kind of like that
Looking forward to doing jobs like this on my bug... Just endless 'shit work' for now.
Get the shit done and get on your beetle!
Great videos, but what's with the formal names? BTW: Nice disclaimer on "Yankees."
It's an inside joke thing with us. We just like to use our full names sometimes
I'm curious who does Martin's tattoos? I've never seen yellow actually hold like that.
I thinks it's dovetail tattoo
😲😲😀😀👍
