      I’d take off the hinges of the rear panel and make it into a true four door. Easier entrance and exit. The EV Beetle is breaking with tradition by being built as a four door. I’d vote for Sarah being creative.

    In the older VW's as with many German cars of that era, the stench was horse sweat! The upholstery was padded with "Gummi hair". Horse hair matted with rubber cement into padding sheets. Those got placed on the spring frames and then the upholstery went atop that. On a hot day the smell was pretty crazy. in 1977 my first car was a rusted out 69 Beetle. Your episode here brought back memories that smell! I used to open the windows before even getting into it to drive it.

    I had a 1970 VW Beetle in 1971. It only had 10,000 miles on it . I kept that car for 10years. I had a 1800cc engine installed in it with a 2 barrel carb and Monza pipes . It was really nice . I do not know if it increased the top speed which with the old engine it was was 81miles per hour . The car had no ac on it . The car would blow in the wind so it was an interesting challenge to drive it on the highway with a blue norther . Now if you can ever find a Karman Ghia without body damage . I had to take the car into the dealer every 6,000 miles to get the valves adjusted . The best gas mileage I could get was around 20miles per gallon . The car with the old engine was slooooooow . Ms Sarah work is always remarkable .

    I admit that I started watching your channel early on because well, you're hot and funny with the occasional double entendre thrown in. HOWEVER, it's your detailing videos that really caught my eye. The attention to detail you show is just immense. When you resprayed mister dos, that was cool too. All of these small highlights that you do especially when you show your personality more is gold. You and Charlie make a great combo. He's pretty chill and your, well your not so chill (but that's great!) Your OCD as you call is is all part of what makes watching all your hard work enjoyable and also educational. Keep up the great work! Also keep your explanations going rather than editing them out. It's far more "Real" than many channels that attempt to be real but hide every failure, or they do such a rush job that cosmetically their cars may look ok, but they are not very road-worthy. WELL DONE SARAH!

    Wow, this brings back a few memories!
    I took a 1973 Super Beatle and built a slalom racer out of it.
    G50-14's in the rear, B50-13's in the front, flared fenders, Bilstein shocks, Sleeper engine with Dino dino, Quick shift .......etc.
    It stuck to the pavement like it was glued and from stop light to stop light it was a.................SLEEPER!!!

    I like your attention to detail. While it's stripped down and you're sanding, now's the time to hit everything, not just the parts that will be visible.
    No drips, run or errors. 👍
