Considering Ragnar's age, he's in pretty good condition. I see you pouring all your car love into this project. I think it's sweet that you are emotional about TT going away to a good home.
and it didnt come from the mid-west, the front heating tubes arnt all rusted out , along the running boards
I admire how fearless and skilled you are when you're restoring a car Sarah. Even when you discover not so pleasant surprises.
I knew you were going to do this. Don't ever change, you crazy rock star!
Bye Teeter.
Hi 'lil Sarah.
My heart feels for your loss! Over the years I have had many moments of goodbyes with cars I had developed close ties with, so I know the feeling.
Wow!!! That’s a crazy amount of work. I admire your tenacity.
One of my favorite mechanic/automotive channels on CZcams.
That was a nice touch, having Little Sarah there while the TT went away.
The surf rock version of Greensleeves sure is a thing there. I guess it fits Ragnar.
Glad I'm not the only one who appreciated that. (It was so much cognitive dissonance that it took my brain a minute to accept that I really was hearing what I thought I was hearing.)
@@joshmyer9 Same! I kept thinking "I know this song from somewhere...", and then when I realized what it was, I had to laugh!
The first song I ever memorized when learning to play the guitar over 50 years ago.
Thanks Sarah! So good to see the small one again.
Your video pacing and music selection are always so impressive, great work! Adds to the entertainment value of your mechanical skills, attention to detail and sense of humor. 👏 Hahaha, TT and Small Sarah cameos to boot… 🙂
I know! A surfer version of "Greensleeves"!! I must find this unusual gem!!
@@GarrettWorcester it almost sounded like The Ventures. Sarah has great tune selections.
I always admire you're attention to detail. Personally, I have always sold a vehicle in a better condition then I bought it. Great channel!
Not even a minute in, but that shirt gave me such a smile!
this T-Shirt represent all the charactors and their moods that you went over since i have been following you, the cartoons were my childhood so i know them really well...again aw dropped on all you know and do...a Quebec Province big big fan of yours...you Rock as always Mademoiselle
I had a feeling from the start you would go this way! For what my feeble support is worth, this why I watch this channel.
Hi im a fellow viewer an got the same reply as you was just wondering if you would or could explain it to me im not sure what it meant. Thank you
I was thinking that being a German car, the TT would throw one last check engine light. As for the VW, because on the extensive body styling changes they were always making to these, it could be extremely difficult to find those fenders.
It threw one more ABS light pulling it out of storage, lol. Luckily there's a new ABS module in a box in the trunk lol.
AUDI……Always Under Diagnostic Inspection…
@@phillipdean9879 Nah, if there's no warning lights on, THEN you should worry 🤣
Your are suggesting fenders for an old VW beetle may be hard to find? 🤣🤣
We probably don't want to talk about this but.... the labor hours/dollars alone in the TT.........never mind cost of parts, not to mention the time to research......ok let's shift gears to the generosity behind the scenes.
Unless you've done a resto or heavy mod, a person cannot grasp the mental and physical toll it takes.
Dare I say, whoever won the car, please don't take it lightly. I promise I'm not sure I could do all that to turn around and give it away.
Ok yes, 'a youtube channel'. That doesn't change a thing, all the labor and stress is still very real.
Sarah, this is highly remarkable and extremely generous!
And then you do it again! And yes, I will be in for it! Wish I were back in my hometown to help on it and anything else. Dont work too hard!
Great video! Emotional goodbye, but going to a loving home and people that need help will get it because of your heart. 👍👍👍
Only if they buy a bunch of merch and get their name pulled out of a hat! ;)
@@KOrnhOliO1 There’s more to the story… and in the original drawing, there was a clearly explained method to enter “no purchase necessary”. Still, this wouldn’t have happened had it not been offered in the first place.
Sarah, I was very touched by the sadness that you showed when TatorTot drove away. I really appreciate the attention to detail you always have. Always great content! Amazing!
I was really impressed with the paint stripper, it saves you time, and doing a lot of extra work. Great video Sarah.
The thing I admire most about you Sarah, is that you're just not afraid. I know this car must be laughably simple to you.. but to me it's so refreshing just to see how you don't hesitate to take things apart. So fun to watch!
Years ago stripped a car. Much work. Heavy duty electrical safety gloves (thick rubber, long rubber) for protection. I am so impressed by your detail, ragnar will love it.
Loved the surf rock Greensleeves timelapse, but for the record, that was a pre-facelift 2nd Generation Forester (SG-5)
Suprise Small Sara alert ☺️
Yes you made the right choice in stripping the old paints
Bye TaterTot. You guys made stripping the paint look way easier than it really is. Well done.
The secret was using excessive amounts of stripper, lol. It was an inch thick at least our 2nd go around. Lol
@@SarahnTuned Definitely the secret. Most people are way too stingy with the stripper. The plastic worked well.
I think you made the correct call on the paint. But honestly that fender is something a lot of folks up north here would call rust free....... Love your aircraft style detail focused work ethic
Bought 2 shirts, here's hoping I Get it! I would love to use this thing as a fun little desert runner.
I was adding a comment that was almost identical to David's below. I admire
that you put so much love into your builds
Sad to see the TT go. But I’m loving the bug. My first car was a VW bug a real old one 1964 i also raced an FV and Super V so very familiar with these cars and engines. When you get the the engine which out for the head studs. They can pull out of the case making the head leak on this vintage motor.
4:00 Right in the feels Sarah...
5:18 --> You made me cry when I saw the tears welling up in your eyes... You are a True Motorhead for sure!
I cried 3 times that day off camera. lol
@@SarahnTuned Whenever I hear the song Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks it reminds me of an old motorcycle that I sold and it gets me every time. Thanks for all the videos and for the chance to win this great VW for me and my 17 year old daughter.
Jeez Sarah is there anything mechanical you can't do. I'm so impressed. Teared up too when Teeter Tot left. I used to have the Cabriolet version of that same car and miss it daily. Audi TTs get under you skin. Really enjoyed this one.
OCD is a beautiful thing. Keep up the amazing work Miss Sarah.
PPE + Air Compressor + 100F = positive pressure, clean and cool 75F air. Very pleasant.
This went from a (not so) quick flip to a full blown restoration quite quickly. Definitely not disappointing to see you put in all this effort.
WEE SARAH! Ha! It was cool to see her again
The justice you're dealing out to this VW is amazing. Someone will be extremely lucky to get this little beetle bug after you're done sorting it out.
This video brings back so many great memories of me rebuilding my 1972 VW bug. best car to own and actually have tones of fun with.
learned how to drive at 12 on a Dune Buggy version of that car, really learned stick at 14 on a original powder blue version of that car..still, the window washing fluid on the spare tire thing...killed me..you wash your window too much, do not get a flat tire
Daffy, Bugs, Marvin, Taz and Sylvester. Great Tee! Yea, great work too!
That car is in amazing shape! Where I live in Pittsburgh PA, those front fenders would sell for top dollar as solid originals! Those would be considered mostly rust free up here. Sorry you were sad about Teeter Tot. You did such a great job on that car, like everything else. Oh, and did you know you were playing a Christmas tune while taking off the fenders of Ragnar? 😁
CAKE GUY, WATCH YOUR HANDS AROUND OUR GIRL LOL... FANTASTIC JOB SARAH..
Little Sara should have been there for the last drive in TT ...
.. bookends.
With the amount of care and passion you put into your work and your vehicles, it’s no wonder you get attached. Once you name them it’s all over but the crying 😭
I had no idea Hella was factory for VW. I am curious to hear more about your thoughts on chrome.
Holly shit Sarah!!! I’m just going to bed. Need to watch this tomorrow now. Good night from Scotland. 🏴
@Sarah-n-Tuned, It broke my heart to see your hart breaking. I am truly amazed. I love watching you work in the garage with your pink tools. YOU ROCK!
We took a family trip to New Orleans when I was a kid, three kids in the back of a VW bug. I must have been about 6 years old (I was oldest) so a 1958 VW. VW bugs are cool. Later I owned a 73 Super Beetle, a 63 beetle, two air cooled camper buses and one water cooled camper bus. Should have kept at least one.
This is a fun project! Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
You literally get aerobic and cardio with how hard you work on cars ! Sarah's Aerobic Auto Restoration.
Probably anaerobic with the mask!
I love the Looney Tunes shirt!!!! Marvin rocks!
I feel like VW fenders are just notorious rust grabbers. I just purchased a replacement for my MkV Jetta that's just waiting for a black paint job. So when I figure out how to remove a REALLY seized slide pin from a rear caliper and fix my brakes, that's my next project along with restoring the faded headlights. Your videos have given me a lot to think about regarding prep work. So, thanks for that!
Keep smiling Sarah, love your passion. Much respect from Wisconsin.
So many CZcamsrs doing car giveaways but honestly yours would be the only ones I’d be interested in entering if I was in the US,most of the others are done to a low standard to get them out the door but yours are to a amazing standard like everything you do on here
Great video Sarah like always. You're amazing, smart, funny and adorable.
Try bed liner under coating on the in side of the fenders to make more rugged and to help it from rusting next time and it would help out when cleaning car
Don't worry about getting to attached to the car.
I'm sure by the end of the project it's going to really bug you.
.

That's right. The early comments are just dad jokes!!
One night only, Sarah sings the blues with Rusty Buckett and the Pitts. Stripper to follow...Absolutely love your attempt to salvage, assess the ramifications of repair, then make the decision for replacement. Probably quicker and definitely more ataraxic in the long run. Love this project! Loathebrooke?😀Bye to Littles- Sarah and Spud.
When sourcing OE tail light lenses - get 1968 if you can. they are always one year earlier than the car. HELLA .. nice work
You'd hate to see my 42 jeep with it's swiss cheese and oil canning floor.
Since you don’t like chrome, paint what was chrome gloss black. It’s really gonna pop against the Togo white!
The Scotsman tapping his toes to surf version of "What Child is This". Seeing a multitude of JC Whitney parts. Multitude of high school years reading their paper catalogs. Memories.
Little Sarah!!! Sick SG Fozzy almost as nice as my 07 Fozzy
16:51 - PRICELESS!!!
Sarah you are the right person to be restoring this car. You have amazing tenacity and drive to just do what is right not just the easy route❤️
I had a red 1973 Super Beetle with a 1600 cc motor. Had fun with it.
We will miss little Sarah...and when did you put charle in a time machine for 20 yrs earlier..Lon from Ohio...
I loved the work done in the video, but also as a side note, I loved that Surf Rock version of Greensleeves 8 minutes in.
I once had the pleasure to work on a DeHavilland float plane. I used the purple gel to strip the paint off the whole plane. Worst part was the belly of the fuselage. To this day I have scars where some of that gel dripped in to my glove
Hey Sarah! I love your videos. I have a 73 bug. His name if Bruno and I re did the carpet last summer. I want to finish restoring the body when I save the money. I don't think I can paint like you do but I'm going to do all the prep work. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. I'm returning him to his original baby blue and keeping him as original as I can. Yay chirco!
Your tee shirt makes me sooooo HAPPY! I am a huge Warner Bros. cartoon fan.
yes i saw you wanting to cry as you were driving the tetter tot And i love that you are all in to remake RAGNAR into a great little Car
Hi Sarah, Thank you for all your hard work, I mean working on cars can be very demanding, and then in addition to that, your hours of editing skills are very impressive. You are in every way a true Professional Sarah. This is the Best channel on CZcams. Please keep doing what you do, Your Image, knowledge, skill and Humor is off the chain.
Plus like that Italian song back ground " Somedays like these " by Matt Monro beautiful song ,, great choice Sarah .
I can relate to how it felt letting Teeter Tot go. I get way too attached too.
And I agree, no chrome!!!!!
Damn, hits ya in the feels when the TT was driving away....
A Granite State woman? How did you find your way out to the desert Southwest? There really is a bold and interesting personality behind your beauty. The latter drew me in, but the former kept me there -- along with the car.
(First time viewer, retired air cooled VW mechanic). Oh, how I miss working on, owning, and driving Type 1's and Type 2's. I'll be curious to see where this project goes.
Back in the day when I was young painting my 67 Camaro in the driveway with lacquer and my neighbor said isn't that bad for the environment I said no that's just dust as I choked because I didn't have a mask but I was a dumb teenager he said this just for fun have a great day thanks for doing this it's very inspiring I'm an older retired guy
the real problem areas that you should be concerned with are the rear of the front fenders/footwell area at the bottom of the heater/defroster channel, the heater channels themselves along both sides of the body where it meets the pan, and the bottom front/rear window sills and the battery tray area of the pan. the rest is just surface rust most likely. good luck.....!
👍😊 that stripper works good getting clear-coat off some aluminum wheels.
Ok Sarah just a second of seeing your loony tunes shirt and I already love this video lol
My brother decided that his original fenders were too far gone so bought a few sets of fibreglass Day Mouldings fenders (best in the world), including a set of slopers, before Keith sold the company and the price went through the roof. Originally a complete set of 4 was the same price as one OEM fender.
Oh Sarah it’s only natural you will get upset, you put so much blood sweat and tears into the restoration, you put your heart into all of the work you do 👏👍❤️
Ooof. All the feels with TeeTer ToT's departure. New owner will love it.
My grandfather had the same year Black on Black beetle. when I was a kid. My grandfather taught me to drive in it.🤟😎👍 Damn do I miss my Grandpa.
Car restoration for Sarah is like Pon Farr!
Did anyone even believe you wouldnt enter another rabbit hole? Addicted to perfection 😉😃👍👍👍
I like how you are so passionate about your hard work!
Bob's VW for that bumper bracket!!! Thats here in SLC, UT. Great shop. I bought so many parts there. And love the progress.
As a youth there was a VW repair shop nearby that my dad brought his bugs to. I remember at the service desk they had a sign where they recommended applying 3 in 1 oil to the top of the headlight / chrome seam to prevent rust.
Gotta love chrome on anything that starts with a 6 or 7! I painted a ‘67 bug years ago (in upstate NY) those headlight eye sockets always rusty, need to pull those fenders (front and rear) and running boards off to find all the rust spots. Keep going!
Don't be hate'n on the Earl Schieb paint job! The tail lenses aren't OEM but work. The Euro versions with the orange turn signal area are the way to go.
Two thumbs up for the Command decision call.
Your obsessive behavior is one of the things that makes you special. It shows motivation, inspiration, and often drags you into adventure!
Sarah, the next time you need or want to strip something. check out Sunset strip from Webber tek. I work for Capital Aviation and this is what we use. no bad fumes and one application (spray it on) and let it set over night and them we use a power washer and it's down to bare metal. it will also not harm fiberglass or composites. the president of Capital Aviation invented sunset strip. Amazing stuff
Back around 1975... yea... I'm old... I stripped a 66 Corvette Stingray. In those days the only stripping agent out there was called Stripese. So I applied it, waited and low and behold the car turned from Maroon to gold! The Stripese only removed 1 layer of paint! So I did it again! And the next color was red! This car was 9 different colors and it took me a month to get them all off. Good thing I was already a heavy equip. mechanic and already knew enough cuss words to make it all the way through. Fun review.
You're such a badass!! It was difficult seeing the Tot leave. The guys I work with always tease me when I get sad to see some of the builds we do go home, so I understand completely! You put a lot of you in that car, and you know the new owner is going to LOVE him to death! Keep up the great work, and thank you for all you do!!
I love how detailed you are with your work, it also makes you feel better about your work when you do it right.
Love that you are fixing up an old Bug. I had a 73 or 74 Super Bug with three speed auto stick and 1600 motor and loved that car. A big bus T boned me in it and sadly beyond repair.
Love your tee shirt choice. Those characters were the highlight of every Saturday morning. You poured your heart and soul into Tater Tot and it shows. Great save of your camera.....Hope your head feels better.
I appreciate your passion for cars. Thank you for putting so much time into your channel.
