- It's been long overdue that I post a theatrical re-introduction of my 2003 New Beetle GLS 1.8T that I owned three years ago back when I was in college. After hearing about its almost certain junkyard death recently, I was given an opportunity to help restore it back to its former glory. Needless to say, it has been resurrected back to road worthiness! Enjoy this re-introduction video of the car and my messy garage :-) Pardon my shakiness on the panning scenes as this was my first time filming this type of scene (gotta start somewhere, right?).

POV Drive Coming Up Next!
nice clean beetle. I have an 05 same color. Its all stage 2 with supporting mods. deleted and tune by o6a technik. its a riot to drive and surprises so many people when they ride in it.
Yeah once I tuned it after going catless it woke the car up! Properly quick for a daily.
I got an 01 Beetle Sport with a Turbo S front end. Stupid fun to drive and catches so much attention because people don’t expect a Beetle to sound great.
What exhaust?
I have an 03 turbo. Yours is sick. Great car.
Fellow GLS owner here. I am thinking of getting the APR stage 1 tune for my beetle soon, would be a blast
Welcome to the channel! Plenty more videos planned for this build. So nice to see how far its come from when I got the car back 4 months ago. Thanks for checking out the content, new vids to come.
@@BigZdubZ I actually got the tune today and HOLY SHIT the difference is huge! Totally recommend
@@GabeNydick How is the clutch holding up to the increased tq? Do you still have the stock clutch in your bug?
Gabe N how much is the tune?
You've got the Color Concept GLS 👍
Yup! Nice; can you get up on lift I’d like to see the exhaust work
Thanks for dropping a comment to the channel! New vids to come shortly, maybe I can incorporate this somehow in future productions. I'm gonna do something special once we get 100 subs.
love it. What is the size of the wheels?
18 inches. Thanks for watching! New vid on deck - POV drive in 4K 😁
Do you still have this car and what year is this car
These beetles were produced from 98-05, then 06-10 for the similar “face lifted” version, this is a 98-05 beetle and is either a color concept beetle or he put the seats from a color concept car in here, I believe the color concept was only available in the first gen new beetle (98-05) but not 100% on that
Parted ways 🥹
