I bought a 1965 bug brand new when I was 18 yrs old. I was so proud of that little car and drove it for 8 yrs. I have fond memories of that car. I paid $1,955.14 out the door and when I got rid of it in 1973 I sold it for $900. I put 156,000 miles on it. When I was in the Navy I had it shipped to Hawaii. It was the perfect car for Oahu. I also met my wife in Hawaii and we went everywhere in that car. You are a true craftsman to take on a project like this, you made it look easy but a lot of sweat equity.
I had volkswagens all my life growing up- '67 bus, 71 Karmann Ghia, and such. I am now ready to sell my '08 Mazdaspeed 3 and get an old VW to restore. Though this gentleman wasn't a professional mechanic/restorer, he had some basic skills and accomplished the mission. That's the beauty/attraction of owning and working on these old cars- just about anyone can do it. AND, it's wayy too much fun!!!
I bought this car from Ed around 2015 and kept for many years. It was beautiful and nicely done. I only sold it because it was so nice, I didn't want to leave or drive it for fear of a scratch or ding. I now have a 64 with a worn partina.
EXCELLENT! Truly enjoyed. I have owned 11 VW Bugs beginning with a 1956 oval window, 1962 Convertable, 1966 Bug, 1968 Bug, 1972 Super Beetle, Built a 1968 VW Trike Bike, bought & flipped several others and have owned a 2012 VW Bug since new and just took it off the road at 157 K miles....will partially restore and sell to young kid. I just bought a "Covid Car"...2019 VW Jetta SE-R, winter package.....it was purchased brand new and the lady put 1500 miles on it, caught Covid & died. Car sat in heated garage until one month ago when the family traded it in on an SUV. I LIVE AND BREATH VW....thank you for the GREAT VIDEO.
One of the most enjoyable rebuild shows I've ever seen. Lot's of fun. Not stress from a deadline or artificial competition. Just a guy, his car and a vision. Thanks for posting!
I agree. Just work, no talk. I cannot watch these car building shows with people who should never be in front of the camera, talking incessantly and showing little work.
Excellent restoration. In 1963 I bought a new VW Beetle with a factory rag top sun roof. Cool. My first new car. $1650 for the bug, $90 for the sun roof, and $5 for an outside mirror. Total $1745. I couldn’t afford a Blaupunkt car radio so I bought one at Pep Boys and installed it myself. I drove that car to and from Florida several times and a round trip to California on Route 66. Fond memories.
Thank you for being such a wonderful person as to rescue an old, beat-up, volkswagon beetle that nobody wanted; spending your time, money, and effort to resurrect it; bringing it to a whole new, wonderful life!! Plus, I think Bugs are cute and cool.....
That was the best 48 minutes and 38 seconds i have spent on CZcams, a bloke in his garage with his tools a bug and determination. Good on ya Mr Willson watched all the way from Melbourne, Australia.(1969 bug owner and restorer)
If I could afford it and I had decent garage, this is what I would do for the rest of my life. I have restored a few cars in the past, but it's been many years ago. I would like that life back.
When that engine fired i smiled as if it was mine. I have a 1972 super beetle that i need to start restoring. Thanks for video it warmed my heart to get started. I always wanted a bug in late 70 when i surfed ever day. Finally got one 45 years late. Better late tha never. I might pull surf broad out and ride a few waves. God bless. Thanks again
Für mich immer noch eins der schönsten Autos die gebaut wurden und auch gut Restauriert. Wirklich gut gemacht. Danke das sie dem kleine ein neues Leben geschenkt haben und Danke für eins der besten gemachten Videos.
I'm a professional videographer as well VW enthusiast.......I'm planning on filming my bug restoration when I start later this year. Good job on this film and rebuild!
Excelente labor la que has hecho con tu escarabajo,👍👍👍👍 Mis respetos y más sinceras felicitaciones. Hacer ver todo el proceso de restauración como algo fácil y muy divertido. De nuevo FELICITACIONES. Saludos desde Cali-Colombia, soy Efrain Sánchez Ospina Técnico Pintor Automotriz del SENA.
Watching this again. I wish those TV restoration shows would be like this, without all the fake scripted drama and bad acting. Restoration Garage, I'm talking to YOU!
That inserted drama crap has killed many a decent show, like American Chopper, Pawn Stars, etc., etc. They all became unwatchable after a few years. American Copper started out 80% bike building, 20% arguing. After a few years, it was 20% bike building, 80% nonsense. I have to hand it to Monster Garage. The producers came at Jesse James to do that stuff and he said "Screw it, I'll just stop doing the show." And he did.
Mr. Ed Wilson I truly admire your passion, professionalism and suiting attitude and I enjoyed watching every second of this video. You did an amazing job and everyone around you should be proud and thankful of having you. I wish you all the best.
The amount of time and work put in to this build and the amount of knowledge and skills required is just phenomenal. I admire people that have this set of skills. This is a life worth living when you build something with your own hands...
WOW! What a fantastic video!! Please don't beat yourself up too much over breaking the front windshield. A number of years ago, I built a replica of a 427 Cobra roadster and broke the windshield when installing it. Then, if that wasn't enough, I scratched the paint getting it back out. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Again, I love this video. I will be referring back many times over the course of restoring my 1975 Beetle.
Hello - greetings from germany - the Volkswagen country - i watched your video with a smile. I was 18 years old ( now i am 52 ) fresh and proud owner of a driving license. My first car was a 72 Beetle and i had a lot off work to get the german TÜV - but it was never half so good as your work! You did a great job on your beetle and it was very nice to watch your video - well done - very well done!
I've watched this video several times! It's informative and well done. My son and I are just starting out with our own project, a 1967 bug. Wish us luck!
This video, this restoration of a beautiful old bug is heart rendering. I bought a new VW Super Beetle in 1973, it was my first car and I loved it. I have wished my entire life that I didn't sell, I've missed that car so much. I pray someday before too long I can duplicate this video and rebuild a 1973 Super Beetle I hope to find in not too terrible a condition. Thank you for bringing back the memories of my beautiful 1973 yellow Super Beetle.
Love the ragtop. My dad had a bug with the rag top. I remember him cranking that thing open on a sunny day back in the early 1970s when I was about 5. Nothing but blue sky. The pop out back windows brought back some memories of sitting in the back seat. Nice job!
This is the VERY BEST restoration! It shows that one person, who found the right bug went ahead with willingness, perseverance, and commitment was able to restore this bug almost to a new condition. (those tiny imperfections don't count, it brings character to the restoration) Thank you! Thank you again! You are the personification of restoring something that was left out as junk. No fancy garage, no special tooling, just showing to everyone that it can be done. I watched it with sound off.
One of the best VW Beetle Restorations I've seen. The Restorer seems to be a cool guy, with a good attitude, throughout the build, other than breaking a Windshield. Cool Music Score, used on the build too.
Привет из России! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍. Я служил в ГДР. Мне очень нравился старый жук! Спасибо за воспоминания! Жук просто красавец! И вам уважение за терпение в своей работе. 👍
The fact that you sprayed it in the garage open air leaves me in awe! I wouldn't dare try that. My Woman would kick my ass if she caught me. Awesome job!!
As satisfying & rewarding as a full car restoration is, man oh man it's an enormous amount of tedious, exhausting work. You did a truly fantastic job!!!!
This is one of the most durable engines ever made. In the early 80's I was stationed in West Berlin and as I arrived another solider was going back to the states, he found out I was inbound and asked me if I wanted to buy a car for $25 dollars and it was the car I drove for 3 years there.
Hello from Scotland! Great video. Your determination was admirable. The best thing about this video,..... just you a normal guy, in your garage at home, toolbox in hand with a passion!! I just love that! It's heartwarming that your son was involved too, great camera work!! You know these days the whole father - son bonding seldom happens anymore, treasure it!! What your doing with your son is what i wished i had with my father, so (to your son) you have no idea how fortunate you are, stay as close as you are now with your dad make that bond last a lifetime, and never forget how incredibly "cool" your dad is, and how very very fortunate you are!. It's a wee shame we didn't get to see your wife drive the car in the final few seconds of the video though hahaha 😊
it looked like the audio cut out during some timelapses. He used music during many of the other timelapses, so my guess is that the muted parts had copyrighted music that youtube didn't like.
👌 you're giving me the inspiration to restore my factory A/C 1966 Corvair Monza 4 door hardtop. It's in decent shape but could use an interior and exterior refresh. Awesome job, enjoy the car!! Long live air-cooled cars!!!
Fun to watch the transformation. Drove one of those puppies from New York to Portland Or. in 1964 on our return trip from being stationed in Zaragoza Spain, USAF.
Incredible Bug, sunroof rag top is a huge bonus, the low back seats, new upholstery, head liner and sound deadening all fantastic. It's a dream car now. I love your videos.
Man!!! That is where knowledge, skill, time and patience really comes together to make something awesome again. I am so impressed. Completely worth the 45 minutes I spent watching it. I'd like to know the total amount invested by the time you were finished.
AWESOME 👏 ... I WATCHED THIS TILL THE END!.. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU DON’T NEED ALL THE EXPENSIVE GEAR & THE FLASH BIG BUILDING TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK..
just aquirred my first bug, a 1963, does not need restoring, but i like to know about the car, so thanks for posting this vid ! learned alot. greetings from Denmark.
What a fantastic job!! You got a virtually new bug! Reminds me so much of my first car, a 67 with a 1500 cc engine. Still miss its straightforward simplicity after so many years.
Wow! This is from 2013! You got the garage of my dreams with the CJ5, the Miata, the F-150 and now the fully restored Bug. Great job! I hope you're still enjoying all those beauties.
Best Restoration Video I've Ever Seen. It was Pure Love. Ed Didn't break the windshield Man🤣. Brilliant Photography and Videography. Restoration was one of the most Satisfactory Ones. You could definitely see the Bug Happy. Love You Guyss♥️✨.
The quality of this restoration is the best I've seen in years and I've seen just about every restoration show there is. Great job. May GOD continue to bless you.

I couldnt agree more.

Congrats!!!👏👏👏... better than professionally done!!! Ur VW is showroom beauty!!!
Those little beetles are alot of fun ! Had a 1971 with a 1600, GT exhaust, I sold 3 years ago ! My oldest sons first car ! Sounded & run great !

You have given me the 'bug' to start restoring ! Fantastic video. Brilliant restoration.
Vincent O' Brien PUN CITY!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for being such a wonderful person as to rescue an old, beat-up, volkswagon beetle that nobody wanted; spending your time, money, and effort to resurrect it; bringing it to a whole new, wonderful life!! Plus, I think Bugs are cute and cool.....
Excellent! I yearn for my first car a 63 Bug. I will NEVER miss the 6 volt system.....
You are a very talented man. Loved watching the build. Am working on a 1970 now.
That was the best 48 minutes and 38 seconds i have spent on CZcams, a bloke in his garage with his tools a bug and determination. Good on ya Mr Willson watched all the way from Melbourne, Australia.(1969 bug owner and restorer)
If I could afford it and I had decent garage, this is what I would do for the rest of my life. I have restored a few cars in the past, but it's been many years ago. I would like that life back.
I watched from Stockholm in Sweden.
Congratulations from Ireland, Mr Willson. I owned a 1600 VW, same as you restored.
Yeah good on ya ya bloke
That was superb entertainment. Thanks you to you and your family. Your tenacity knows no bounds. It takes me 3 days to think about checking my brakes.
Good job! I recall with fondness my 1st car, a 1961 VW Beetle. I enjoyed watching this video, from the Philippines!
When that engine fired i smiled as if it was mine. I have a 1972 super beetle that i need to start restoring. Thanks for video it warmed my heart to get started. I always wanted a bug in late 70 when i surfed ever day. Finally got one 45 years late. Better late tha never. I might pull surf broad out and ride a few waves. God bless. Thanks again
Für mich immer noch eins der schönsten Autos die gebaut wurden und auch gut Restauriert. Wirklich gut gemacht. Danke das sie dem kleine ein neues Leben geschenkt haben und Danke für eins der besten gemachten Videos.
I'm a professional videographer as well VW enthusiast.......I'm planning on filming my bug restoration when I start later this year. Good job on this film and rebuild!
This kind of workmanship gets me jealous... It's seamless. This is amazing of any videos i have watched
So true I concur
woooooow you dont have a clue
Beautiful Beetle! May be the only 68 around with a fabric sunroof. Super color coordination, and blacked-out rims.
Just getting started on my 68 bug restoration journey! Thanks for the inspiration!
Did you finished it?
Ed, thank you So much for video taping and sharing this,,,,,, adventure. Reminds me of my 65 & 69 Bugs back in the 70's & 80's, when I was young.!!
Excelente labor la que has hecho con tu escarabajo,👍👍👍👍
Mis respetos y más sinceras felicitaciones. Hacer ver todo el proceso de restauración como algo fácil y muy divertido. De nuevo FELICITACIONES.

Were all the walls and toolboxes covered with paint after all that spraying?
Супер професійно! Дивився з захопленням! Дякую!
I worked for vw five years brought back great memories fantastic work
I rather watch this than most automotive restoration shows on TV. They never really show you the process like this video does. Great job!
this guy doesnt have a clue
The amount of time and work put in to this build and the amount of knowledge and skills required is just phenomenal. I admire people that have this set of skills. This is a life worth living when you build something with your own hands...
je dis un grand bravo pour la renovation de cette voiture vous avez des mains en or

AMAZING!!! I'm going to restore the bug that my grandpa left me, and this was the motivation and example I needed. Thanks.
+omvg93 keep the motivation on! Hope to have a chance to see your car soon.
So... Where is the restored buggy?? We would love to see it please.
A truly great restoration. It leaves me with a satisfied but envious feeling. Does the World need anything better or more simple than a car like that?
Hello from Birmingham, England, UK.
I salute your technical ability & your passion on this project.
Thank you.
Hello - greetings from germany - the Volkswagen country - i watched your video with a smile.

You did a great job on your beetle and it was very nice to watch your video - well done - very well done!
Uber bug

Stop grog barking
In 2013 NO ONE put up Videos to learn from like yours. Good Job on Blazing the Trail!!
A guy with a beer in his hand talking about the car he fully restored. Who doesn't love that :) Great video man. Loved it.
I see a bloke holding a bottle of pisswater
Love the ragtop. My dad had a bug with the rag top. I remember him cranking that thing open on a sunny day back in the early 1970s when I was about 5. Nothing but blue sky. The pop out back windows brought back some memories of sitting in the back seat. Nice job!
Great job. I had a 1968 VW that was painted Plum Crazy Metallic Purple when I was in high school. Fond memories.
Great job Max and Co. Once repainted a kombi Great fun and money saver, thanks for the great vid!
This is the VERY BEST restoration! It shows that one person, who found the right bug went ahead with willingness, perseverance, and commitment was able to restore this bug almost to a new condition.

Good job beautifull VW owesome work very nice my friend 👍.
You restored a whole car by yourself. That’s CRAAAZY! Such a Beautiful finish👌🏽
This is a great build! The bug is one of my favorites cars. The Bug, The Mustang, The Corvette of that period.
Привет из России! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍. Я служил в ГДР. Мне очень нравился старый жук! Спасибо за воспоминания! Жук просто красавец! И вам уважение за терпение в своей работе. 👍
The fact that you sprayed it in the garage open air leaves me in awe! I wouldn't dare try that. My Woman would kick my ass if she caught me. Awesome job!!
You sir are a genius! The attention to detail is off the chart. Absolutely loved to before and after shots.
Stop
You picked a great color! she turned out gorgeous!!
This video reminisced about my 68 Bug and many fond memories during those tender years. Thanks!
As satisfying & rewarding as a full car restoration is, man oh man it's an enormous amount of tedious, exhausting work. You did a truly fantastic job!!!!
Give a man a tool , a beer , a peace of mind and see what he does !
Thanks for sharing.
my favorite part was the engine teardown !! you showed everything. you are very professional! from top to bottom great build
From Panama ... Thanks for all the details, you did an excellent restoration
Even the simplest of cars are not simple when you see the details!! The people's car, Kafer. Amazing restore.
You just blew me away....respect for the hard work... people like u produce real gold .. love your video.
This is one of the most durable engines ever made. In the early 80's I was stationed in West Berlin and as I arrived another solider was going back to the states, he found out I was inbound and asked me if I wanted to buy a car for $25 dollars and it was the car I drove for 3 years there.
A car for 25 dollar ....it is a burgeoning market
my uncle found one in germany with the keys on. It was working. He used while he was there and then left it again.
As a former owner of a 1955 bug and a 1972 bug this brought back a lot of good memories. Great restoration! Very well done!
The best restoration I've seen, one man, congratulations
Hello from Scotland! Great video. Your determination was admirable. The best thing about this video,..... just you a normal guy, in your garage at home, toolbox in hand with a passion!! I just love that! It's heartwarming that your son was involved too, great camera work!! You know these days the whole father - son bonding seldom happens anymore, treasure it!! What your doing with your son is what i wished i had with my father, so (to your son) you have no idea how fortunate you are, stay as close as you are now with your dad make that bond last a lifetime, and never forget how incredibly "cool" your dad is, and how very very fortunate you are!. It's a wee shame we didn't get to see your wife drive the car in the final few seconds of the video though hahaha 😊
My favorite part was when the audio would kick back in.
Jajaja me too!
it looked like the audio cut out during some timelapses. He used music during many of the other timelapses, so my guess is that the muted parts had copyrighted music that youtube didn't like.
So I didn't need to mess with my volume after all.???🤣
My favorite part was when the video finished.
@@zachlidl exactly
👌 you're giving me the inspiration to restore my factory A/C 1966 Corvair Monza 4 door hardtop. It's in decent shape but could use an interior and exterior refresh. Awesome job, enjoy the car!! Long live air-cooled cars!!!
The corvairs shared interior bits I think with the Buick skylark or maybe Skyhawks of that era... my son has a 63 corvair convertible.
Fun to watch the transformation. Drove one of those puppies from New York to Portland Or. in 1964 on our return trip from being stationed in Zaragoza Spain, USAF.
This is an AMAZING piece of art. I loved every minute of it!
"After some tricks about lubricating the rubber I was able to get it in".
Good one.
Yes right? But he did not destroy the first windshield. :D
That's what i learned from my girlfriend when i was very young and naive.
LOL 😂
You took it somewhere else...😄
Incredible Bug, sunroof rag top is a huge bonus, the low back seats, new upholstery, head liner and sound deadening all fantastic. It's a dream car now. I love your videos.
Fantastic,great workmanship,a wonderful watch,
you should be proud of your build and your skills....A1 job....a pleasure to watch
This is one of the bravest restoration projects I've seen so far, great job Ed. The roof opening and lining seems the most difficult though.
Very Cool, awesome car talent, enjoyed the restoration video, Enjoy the Bug. Goderich, Ontario Canada Nov. 4, 2021.
Excellent job. I had a 67 bug and i loved that car.. When our third child came along I had to trade it in. Wish I still had it.
Man!!! That is where knowledge, skill, time and patience really comes together to make something awesome again. I am so impressed. Completely worth the 45 minutes I spent watching it. I'd like to know the total amount invested by the time you were finished.
What a fantastic job. Great narration.
Wow good job for all volk wagen become new again ....from indonesia 👍👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩👍👍👍 thank you 🙏🙏🙏
AWESOME 👏 ... I WATCHED THIS TILL THE END!.. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU DON’T NEED ALL THE EXPENSIVE GEAR & THE FLASH BIG BUILDING TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK..
When you consider all the skills necessary to do this restoration, I'm just amazed at the talent! Nice work!
I enjoyed watching your show,, you did a beautiful job 💯,,I love it..👍👍
just aquirred my first bug, a 1963, does not need restoring, but i like to know about the car, so thanks for posting this vid ! learned alot. greetings from Denmark.
This project looks like it took lots of love and lots of beer! Fantastic video and the results speak for itself. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for saving this old Bug. Could have easily been crushed and forgotten. I hope the '67 I had is still on the road.
Odds are good, 67 is a desired year amongst beetle fans... lots of 1 year only bits in it.. many in the vw crowd refer to it as the 67 mafia
I've never seen some one virtually do every bit of restoration from motor to spraying, to upholstery......You're a talented man......Well done!
Beauty-full restoration.
Congratulations.
I had one of those.
Greetings from México City 🇲🇽
Not only a great build but the amount of time it must've taken to put this video together is unreal. Great job!
Verrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyy good restoration. It looks so good. Great job. It's good to see another old classic given a new lease of life. Enjoy it.
Beautifully covered. Best video so far
Absolutely crisp and yet, sweet. I bow before you!
What a fantastic job!! You got a virtually new bug! Reminds me so much of my first car, a 67 with a 1500 cc engine. Still miss its straightforward simplicity after so many years.
@John Schenon Aber Natürlich!
Love it when he said: "My wife doesn't need to see the bills when they start rolling in." Classic and timeless! Great video!
Exelente trabajo señor ! , Mi más sincero respeto, felicitaciones !
Wow! This is from 2013! You got the garage of my dreams with the CJ5, the Miata, the F-150 and now the fully restored Bug. Great job! I hope you're still enjoying all those beauties.
Muito profissional o serviço, parabéns, deixando meu Like, abraço.
Best Restoration Video I've Ever Seen. It was Pure Love. Ed Didn't break the windshield Man🤣. Brilliant Photography and Videography. Restoration was one of the most Satisfactory Ones. You could definitely see the Bug Happy. Love You Guyss♥️✨.
I've watched this video a hundred times and it still so satisfying to watch
You are extremely talented. Amazing work.
The quality of this restoration is the best I've seen in years and I've seen just about every restoration show there is. Great job. May GOD continue to bless you.
