- Sean is a neighbor of mine who has an obsession with everything Volkswagen. This short is about a bug he bought and sold. He regretted sale and searched it out, 5 years later and got it back completely transformed from stock to heavily modified. Music by Epidemic Sound
Awesome Bug!!
Thanks Leo! I agree, It is such a sweet ride!
First you get the bug, then you get the bite!
There is no doubt about that, I'm on my 3rd!
Glad you were able to get it back….!🙏🏻
I have a 1971 Carmen Gaia…! It is my every day driving sled…🎶❤️👀🎶
Much appreciated, it makes for a great story, must be nice weather were you live!!

Tear jerker bro..glad u found her..🙏🏿
Thank you, much appreciated!
Thank you for the video I can understand that only too well. Three years ago I started welding a 1960 VW Beetle. It stood outdoors under a roof in the firewood for 35 years. I got him with the trailer and thought about putting him in the garden. The engine could still be turned by hand. In the afternoon I drove it around the garden and realized that it had to get back on the road.
Awesome nice Sir
Just bought a 62 bug couple weeks ago. I've owned several over my life and driving them always makes me smile. Getting harder to come by.
Oh wow good score! Yes they are getting harder to get a hold of these days!
Just Beautiful ❤ 1962 Beatle my favourite , had it for good 13 years . No other vehicle can match the power and comfort !!

Well, those are not the strongest points, most vehicles are much better than this vehicle because we're talking about a 60s car, the beetle is not about power, neither comfort, is about feelings, every noise that the car makes or the vibrations you feel in your hands and your body are the strongest points of that car and that's truly better than any vehicle
Am geting one may be after an hour am so excited
Oh that’s awesome! Congratulations
Very nice car sir
Thanks, much appreciated!
@@gsesmedia I got 66 and I'm still working on it
@@carsforlife8292 good on ya! the work never really ends!
@@gsesmedia true but when you like your car. You try your best
Awesome bug and glad you got it back . Enjoy !!
Looks terrific brothah. ☮️
Much appreciated bruv!!

My first car was a 1963 bug. I bought a 1960 bug yesterday. Nice ride brother!
That's awesome! enjoy the cruising!
I've always wanted a Beetle. Instead I purchased a 1965 Chevy Corvair. Drove that car until the motor gave out.
So damned cool ... and your indicators work, you've inspired me 😂... and you have the smooth roads ... bad ass bug, what a beauty
Thanks man, happy rolling!!
Very nice bug😍 greetings from Germany🇩🇪✌🏻
Thanks Tom! Great to hear from the motherland!

@Ronan Joziah definitely, have been using instaflixxer for since november myself =)
@Ronan Joziah Yup, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

Since I'm a kid I always wanted a Volkswagen bettle. Then and now Still hoping I can get the Volkswagen bettle :)
Hey Cyrus, I was like you too, as a kid, I always wanted a beetle! I have had 3 so far and can say they are so much fun!
@@gsesmedia thank you For Making me Inspire ❤️. I Promise someday I Have beetle
Ps: sorry for my grammar 🙂❤️
My pleasure @@cyrusfajardo3127 can't wait to see it one day! Your grammar is fine, English is my first language and my grammar is still terrible.
Good to see this car being enjoyed. Saw it through its couple of phases during its life in Calgary
Hey Xavier, that's rad you got to see it being transformed over the years in Calgary, pretty cool it's back where it came from now.
@@gsesmedia
Good day. Is it easy to get parts for the vw. Are there any scrap yards there in Calgary? Please let me know. Thanks
Hey@@shawnelliott3257 most beetle parts are super easy to find, we order most of our parts for California Imports in Vancouver
@@gsesmedia
OK thanks. Can you give me the name of the store and website.
Yea man CALIFORNIA IMPORT PARTS@@shawnelliott3257here you go www.cip1.ca/
Great job
Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it!
If this video was published and linked on a big Instagram page or something like that, i think it Will be viral!
Thanks Markus, that would be awesome, I think the story is so rad!
What size are your rims and tires ?
What a rad beetle. My family is vw cooked.
Yes super rad build right!! That's awesome to hear, vw 4 life!!
@@gsesmedia I like his long term approach, commitment to see it through and without pressure to create a valuable asset to be sold off later.
After '66, '62 is the best year!
All kidding aside...Sean's beetle is now bigger than himself and involves his family and friends. Quite a thing.
Amazing Car and video man!
Thanks Markus, much appreciated!
Yo tengo uno 1962
What are the chances!
So damn clean!
Yes! pretty jealous of his ride now no doubt.
GSES Design I have watched this video at least 20 something times LOL. I have a type one 1963 in gulf blue and I absolutely love my car. I love all VWs actually.
Thanks for raising the view count@@Kingstonsmac ! Looks like a sweet ride! I have a 63 in dark metallic forest green.
GSES Design my pleasure ! 🤙🏼
Loved every minute of it! I've a '61,'65,'69 in Aus. They're stock. You can have a look at them if you klick on my V emblem. Cheers!
much appreciated! wow you have a serious collection!! very nice!
Thank You !
Love your ride man what stand offs do you have on the decklid?
Love the bug .Show the engine next time
Good call, will do on the next run
Great video. Great car Why the heck no subscribers?
Thanks Dj H, good question, I think I need more content?
Very nice, good luck from Indonesia
Much appreciated!
Nice story but you should have left is stock.
When he sold it stock, other owners modified it before he was able to find it and buy it back
How much do would you say is the abridged you would spend in giving it a good look to a running decent maintain bug.
Hey Chris, It really depends on where you want to take it, but few grand will get you upgrades started.
Love it!
Thanks Mark!
Awesome bug. I'm looking for one and it'll be my first bug.
Thanks, that's wicked you are on the search! Funnest vehicle ever!!
Does anyone know what them wheels are?
Hey Jay, they are custom double-wide steelies
Where did you find that rear window shade kit?
Hi Brett, it was a lucky find at a VW swap meet!
What’s your IG? I’ll follow you. I have a ratty 62 beetle nearly done.
Hey Devon I’m on IG as @theskinnyone @gses_media and @islandbugjam
Love the car !! Any info on how he got the stance of his car the ride height i honestly cannot find any info anywhere much much appreciated love the video. Thanks

i love the car! i have a 67 type 1. I am curious what tire and wheel combo is on the car? any info would be very helpful. "LORENZO TX"
Hi Greg the Fronts are 145/65R15 on stock rims and rears are 185/55R15 on 3” widened
@@gsesmedia OK and where or how would one widen the rear "stock" rim 3"? Please sir
@@gregjaussaud7198 try calling some machine shops in your area, it is a bit of a lost art from the rat rod days, youtube has some tutorials on it as well.
@@gsesmedia Thanks so much, will do
@@gregjaussaud7198 No problem Greg!
Someone in my family had one but I don't like the way other people do. There are better cars from the past.
cool your family had one, that's awesome!
@@gsesmedia My aunt had a bug. It was a newer one, from the late 60s or early 70s. And my distant uncle also had a bug. But I don't like them so much. They consume a lots of fuel, they are loud and they don't have a lot of space inside. People say that I'm wrong but I don't care. I respect the hoby, I respect the work, but I don't like them.
@@lazniprofil2994 The one I have has lots of room compared to other cars its size.
where did you buy the moonys
and rims
They came on it when it was picked up in Calgary, previous owner sourced them somehow.
My dream car subbing now in case there's a sweepstake giveaway forum that first subber.. hint...hint
YES! I want in on that sweepstake too!!
What spec wheels do you have?
It is a double wide steelie
16”?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Handed down to ONE OF MY KIDS -- So they can sell it and get the money because it's an old beater bug with a standard transmission and no ac or heater and it's worth more then what it really is and MONEY IS KING -- Not an old metal bucket called a VW BUG! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
why in gods name would ANYONE do this to such a nice vw? it just isn't right. Nobody with a keen eye that loves classic vw's would buy it. Sorry but that's not original.
you are correct, it is most definitely not original, many modifications, but it makes him happy so there is that
Car looks amazing! I would love to make my 63 look similar
