Hey Mike, being a big VW nut, i have built my share of Bajas out of crunched VW's, always been front or rear damage though, but have never been a fan of pre 69 or 68 if auto stick (has IRS suspension) and always Standard Beetles, so in this case i would part this one out too, am currently looking for a IRS Standard, i have a full Baja kit in the basement 😁😁 , Hitler's Revenge you got to love em, lol, catch you soon buddy
I would give you this body if you would come get it. But at gas cost and the fact you would drive past 1000’s of for sale bugs on the way here it wouldn’t seem like a great deal. Thanks for watching buddy
I have 17" Toyota TRD Pro rims and the according P265/70R17 brand new to go with em, these are going on my 98 4Runner though. I'm poor and I'm cutting corners everywhere I can to save money... think I can use this method to get the tires on the rims?
Woah, $750 for a bug fender, I'd have never guessed that. Amazing they cost more than $250. Hopefully the car will help get a few others up and running.
Thank you for sharing, I need a second spare tire for the coming 4wd tours, I am worry about how to fit the tire on a rim in the outback area before I saw your video.
Have I missed part two of this video. I gathered a great deal of information from this video and purchased material and tools. But before I start on my 32 roadster I would ask if there is more that may help me. Thanks for all the other content on your channel.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in tire shop problems. I've been using balance beads in my MGB tires, and it seems to work well. Thank you for confirming your positive experience with balance beads too.
This is not possible unless you got the cheapest tires in the world.. ive beem trying to do one tire for 5 hours now and im so frustrated becaise he makes it look easy but it has nothing to do with experience just the fact he is using cheap cheap cheap tires
@@kalinklein9391 not true at all. They top quality tires and a never give up attitude. Yes I’ve been doing this a long time but most can do it as I’m showing you. Thanks for watching
I've done a variety of tyres more or less as demonstrated during a burst of activity years ago. I've had ones that were a bitch and others that were as easy as demonstrated here . I recall though that slight differance in diameter so that you had to get the inboard and outboard sides to match up with the rim but the first pop over was always the easiest and second pop could be a grunt and strain at times. But aside from having tyre levers and good lubricant the other helpful tool is a large rubber mallet for those final efforts. My worst experience with tyres though was for a bycycle fifty years ago . The rims were made in Thailand and slightly oversize and tyres made somewhere else made undersize according to what the bike mechanics told me who I ended up getting to do the job for me . They said they never had come across anything like it beforehand.
