Hey everybody thank you to everybody who showed a lot of interest in this video. I just released another VW event video make sure to check it out. Thank you guys
I was born and raised in Riverside, CA, the home of Empi. I remember seeing the building and the original logo. When we were first married my wife and I had a yellow ‘63, white turn signals and all.
@@Louis_B_creations we would really like to but both now being retired and such it’s just not ‘in the cards’ as the saying goes….but we remember what a great vehicle it was (stock as a rock).
As a kid in the 70's you'd see VW bus and Baja bugs running the streets then the 80's brought performance bugs with dual webers and Porsche alloys definitely a cool time to grow up.
Have had a 63 rag top, and a 68 convertible Ghia. My parents had a 70 Bus and a 65 Bug. I would like to do either a pre 70 Ghia as a cruiser or drag car, or a baja bug that's front halfed, caged, powered by a VTEC, Ecotech, or Subie; something I can drive hard in the So Cal desert.
Believe it or not that blue oval ragtop you said was your favorite belongs to a close family friend his names Alex. He redid the car a couple years ago he had it sky blue with the white two tone and matching interior, porsche boxster wheels and more of a custom feel to it. But he's gone back and done everything more original, period correct paint and interior, real fuch wheels and went through the turbo setup and had it redone at chico performance. The car is even more sick now than when i used to ride around in it as a kid. My hero car.
@@Louis_B_creations yeah np I'm gonna try and go out to the open house next year i just bought my own beetle a 63 that I'm gonna take out there hopefully.
Believe it or not I had a 58 that wasn't an Oval Window like the split oval olive one I had the small square European model. I miss that car back in the early 90s, that car got me laid a lot! 😂😂😂😂😂
100% agree.! I’ve owned one for about 6 months. And sadly I had to get rid of it. That was about 9 years ago. And I’ve been looking and wanting one ever since.
I was just looking at air-cooled VW show content. I see EMPI Grand opening, thinking, alright all kinds of VWs. No, we're just looking at bugs... All the beautiful, 'other' VWs get walked passed. "I'm not a, fan, of the busses. But, it's cool." "See, I like the verts. But in my opinion, they only look good with the top down." I was starting to question how deep into the scene you were. Usually VW people are into everything air-cooled VW. But seeing you have an interest, and are just getting into it, a bug is a great starting point. I remember when I was still super green with the VWs. It is definitely an educational experience. My first year with my Beetle was a learning process. Thank God for RU-vid. There's so many things to to be aware of as far as upkeep and maintenance, you get to develop a good connection with your vehicle. And you definitely find a big appreciation for when you see one of these running down the road. Good luck with the raffle. Seeing that you want to do a car as a mother son project, really makes me want that for you. I've had my project I restarted a few years ago with the intention of being able to take my mom out for drives and ice-cream runs. But she passed lst November before Thanksgiving. You obviously have a great relationship with your mom, and she seems to have a good sense of humor. I'm glad I stuck around until the end to see your whole video. I'm definitely subscribing to see where you go on this VW journey. As well as see what this G35 is about.
Louis, great video, great bugs! Thanks for sharing. Yes I agree the convertibles look better with the top down. And yes you can fix up a cool bug in the year models 68 to 73.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I know there is just something about them, maybe cause they are like lil go karts lol but thank you I appreciate it I really hope I find one too. I just filmed another event today so stay tuned I’ll be posting that video next week sometime
