    I like the fact that you customize your car to your liking despite it being a bit unorthodox. That's definitely how I'm gonna be customizing my car too when I get one someday, unbothered with what the crowd has got to say, as long as it sparks joy within me.

    Your tributes to old school GTI's, Beetles and ratrod style ...all mixed with a modern take on all of it is really cool. Some parts of these projects aren't my style, but I'm having a GREAT TIME watching you going through your artistic process. I've been watching you for a bit and it's refreshing to see you just take a 90 degree turn from one project to the next. Really keeps us on our toes as viewers, and nothing feels monotonous about watching this channel. Keep it up! Much love from the left coast.

    I have to admit that when you started with the "rusty" paint job, on the Beetle I hated it. Now that the entire car is coming together I think it looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing it lifted. Your creative vision and courage to "go for it" is amazing. Keep it up, and thanks for the entertainment.

I think a roof rack will round it really nicely when it's lifted. This is really awesome, great job as always. I love your channel. Edit: Watched to the end...EPIC ROOF RACK!!! Lights are bad a$$, maybe two larger lights on the grill? Very Baha, LOVE IT!

    I know its too late, but i love the rusty patina finish. With that headliner I think a two tone brown & tan for seats. The idea of lifting sounds great. Always loved baja style bugs. The only thing that seems off to me is the gloss black. I would think it should have rusted or faded too. You have done wonderful job.

    Love the head liner, wasn't sure about the interior until you put it back together but once together it looks terrific, a great idea with the racks but the lights are a little too high and now you can't put two surfboards on the roof racks, My old beetle looked great and ran much better with surfboards on the roof, maybe a light bar instead? and mount two of the spotties on the front and two off the back of the rack upside down. Good idea with the rock lights and the bigger wheels but maybe not too big as it will hinder performance with too high a gearing. Great work
