Volkswagen Beetle -- Wheeler Dealers

Over the past few weeks, I bought brake linings, brake shoes, an advancer distributor, adjusting screws for the rocker arms, a fan belt, a few liters of gasoline, a distributor rotor, a starter bushing kit, and 9 feet of 1/4 copper tube. Needless to say, I’m broke. Therefore, I needed inspiration. These past few weeks, I've been checking out different shows that feature Volkswagen Beetle restorations.

I found Beetle Crisis, the Discovery Turbo five-part show about two enthusiasts restoring a 1971 VW Beetle for a car show. Another show I caught was Wheeler Dealers, a British series that basically saves iconic cars from the crusher. In one episode, they resurrected a 1960 bug. If you’re restoring your own bug and you find yourself a little short on hope, like I am, check out the videos below.
