Our 1973 Beetle trudged 2,500 miles from Portland, Oregon, to Traverse City, Michigan, in the middle of a frigid January. It has led a hard life, with a hodge-podge of parts from various years and some obvious mechanical and cosmetic shortcuts taken over the last five decades.
While the beauty of the Beetle is that almost any part from any year will fit in some fashion, we didn’t take any shortcuts when it came to the engine. Many of the original parts were too far gone to reuse, biggest of which was the original VW magnesium case. The Beetle now has a brand-new aluminum case, along with a plethora of other new parts, and she is running better than ever!

We rebuilt another engine! Check out our Buick Straight 8 Redline Rebuild time-lapse video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ozfSDsOWTI

Who could dislike this video? Rebuilding engines is a dying art. This man has some skills.
-
These time lapse rebuilds are works of art. Genuinely some of the best videos on YouTube.

Takes me back. My first car was a 59 Beetle for $250. It was running but tired in 1971. Me and dad dismantled it, got all the rust out, zinc treated it, repainted.Then we fixed up the suspension and braking. The engine rebuild was done by experts, not us. We fixed up all the peripherals. It was only a 1200 but it ran so sweet. Nice memories with dad too. The beetle driving off at the end was a nice touch.

The remarkable lighting and clarity of detail is really amazing. Hagerty is as skillful at filmmaking as engine rebuilds
-
Who was waiting to hear the sound?
-
I like how he pulls the car forward and pops the hood and just stands there then turns it around. Lol
-
Every time I watch these I'm just so impressed. I really hate to say it out loud but they deserve the rate we pay them.
-
I love seeing all the different engines in this series. I like to re-watch it at quarter speed to get a better look
-
That has to be the most satisfying engine rebuild footage I think I've ever seen
-
From the stand point of economy and simplicity one of the best engines ever!
-
Evidently, I have some sort of fascination with time-lapse engine rebuilds… saw the Hemi Firepower one the other day, and have now watched four more. Very satisfying! I used to restore VW’s, and a well built engine, detailed just right, was my favourite part of the car! Great work! Thank you. Ron, Tasmania, Australia

This is probably the 5th time I have seen this and every time I think wow this is probably one of the prettiest engines made by man.
-
Every time lapse video - magic...
-
everything I needed to know to care for my beetle engines, I learned in a high school industrial arts class breaking down and rebuilding a simple air cooled lawn mower engine.
-
I can watch this video over and over and never got tired. The sound of the motor at the end is lovely.
-
I love this work. This, is and has never been available to me in any town I reside in. I have never seen good engine work from a shop. And I'm 44 years old. This is how it's done and it's done very well.
-
No vehicle engine easier to work on than the vw flat four!! So awesome vehicles.
-
Having worked at a motorcycle dealership as a tech, rebuilding an entire motor and carb is what we call "controlled chaos"..😁
-
it came in running and its still running , AMAZING!
