My friend Zach has always been a huge help when it comes to my salvage projects. When he saw found the Turbo Beetle he always wanted, I decided I’d surprise him with it. Turns out, the car was a theft recovery car, somebody had crashed it and it was in rough shape. It won’t start, but we tried to get it to run…

Sam is like a dad, and his step mom is like a step mom.
a stolen recovered car does not allways come off the hot sheet
You pull the engine cover and the other guy hits it with sledge hammer on the side (wrapped in cloth).
Those new beetles are such underappreciated cars its crazy. If you need a good car with good power and dont mind 2-door, then its perfect steal. Even 2.0TSI ones go for pittance.
my 2014 TDI VW Beetle destroyed the Fuel Pump….the inside of Pump went thru my fuel lines Fuel Filters…destroyed my Injectors….VW Replaced it all $7000.00 1 month later Destroyed the Turbo….$2000.00 VW payed for….65,000 miles still under warranty
why aren't you scoping the cylinders before you do the compression testing?
The moldy disadvantage controversly milk because wholesaler unusually bake astride a scandalous bowling. pink, quack insurance
Of course he drives over an hour each way. Gotta get those brownie points with step mom.
good detail. he was speechless
That is a pretty marvelous gift.
I want to point out that no rebuilding this engine is not as expensive as buying a new one.
Every Vw I've had the cable breaks off from the handle and had to fish the damn cable out
BimmerGeeks tool is WAY better!
that moment you try jacking up your car but it sounds like step mom haha . Love your work Sam , hope the current BM project works out
Lots of RESPECT to you my Man !
Had to stop watching couldn't bare seeing unnecessary damage being done to the car. Future reference Sam, when you pull the cable you should be pushing down on the hood that would make for an easy release of the latch by offering less resistance as opposed to pulling the hood up, capeash
Nice Sam good heart bro!
Almost sure zack is Venezuelan
do any of your cars run?
The damage in the back makes no sense the previous owner hit it with the hammer ðŸâ€Â¨ just look at the dents in the back makes no sense he blew his engine and scammed his insurance company
What a bunch of muppets!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. So cool of you to buy the car for Zach. It brought a tear to my eye when he said “no one has ever done anything like that for meâ€ÂÂ. This was one of your best videos. You’re a good dude, Sam. Thanks for sharing.
You need to pump some jack grease
You're a good man , Sam Crac
they called it the anniversary bug….. What an amazing gesture Sam… I am quite sure you will figure it out with that obvious great big brain….Great big heart as well……new subscriber. Canadian Vet, ive been living vicariously through you and your projects…
How could 279 people give a thumbs down. Some people are just ass hats.
As soon as you opened the engine I knew it wasn’t going to run and then the cam code confirmed it. These engines at least the earlier ones had a tensioner issue where it would fail and loose timing although I don’t know if it was the issue with this one but Definitely something to keep an eye on with these engines along with the rear main which may leak. All in all hope your buddy has good luck with this beautiful car and I look forward to seeing it on the road again.
Awsome friend you are ðŸ‘ÂÂ
you can do online salvage yard searches and a lot of the time they will list the color of the car/part. pretty sure thats what tavarish used to do when he was still flipping beaters in NYC
Way to go Sam. Sam I have to say if I ever need someone to pick me up a car from the auction. It won’t be you lol you have hands down the worst luck picking out cars from auction. I watch dozens of other YouTubers Buying cars from the auction and none of them even come close to your bad luck. Well maybe the good dead you did helping Zach out will change your luck.
Wow Sam I didn’t realize you knew Zach. I love his channel as well that pontoon boat came out amazing he does great work and he is a great guy.
Lovely gesture and good lads for sending the engine. To summarise this video is wholesale AF ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ

All my friends are equally poor and none of us has a car. I think I need new friends
