You can buy this on DVD from the UK, so don't worry if you missed it. There's also another one where they do a split Kombi camper.

Do an Ebay search on 'VW Crisis'.

You can also watch beetle crisis on Youtube...

also if you search 'wheeler dealers' on youtube there is a T3 that is vamped up and a rotten bug turned into a beach buggy!

I spent an hour or so watching it on youtube yesterday. I thought it was brilliant!
Gave me some much needed enthusiasm again to get cracking on my projects.

If it's not in a Vee Dub I'm not going!

Its a crisis that people have to restore a 71 bug😂.I thought bugs manufactured after 66 were only good for 1600 tp engine and gearbox donors😂Thats what i use them for!
