VW Beetle Restoration Part 50 | Interior Sanding, Rust Repair & Priming!

In this video, I work on the interior of my 1968 Volkswagen Beetle. I sanded down the roof area where the headliner will go and cleaned up some rust spots on the rear wheel wells. Most of the sanding was done with 180 grit, and I used a wire wheel on the tougher areas to remove as much rust as possible. I also used an angle grinder. After that, I applied POR-15 on the previously rusty sections to help protect them from future corrosion. Once everything was wiped down with wax and grease remover and masked off, my daughter Chloe joined in to help with the priming. She sprayed the first coat while I jumped in to finish up, and then she took over as the camerawoman for the rest of the process.
