JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Trunk Wrap Up - Part 2

[@RaymondLohengrin]

I purchased the plastic cover but it didn't work with my 1971 VW Super Beetle. Thank you so much for making that template available for download, I got it already . Really appreciate it! Great video

[@Sam_Mebane]

Correct, the Standard Beetle Wire Covers do not fit Super Beetles. Glad we could help!

Oh man, those are some hot BBS rims!!

[@Sam_Mebane]

Thanks, figured the car has come this far, the 2 liters weren't quite doing it!

You all are creating a MONSTER!!! My 74 Super was hit a couple months ago, (front end damage ) and I'm waiting for the hood to come in. The rest of what I needed I got from JBugs, and watching this video makes me think I can do this work myself, which I'm prone to think without any encouragement anyway. I need to replace both fenders, the hood, the center link and anything else you can think of, but after this video, I think I got this. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🧑🏾‍🔧🧑🏾‍🔧🧑🏾‍🔧🧑🏾‍🔧

You got this, no problem! There are a bunch of aspects of this restoration that I hadn't done before and I managed! I only know what I know from experience and research. You're getting the research part handled, soon enough you'll have the experience!

Thanks JBUGS for all the content. Love getting my parts from JBUGS. 3:00 As an alternative to splitting paper hoses I used 2 1/2" defroster hose. It's the old school accordion style hose. Worked perfect in that there was no splitting and it covered all the little vent holes in the elbows. Just four zip ties and done. Looks good too.

[@Sam_Mebane]

We split the side hoses so removing the fresh air box would be easier if need be. As there is only a 1.5 to 2 inch gap in between the box and the side vents, using a hose without a split can be difficult.

Why yes Sam....she IS looking pretty good!

Thanks Chris!

Thanks Vlad!

Great video

Muchachos creo que falta que muestren los rines y las llantas. Pero todo va muy muy bien, ojala que ya al estar terminado el auto le hagan un video especial ya caminando y que se vea a detalle. Saludos

[@Sam_Mebane]

No hay mucho que mostrar, las ruedas son ruedas BBS de 17x7 con un desplazamiento de 55 mm. Los adaptadores tienen un grosor de 25 mm, de 5x130 a 4x130, que procedemos de Europa. Todo es algo bastante común, pero no común en los estados.

@@Sam_Mebane Gracias

[@KoenigsTiger957]

What? How did that close so easily and smoothly? I have a '70 Bug, but still, that's Super :)

[@Sam_Mebane]

Gas Struts, clean parts, I don't know we just got lucky!

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

👍

[@joshcosta423]

Why not color sand and polis before so you don't get polish built up in all the seals?

[@Sam_Mebane]

Cause I don't want polish built up in the seats!

[@joshcosta423]

@@Sam_Mebane just tape the window openings up?

[@Sam_Mebane]

@@joshcosta423 Eh, polish doesn't build up that much. Never had an issue with it there. In the air vents is a different story though!

If you're referring to the strut tower brace - here: www.jbugs.com/product/412011.html

[@Matthijs3476]

My 72 super doesn't seem to have a seal channel on the hood. Not even rusted out bits: there was no sign of it so I didn't know they were missing. I just had the whole thing painted though. Any ideas on how to get the rubber properly installed without welding new channels in?

[@Sam_Mebane]

We offer a VW of Mexico style hood seal www.jbugs.com/product/P10-300.html that installs on the bottom side of the hood. The only problem with using this seal on a Super is the inner hood bracing at the front of the Super hood doesn't allow the seal to be installed all the way around the opening. A "universal", glue on/stick on seal might be an option if the lip on the body is in good enough shape.

Cuando cambiaron de rines?

Unos días antes de que se grabara este video.

[@octavioramirez9008]

How did you make the couple for the hose ducts? video minute 1:04

[@Sam_Mebane]

I made the couplers out of three pieces of steel tube. If memory serves, they were 1.25", 1.5" and 1.75".
