JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Rear Kick Panel & Under Seat Assembly

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: www.jbugs.com/
We can’t wait to get the seats installed in our 1971 Super Beetle but before we can, we need to button up all the stuff under the rear seat. We’ll hook up the rear heater ducts, get new baffles installed, and install new kick panels. Then we’ll work on hooking our amplifiers on a custom made mount, and we’ll hook up a battery, a main fuse box and our starter! Follow along as our restoration gets closer to the end!

Muy buen video como siempre gracias. Amigos como un favor especial una duda arme un motor de VW cambie pistones camisas y anillos marca Moresa y noto que al estar prendido me lanza aire por la boca de relleno de aceite como a 4 pulgadas y como a 1 pulgada golpea mas fuerte mi mano. Esto creen que sea normal apenas tiene 80 millas de uso o que debo hacer? Saludos y perdon por la molestia

[@Sam_Mebane]

La presión acumulada en el cárter saldrá por el orificio de llenado de aceite, normalmente. Especialmente un motor nuevo tendrá más presión ya que todo es nuevo.

@@Sam_Mebane Gracias por su tiempo. Saludos
