New Upholstery for the 1966 Volkswagen Beetle

[@robertlambert5299]

Nice job on the seats! Very well done. There is a lot of VW KZbinrs that could learn from you on doing a nice job. The red interior does look nice with the black exterior. Its not necessary but adding a layer of burlap on the seat bottom will help the seat pads not to wear and dump the loose particles on the floor. Also adding a vapor barrier/heavy plastic to the inside of the door prior to installing the door panel will keep the panels from getting wet and deteriorating.

Thank you Robert. There will be a body off restoration for this bug in the next couple years. At that point the door panels will come off and then I will install the vapor barriers you mention. It sounds like you have a lot of experience. I'd like to hear more about your story at some point and you experience with VW restoration.

@@backyardkombi5466 I thought the car looked pretty good for a driver. Didn’t think a restore was needed. I have been working on these since the early 80s.

Nice work Greg, it is nice to see you getting some work done on the Raven! That color combo is killer. Looks real nice.

[@backyardkombi5466]

Thank Annie! Boy I’m looking forward to seeing your work on the heater channels of your bug.

Good job 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks Ross!

[@stevedaniels1558]

Nice work. Were you not able to install a grab handle on the door cards beforehand? A bit hard to see from the video, but it would also be an opportune time to install a moisture barrier between the door and the door card. I also think that a spring was installed on each spindle (again between the door and the door card), prior to the handles going on.

[@backyardkombi5466]

Hi steve. In the next couple years there will be a full body off resto of this car so I decided against the moisture barrier until then. I’ll look into the rest of your suggestions. Ty very much for commenting.
