In 1978, a basic Polo was £2K, a standard Beetle ~ £2600 and the Karmann ~ £4300. I remember as a kid wondering why the Karmann Convertible cost so much. Now I wonder, even with inflation, how they cost so little….. Gorgeous cars.
Be honest, we’re watching this to build a Herbie
I want one cuz bumblebee
I want one cuz hippie parents
(back in the 70s) my neighbor had a white convertible - never drove it - always garaged it - 100% rust free - 100% original
The Karmann convertible Beetle was specially strengthened to prevent body twist when the roof was taken off but some home brewed conversions may not have the extra strengthening in place
The classic original Solex carb and fuel pump is full of brass bits that modern ethanol fuels will eat apart. The Brosol (Brazilian Solex) carb is ethanol tolerant but they are not built to the same quality and can have sloppy spindle bearings that make it impossible to tune correctly.
Both the Karmann convertible and the 1302/3 had Macpherson front struts and trailing arm IRS rear with torsion bars and full CV joints on the driveshafts. Very late1303 cars had rack and pinion steering
Servo??? I have never seen a beetle with one principally because any vacuum line has to run the full length of the car, which isn't practical and besides, well maintained brakes work well enough
Some important areas to check for rot not mentioned are the seams in the guttering, the framehead which holds the front beam on and the beam itself.
I'm viewing this video posted 6 days old. my 73-super started here in Kansas City a bit better than yours 6 days ago when it was 10 below 0. I took her out for long enough to defrost the engine and get some heat going in it. I'm glad I put new boots on my j boxes last spring.
Good video :) Just got my first Beetle! A very well set up one from 1961. Stroked 1600cc, disc brakes at the front, short shift gearbox, bucket seats. Everything I ever wanted. Good times ahead!
Sounds great!
Another good video 🚘🚙🚗⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
Great video!
Thanks!
Restored some beetles in the last 30 years and out of this expereance I can say: you get a lot of spareparts, yes. But cheep are only the low quality spare parts. If you ever used better quality spare parts, you´ll see the differents. Fits better and made for long life.
Oh, no… If the electrics are acting up, it’s not “just” the wiring. I spent a Week fixing the engine but 6 months figuring out all the electronic problems. And new relays often need you to rebuild the electrical system becouse new ones do not get there power in the same way. So check the electrics, like lights, speedo, fuel gauge. Low beam/high beam, indicators etc. :)
Great video. Your car looks nice and sits in my opinion perfect. What did you do to lower it?
This one is from WB & Sons auctions, sadly we don't know exactly how it was lowered
Thank You.@@ClassicsWorldUK
Also actually design team was Jewish also designed on Austin English car..
Jewish is a religion, not an ethnicity or nationality.
Followers of Judaism have lived throughout Europe for millennia.
Any road will give a cars suspension a good workout these days. You need a Land Rover I reckon, it's a disgusting state of affairs really.
Design stolen from Nesseldorfer / Tatra in Czech by Hitler and Porsche, see Tatra V570 which was supposed to be the Czech peoples car before WW2, so designed years before the VW beetle
Great video!
Thanks!
