I love this car. Y'all did a great job 👏! My favorite part is the mirrors. The paint is nice and I like the color watched bumpers. Great Job Sam! I have an old project 71 Super that I am using your videos to redo mine.
This entire series has been the greatest inspiration. Got the ol 71 SB put-putting with your videos and its slowly becoming a mean slug. Big thanks to the Sam and the JBugs team.
Thanks for all great video's. I made a similar job on a type 1 1964 with roof window for over 30 year's ago. Transform it to a "California looker" a fun project but I hate to change the rusty vent channels. Regards Mike 👍
Hey guys at JBugs, a huge thanks for this restauration series which was a tremendous help for me to totally rebuild my 73 1303 convertible. Top quality explanations, perfect tone for my French ears. Again, thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Okay I want a bug now. That car is gorgeous!!! I seen the magazine with this on the cover at my local grocery store and I bought it too show my teacher at my local community college who has restored two bugs. I’ve wanted one for a minute but I definitely want one now.
hey Sam do you guys have seals for the half moon vents on the sides of the car? I cant find them anywhere yet I have a old rotted seal that I took off. So they must exist somewhere .
@@johnmartin5153 if you drive your car in the elements or wash it with a hose, then sure, I'd do a little across the top and sides. I don't use a hose to wash vintage cars and only drive them in fair weather so I just put the vents in this car without any sort of seal.
I knew I was picking up my beetle soon so it tuned into this build and watched every single episode. It given me a huge head start for when I actually get to start turning wrenches on my 1970 Type 1
I've learned so much watching your 1971 Euro Look Super Beetle series of videos. I would never have guessed that Sam was not a professional mechanic, etc. Gives me hope that I can tackle some of the ideas I have for customizing my 72 Super Beetle. Thank you so much JBugs!
Great job Sam. I loved watching all the video's on this restoration. J Bugs got me through my Dune Buggy restoration and a lot of the video's helped me with that. Thank for the help.
Marvelous job on the restoration! I think I've seen every episode at least twice. I especially liked the engine series. Seeing you do all the different tasks involved in restoration has motivated me to get to work on my '67 and some other projects.
Looks fab! Loved the comment he made about the broken parts & other “learning experiences” he had doing all the work himself. While they are happening you would swear you spent 2x during the rebuilding. Kudos! Glad you get to enjoy it too.
Im currently restoring a 72 super beetle and learning along the way and I have some people helping me as I go and ive already taken it to a couple car shows to
Well done, JBugs. I can't thank you enough for this series of videos. They are going to help me rebuild my own 1971 Super Beetle, which is already begun it's body-off restoration. Cheers.
You really did the Volkswagen world a service by providing so many great videos on building this Beetle. I've been watching these since you first got the car and have references so many of your videos for working on my own Bug. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication! Nothing better than working on a car to learn, fail, and ultimately succeed. Hope the car goes to someone who will drive it and enjoy it👍🏼
Very nice. Job well done. Sweet euro style shows that late model bugs are great to restore. Love all the touches. Haven’t watched the series so might need to go back and check them out
I loved all the videos and have learned a lot about restoring my VW which is a 1972 Marathon Super Beetle. Since the 71 and 72 are identical it has made life a lot easier for me. I have my engine complete sitting in my garage ready to install. The body is rust-free now and ready to go to the painter within the next week or so once he gets finished with a current project. Then it comes back to me to be finished, wiring, disc brakes, front end upgraded, interior installed, etc and engine reinstalled!
Like the air scoop a lot, probably helps with stability, along with the bonnet internal cross braces. Would have enjoyed a little chrome to break up the overall blue look and kept wheels vintage, but other than that I love it. Have been watching the '71 series while I restore my '72 super. Thanks a bunch, glad it turned out so well.
Thanks Nathriel, my wife agrees with you, except for the air damn. We went for a more modern (Eiro or German Look) with the car. Before I even brought the car home, I bought the front air dam which kind of takes any bit of vintage out of the car in my opinion.
Love the bug!!! I watched almost all the videos. As I am building a 71sb also.your videos are perfect. No bull! Well prepared, and always right to the point. Please keep them coming.
Man, the journey was amazing and I've learned too much with your videos. You were my inspiration to rebuilt my own bug, It even has a Kamei (which was a pain in the ass to get here in México).
Thank you so very much Sam. It was an amazing learning but also teaching journey that I enjoyed thoroughly. You rendered a great service to VW Beetle lovers and you offered many unique solution far better than many "trained" mechanics, welders, upholsterers... Amazing blue bug! I already miss new videos but I am very happy that you have completed the project. Best of luck! Cheers!
The car looks great! My favorite part of the build was the custom interior. For me... That is always a difficult task. Next build; How about a notchback!
Wow the car looks beautiful! I can’t believe you’re going to sell it after all that work! My SB is on 4 years as well but I’m going to keep it when done. Maybe do a split window next. Thanks for all your very helpful videos Sam!
I like building vintage cars more than driving them. Every scratch, dent and ding after the fact is like a knife to the heart. When I do get a vintage car to keep, I'll buy one fully restored already, that way I don't have any ties to the build.
Estamos en medio de la instalación de nuestro nuevo almacén después de nuestra mudanza. Pasarán unos meses más antes de que publiquemos nuevos videos. ¡Gracias por su paciencia!
One of your greatest videos! "Thank you for the music" (or videos, really!) along the way. As a Ghia owner, I'd tend towards that, but this build is nothing short of amazing. Maybe an early split/oval, 100% stock build next time? Dipping into new territory?
I just finished this series. Thank you Sam and Jbugs, great job. I have a 72 Super Beetle that I'd like to do the same. I personally liked the first set of wheels better and I'm not to sure about interior color but man what a great restore. Can you share the cost of the resort and how much you sold it for?
I like them too, that's why I picked them. Universal 2 Pcs Glossy Black Vintage F1 Style Racing Car Left/Right Side Mirrors - search on eBay. Then customize to fit.
Sam, did you have to install a horn cancellation ring when you upgraded to the Volante Steering wheel, or just an adapter/hub/boss? I have a 71 Super beetle that I am finishing up restoring and I am thinking about changing the stock wheel to something more modern(since that was the last year of that horn ring VW wheel and it looks more 60's than 70's.) I found a wheel I like and the black Volante Boss but I didn't know if I needed any other parts before I pull off the old wheel. Thanks for your time.
I can't believe the series is over Sam...what will I do with my Fridays now? :) Seriously, the car looks great. If any car lends itself well to teaching somebody how to work on pretty much any aspect of a car, it's a Beetle. Would love to see your next project be a bus of some sort
Sam, the first set of rims you show, what size where they and what size tire? I'm struggling on deciding on a tire to buy and if I'm going to lower mine or not. I have stock rims now but I need tires. I don't like the look of the 165/80/r15 size tire. They are to talk and skinny for my taste but from all my researching the widest a stock rim will only take up to 185's on 4.5 rims. Do you know if 185 will work on stock rims lowered and or not lowered? Looking at gearing ratios and tire sizes too, how much does a shorter/wider tire effect the stock power. Another problem i have, is I can't find a 42 group size battery around me, do you know what other sizes might work?
The first set of wheels were 914 or 2.0 Liter wheels - www.jbugs.com/product/9681-4.html. A tire shop is your best bet when it comes to tire fitment advice. Shorter tires will raise your gear ratio meaning the car will accelerate a bit quicker but have a slower top speed. Additionally your speedometer (which probably doesn't read correctly due to age) will read differently as well. Don't worry about the "group size" of the battery. Head to your local auto parts store and tell them you want a battery for your (whatever year) Beetle. Most any auto parts store worth going to will be able to grab one for you.
Great job . Was wondering if you can tell me the complete wheel specs along with the specs of the custom wheel adapters as i am redoing a 74 super beetle front disc conversion and having a hard time figuring out wheels Thanks for any help you can offer
Awesome looking car. Over the years I've watched a few of the how to videos. I did not see it mentioned in the HotVWs article nor did you specify in a video (that I could find). I would love to get a pair of those side mirrors for my '74 Super. Can you tell me what they are and a potential siurce?
I got the mirrors off eBay and did some modifiying to get them to fit the stock mirror mounts. They were listed as "F1 Carbon Look Racing Side Mirrors".
I have a 1971 standard beetle that has been customized and fully restored . I am curious to know how much you will be asking for this car when it goes up for sale ..
Its listed at 60, and open to negotiation, I'll see what happens. It's a brand new , one of a kind car with complete documentation of the restoration and it has less than 200 miles on it.
@@Sam_Mebane Thanks ☺ I've seen reports from others that the combo produces about the same power as a 1776 but a little more torque lower down the rev range , did you find it launched well?
@@Sam_Mebane Well I got a pair from another outfit that are made for the U.S. specced 71-72 Bug. I do not know it would be appropriate to mention their name on this channel.
@@josephheston9238 it's all good, personally I'm not a fan of the amber/red/white lenses. Too busy in my opinion, but knowing they are out there for those that want them is good!
I like the car but isn't it just a standard beetle with no rounded windshield and a larger dash with gage pod sticking out, and 68 style tail lights not the rounded type with the amber and red in one just asking..
It is a 1971 Super Beetle which has the same windshield and tail lights as the 71 Standard Beetle. The 1971 US only tail lights were only offered in red/red/white originally. Super Beetles didn't have a curved windshield and a "gauge pod" until 1973.

Don't be sorry, we didn't build the car for you. We weren't going for a stock look so we didn't go with stock style wheels, paint, interior, etc. You can build your car exactly the way you'd like, if you're happy, awesome!

Don't be sorry, we didn't build the car for you. We weren't going for a stock look so we didn't go with stock style wheels, paint, interior, etc. You can build your car exactly the way you'd like, if you're happy, awesome!
