No pics of the seat mount, it is the standard SCAT adapter for the Super. Really straight forward. The seats do NOT fit in the car, though, even with the right adapter. They are too tall and too...

Some of you may have seen this over on The Samba, but I'm so pumped up I had to post it here as well. Today I took my 1973 Volkswagen Superbeetle German Look project out for some pics (by me).

New wiring harnesses?

I've decided to tackle the scariest thing about my '73 Super's rebuild, the wiring. Its a complete rats nest of "custom" work and "repairs" by the previous owners. When I got the car back in '95...

This is something you *can* do in your garage, but I would recommend using either a modified break or a hydrolic press. Heating the metal will change its strength and brittleness, so that's not...

Bah. A "trucker's scale" used for individual axles/tires could be used with small sheets of plywood glued together to be at the same height as the scale. Jack up the car, put the scale under one...

Three weeks may be a conservative estimate from your paint/body guy. Even if the body is "straight" its not straight enough for paint. You still have a lot of blocking and sanding, then more primer...

I've completed a lot of work on my 73, but I still have a bit of work to go. Still left are the brakes, the engine and a couple of new seats (and a new stereo).

Electric cooling fan?

A great mod to make to a water cooled vehicle is to ditch the fan and fan clutch and go with an electric fan mounted on the radiator. Many times its controled by a temp switch.
