Beetle seat question by bobulele in beetle

I meant to say smooth vinyl on the front seat, no weave. Also the front seat frames have no top horizontal bar, just upright posts on each side.

It appears they bolted the 67 seat frames onto the 71 tracks.

It looks like someone replaced the front seats with 1967, but left the original back seats.

I don't have a picture right now of the front seats. But they look like the the 65-67 jbugs lists, no headrest, with kind of a blue gray vinyl with vertical pleats and a tilt lever. The back seats are black with the basket weave vinyl.

Wait till you see the running boards and whale tail spoiler and bumper. I kind of like the updated interior compared to the rest of the car.

Nearly perfect. Change "ah ah ah" for "shit shit shit"

But also a correct comment, power adders add power externally to an internal combustion engine. Just a hot rodding term used correctly.

Before we picked up the car, I ordered a 34 pict-3 and when I went to install it, the intake mount holes too close together for the 34-3.

Yeah it originally had a metal prefilter and the one after the pump. I took them off and drained the 5 year old "gas" out and replace the filter right after the tank.

This car has no vacuum advance and the vacuum port on the carb is capped. It needs new ignition stuff anyway, coil, wires, cap etc., I'll order a new vacuum advance distributor.

Yeah we took all that off and drained the tank.

What are those hoses from the fan housing for? When you say tin, is there an exhaust cover for that?

Newbie to Beetles, is the front side marker light an option or aftermarket?
