Custom Beetle Interior Tour! 

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I was stressing out so much trying to do it.

Haha yeah… it was definitely a hard pill to swallow. I actually wasn’t even going to get It, but I just kept thinking about it and it seemed to fit in so well.

Thanks man! 👍

Thank you! The key chain is my favourite little memory, plus it’s cool looking. I had looked for an old Camaro for awhile as well before my beetle but I kinda fell in love with the beetles once I looked into them. It wasn’t exactly the short shifter that was the problem, since sand got inside my frame from the sand blasting, the bushing that the shift linkage ran through also got sand in it, that I couldn’t get out. My short shifter was cheaper, from a swap meet and it amplified the grindy feeling. The taller shifter is just a preference of mine really.

If the sand wears out your shifter bushings prematurely, go with the delrin bushings... They will probably last a lifetime .. I think they might something for the transaxle connection as well.. I saw a nice installation video on RU-vid about the delrin shifter bushings.. Well you take care my friend and have a blessed week...

That’s actually a great idea, thanks

I got some heavy duty channels from cip1, and I actually completely forgot to say this when I talked about them. But yeah, when I held them up to my floor pans to make sure they were right, the lip was way too big, so I ground them down all the way around and re welded them for strength because I got close to the spot welds. Having them like that for wires does make sense but I just had assumed it was bad build quality. Even after that, there is a bit of a void behind my carpet there between the floor pan and that lip from the channel. I hope that helps clear up what you’re asking. Edit: you actually reminded me about how painful that whole process was, I completely forgot. I went back and looked at some photos and the lip was wayyyy too big. I almost made the whole thing come apart by trimming it down.

@@smithsgarage273 I was thinking about removing the spot welds cutting them and re spot welding them. One is on the car so Like you I am cutting to the weld on that one and rewelding I am sure. I have the same heater channels by the way. If I were to do it again it would be channels from Classic Fab or Wolfsburg West. They also did not line up at the Napoleons Hat. I had to take the front cap off the heater channel and redrill the holes. Back to cutting the lip right off and rewelding unfortunately that coating is also between the two halfs and the plug weld will have to be cleaned or sand blasted. This problem is not the end of the world but those heater channels should come with a disclaimer that they need to be modified because they are made to fit many years of cars. Thanks for the reply.

Wow! Almost like my wheels are turned the way my steering wheel is.
