KG 70 ex helmut

No, the early models did not have this felt in the roof. But as the factory realised the value of such insulation, they included it on all there models, Beetle, Karmann and Bus. I know that if owners want to be pedantic about what was, or was not original on there cars build year; they could hesitate to include this insulation, this is a personal choice. But as it is not visibly evident when looking at the car and would add to its comfort, then why not include it.
We use a lot of modern parts and materials that were not used in the building of these cars, modern paints and fillers etc, so why not enhance the finish of the restoration and the comfort of the car by including some of these products now.
I am a purist in what I do, but also I'm a realist because I can see the benefit in using modern products to make the car and its restoration better for the future without compromising the original look.

salut mec,

pour l avoir vu en vrai, il est tres beau

te connaissant il va surement avoir une tres belle finition

A+

Pour résumer. Meme si Kevin reste un puriste dans ce qu'il fait, il reste réaliste. Tant que cette tibaude ne se voit pas, pourquoi ne pas la mettre tant qu'elle est invisible et que surtout elle apporte du confort.

Pour autant, il ne répond pas a la question de GHIA

For Kevin. Indeed this is to enhance global confort. No doubt on the fact this is not in contradiction with purist doing attitude, but if you know could you please answer to GHIA question please ?
thanks for your great support.
regards

Hello again Christophe, it has been a long time since we last corresponded, hope you are well.

I’m sorry; I do not have a definitive answer to offer you, or the forum community. I do not actually know exactly when Volkswagen introduced this insulation to their range of cars. But from my memory of dealing with the VW models over the years, I would think (as an educated guess) it was introduced in the early 59-60’s (I know the Australian beetle had a thin felt in its roof) and with this assumption in mind; I would feel that this insulation would have been used in all the models, as they are all linked.

I must admit, this knowledge is all based on Australian cars, as I don’t know what might have been included in the European or the US VW models. But I can not imagine that the VW factory would have insisted on insulation only in the cars that came to Australia. But it may have been fitted in Australia with other interior components as part of the Australian content requirement. (meaning these cars were part assembled in Australia)

Tu as des "réactions" dans la peinture...non ??.....j'ai eu ce soucis, et mon père aussi: certains peintres trainent pendant des mois et finalement, bâclent le boulot en ne respectant pas les temps et températures de séchage.....après, ça bulle....
J'espère que la 2ème sera la bonne!!! Bon remontage à toi!!

exactement ce qui m est arrive enfin pour la deuxieme peinture je ne suis pas du tout inquiet elle est entre de tres bonne mains
