View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/

We’re back to work in our own shop on our 1971 Euro Look Super Beetle. The chassis has been cleaned up and painted after we did the rust repairs and installed new floor pans. Now we’re going to cover the last bit of tear down on it before reassembly. Follow along as we pull apart the rear suspension and axles so they can be cleaned up before we start reassembling our pan!
