Put the head lights up on pedestals, slope the trunk more also recess the trunk lid to mount the tire there . I think that it would be way cool that way ! Just a thought and I bet many people thought the same way

@willemstockton I had the welding and olive drab paint work done by professionals. That cost about 4000 Euros. The rest I did myself. My total restoration costs came to over 6000 Euros. Keeping track of my hours was too much a pain, so I stopped writing them down. I spent a year on the project, just workig nights and weekends.

@Arfke - The top is a genuine VW top. The top was NOS when I bought the car about 14 years ago. It fits so tight, that I can barely close the top alone. Its easier in the summer when its warm. I really take care of my top. I store the car in a garage, and roll up the top CORRECTLY when I put it down. And I never put the top down and roll it together, unless its clean.

@Jeansschwimmer You should read up somemore about 181s. Of course they were used in the German military, and the Swiss, and the Belgien and probably some others. By the thousands. Mine was in military service until 1992. The 181s made for civilian use are the trully rare ones in Europe.

Hi KPM, beautiful work. I also have a 1974 Thing (US Version). I'm most interested in finding out about the three point harness seat belt you installed for your children. Can you elaborate on what you did?
@kpm181
10 жыл бұрын
Thanks Michael. I bought the three point harness from a German website. I only have one mounted on the right rear seat. The lower two points are attached to the original lap-belt fixation points. For the 3rd point (the over-the-shoulder strap), I drilled a hole in the car`s rear luggage shelf. A large bolt goes through the seatbelt bracket, then through the luggage shelf metal. From the engine bay, this bolt screws into a thick plate with a nut welded to it (also available from the website). This design is in no way tested, nor comparable to a factory fixation point, but I feel it a little better than a lap belt only.

I had it almost verything restored to original look and equipment including Acapulco canopy top. Almost ready to paint and swap to never driven Show Car status when I had to sell to keep my ex wife's crappy 05 Mustang from getting repossed (also as she hated the Thing she had threatened divorce) had I known we would get divorced soon anyway and a mere year later the Stang would meet with repossesion anyways I would have allowed nature to take its course sooner and still have my favorite Vw ever

I am curious as to why you chose to change out the mil spec distributor for a civilian non-tactical version. you seemed so very careful to restore to original specs that this seemed such an anomaly. my guess was that it was for ease in acquiring replacement leads. the military screw on leads would be harder to find as would the mil-spec plugs. but all in all a very nice restoration.
@TheKpm181
9 жыл бұрын
I did use the military distributor. What made you think I didn't? The parts are getting hard to come by, but so far I had no problems with the military distributor. The only thing I did was use new, non-military spark-plug wires. New military ones were terribly expensive, so I bought standard ones, cut off the plug at the distributor end, and pushed the bare wires onto the spikes within the mil distributor. The rubber boots on the spark plug wires hold them in position.

Hi kiwanbcn, my favorite 181 parts supplier is Ralf's VW in Germany. Just google that name. He is very knowledgeable about 181s and has almost everything on stock. Good luck. On ebay.de there are also a few offers for military seat covers. I found them when I searched for "VW 181 Sitzbezüge". I hope that helps you.
