Vintage VW factory videos

[Eric Ellis (57HotrodVW)]

Cool stuff!! (thanks to Greg Ward for the heads up)

"This Australian VW beetle documentary is called: the shape of quality. This documentary focusses on the technical issues of beetle production in Australia in de early '60s.
That makes the documentary less interesting for the general public, but even more for insiders: people who are 'into the beetle'.

For instance: it strikes me to see that during beetle production the window rubbers are put into place manually with a hammer, with the risk of damaging the fresh painted body. Also the use of a thread to push the rubber in place from the inside of the car is easy to see.

The film was directed by Fred Schepisi.

i love watching those videos, even after nearly 30 years of messing with these cars, i always see something new or get a clearer picture of how something works
