The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Just an FYI that TMI might be coming out with correct door panels for 1966. After a lengthy discussion over at the Samba about 1966 seat covers, it appears we've convinced TMI that there's sufficient demand for correct door panels as well. I urge you to make yourself heard . It sounds like the ball ...

I've finally received the correct TMI seat covers for 1966. See them here.

I started a new thread over at TheSamba.com. Still waiting for the bug to be delivered today. It's supposed to arrive in 45 minutes.

New member here from Maryland. Purchased my '66 Beetle last week from the previous owner in Colorado.

I'll post pics soon in a...
