The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Can it be? The fuel pump? I put the filter back in the engine compartment. And the level was never as full as it is now. So as I got my first dead on the road. Thanks high school kids for helping. Told them when they tell their mothers the next day happy mothers day. To tell them I said they've done...

It has every dot line, notch that is available according to the internets and youtube rabbit hole. I could easily go to Samba and look it up or even ask and ...

How's it looking?

.......

I guess there is no use in using the Introduction forum. A wrench has now been turned and a restoration, or as I call it. Just keeping it running and looking as nice as an old vehicle can.

Thank You.
