Yuzee's 1966 Bug

[Yuzee]

This is my 66 when I purchased it in 2008 I really did'nt like the low ride and Cal look the previous owner prefrerred





Then the stripdown started after the initial assessment showed that a full resto was required.



Right the way down to this.


And This.



Then the chassis rebuild began



Theres a lot more work gone on since these pics were taken and I'll post a link to my resto thread in Vzi if anyone is interested in seeing further pics.

I was only speaking with Reno (the previous owner) the other week about this!

How is it going?

How's it going with the bug? Where do you get the volkswagen parts? Is everything going well?

Hi there,
I've Just finished the engine rebuild whilst I sourced a new welder. I bought a new welding set yesterday so will be carrying out repairs to the body soon.

I get my parts from several UK parts dealers but mainly from VW heritage as they seem to have a good supply chain. I also try to make my own panels whenever I can.

Heres a picture of my engine half way through assembly.
