Let's hear about your 1966 VW Beetle - How long have you owned it? What attracted you to this specific model year? what makes it unique? PLEASE - NO TECHNICAL OR MECHANICAL QUESTIONS IN THIS FORUM - PLEASE POST THEM IN THE TECHNICAL/MECHANICAL SECTION. Thanks John
I got this RHD 66 Feb this year in Malaysia. Have been a beetle driver since 1995, had a RHD Zenith Blue 68. Sold it in 2005 to look for early models, but due to work and $$$, I dint manage to get any till last year. I got a RHD 70 Savannah Beige. Never was a fan for late models, so when I saw this 66, I grabbed it.
Car is solid with original floors, only had to patch the rear sections, no time for pan off, will remove the body when I decide to repaint in the original colour, but for now I will just use it as it is and take care of all the rusts first.
slowly, doing some touchups to get it in proper running around. ...not the preetiest, but it moves at least!! painted with ZInch Chroimate primer to prevent further rusts
i remvoed the runnibg boards, they are thrashed, but glad i found my heater sills are rock solid!!
oh yea i joined exhuast crowd!! LOL....fitted this to my stocker....cant stand those tiny pea shooters, plus hard to get german ones that lasts , ones i can find are usually rusted before i fit them
still not sure if to put some fancy chrome tip through the original cut out or just some rusty pipe
not everything is as rosy and perfect as i had wanted them to be, found an old bad accident repair. still trying to figure how this part was damaged, as there are no visible damage found on the door or heater channels?? , looks like someone punctured this part with a forklift!!!
opposite part which is undamaged
nevermind i got a replacement panel ready to be grafted on!!!
