The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Happy to help. I started my project 5 years ago and found this site to be a very valuable source of information. It took me a year to complete, and that was working on it almost every day. (I'm retired!). I've owned it for 26 years. I bought it from the estate of the original owner. Today it has onl...
