The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

UPDATE: Spoke to the previous owner again... it hasn't run in 10 years... so the challenge began... brand new 6 volt battery, new points, cap and rotor, re-gap the plugs, static set the timing, 7 gallons of gas (gauge works) and fired her up and leaned her out a bit... yesterday being sunny and 19: ...

Well thank you!

Good Day all!

I am going to tackle a full replacement of the rubber seals for the doors, hood, trunk-lid and crank steel sunroof...

Where is the best place to buy these for my '66?
Are there any "weird" situations I might run into?

Just planning ahead (hopefully)...

Thanks!

I am a collector and "fiddler" with Bricklin automobiles... The Bricklin was built from '74 to Sept '75, they made 2854 cars and went bankrupt. They were made in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, for export to the larger U.S. market. The car was the first ever to be made with powered gull...

Good day all!... Happy Columbus day to all you 'murricans down there! I am picking up a '66 Bug this week as part of a deal on another Bricklin... I have a few Bricks now but couldn't pass on the Bug for the wife... maybe a gullwing conversion for the Bug?!... hehehe... naw, just kidding... great to...
