Engine

Tins have been repainted a darker shade of body color.

Attaching the image doesn't seem to work. I'll place a link for now.

Lots of places here in North America, (google VW Beetle windshield ) but you should be looking for something closer to home: the shipping charges from here to there would double or triple the cost ... I'll do that. I'm aware of shipping charges, but there aren't any available sources locally. Thank...

The color change was more that necessary. That green was just awful. lol

The paint I used is a special mix of real micro aluminium flakes with a slight tint of black over a base coat of black. Glad yo liked it!

Vent Wing

I've been looking online but there aren't any vent wing assemblies for 1965-67. I'm sure veterans know that already, and I apparently don't have a choice but to find one cause the one I have is all rusted out.

Will a 1968-up vent wing assembly fit my '66 door?

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for that info Digger89L I'll stick to my first choice of the Wolfsberg Crest :)

However, what do you can that type of horn button? The one I have is a little conical with the Woflsberg logo about 1 1/2" offset as opposed to a flatter circular button[/quote]

Horn Button

I recently bought a GTV Steering wheel that came with the usual GTV horn button.

Does anyone know the type of button shown on the right hand side of the photo? Where we can purchase them?

I particularly like the one with the lion but I'm sure that's one I'll need to save up for..

Thanks!

Today

Painting done 3 weeks ago and new parts are being installed. Waiting for the last piece of glass before installing the headliner and carpeting.

Will post complete specs when the car rolls out of the shop :)
