Thanks guys i'll will run this buy management, lol.

Berhan can you explain that in layman terms, I'm not understanding?

Thanks for the votes so far it's helping me! It will be a weekend car and we don't get any extreme weather here. I may be leaning toward keep it 6 volt and see how it goes then if it drives me nuts switch to 12Volt. Also depends if hubby wants to give up space in our lil crapy one car garage and let...

Good to know. I ordered interior knobs and arm rest from Wolfsburg and my friend (Bug is 3 hrs from me :( said it all looks quality, I'll go up & work on it 4th July weekend. My other friend who is huge Bug/vw guy says their stuff is OK. but he loves quality of B.B.T., so that where i'm gonna tr...

I emailed BBT and asked how the heck do I order from you and they sent my email to this guy enricoh83@yahoo.com remember I have not ordered from him YET. So i can't vouch for him but he has been prompt in returning e-mails and answering my questions. The BBT site has a pdf catalog to down load with ...

Sweet! You guy are so helpful! I know I'm lighting up the board but it's all good! That's what it's for.

The parts are not included. I'm getting parts from B.B.T when the time comes, I've heard from a few they are GOOD seals German made! My windshield has got a chip in it and will have to be replaced so this will be the time to do it. All the shops are saying they take the windshield out so. I'm not ob...

I keep going back and forth and it's annoying me!!!! So give me your .002 cents vote Should I convert to 12 Volt or not. I know it depends on what i want but I'm not gonna get what i really want anyway so help me weigh the options. I need to decide by end July. So here's the deal.... I'm restoring i...

What do you guys think of this price quote for Headliner install and rubber seals with chrome! This DOES NOT INCLUDE PARTS The cost to install the headliner in your 1966 VW sedan without sunroof is $650.00. This will include the following: Removal of the original headliner and glass (front, Rear an...

Guess I found the answer and it's No there wasn't a shift pattern per a Bug guy who is a B.B.T. parts dealer but that company offers a knob with a pattern.
I'm gonna stick w/ the stock sylte knob.

Who knows on our year '66 was there a shift pattern on the knob. My knobs are Grey so i'm replace the wooden one that is on it. I ordered a plain Grey one from Wolfsburg West but is that correct or did it have pattern?

thanks
all good advice! I was planning on spending 100.00 a tire but hopefully not more. I won't be able to show for awhile so I think I will go w/4 white walls one reg spare and it's gonna be my weekend car not daily driver. So now I'll start shopping around now that i know size etc.

That's good to know thx, because i grabbed it anyway only 25 buck so i'm happy i saved some money not buying a new one!

I'd like to put the Whitewall replica tires on my bug for a stock look. I see a few different sizes posted here. Can some one please tell me what size etc i'm looking for. I also understand the whitewall was a thin one in '66? Also a place to get them, I'm in CA but I can have them shipped. For your...
