The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Hey! OK so I haven't posted in awhile but recently my starter went bad. I'm 98% sure it's the solenoid but am not sure whether it's worth it to just replace the whole 6v starter (i have a 12v engine, which could've been part of the reason why it went bad), ORRRR just replace the solenoid? :? Really ...

I don't meant to thread-bump , but where near the shifter is the replaced dimmer? I'm still a newb and actually didn't even know I was supposed to have a dimmer!! On my signal arm I don't have a button on the back... that's why I ask! Thanks guys!

kind of a long time between posts.... but, i double checked the front fenders and it doesn't look resealed or bondo'd, so I'm gonna assume that the previous owner just put new fenders on ... would this be a safe assumption? regardless, there's a VW shows (Volksblast) here in Miami in a couple weeks,...

that's a good idea with the motorcycle blinkers... i'll look into it.

if i decide not to go that route, thanks for the tip finding the original locations on the fenders

wow very nice bug you have there.is the set of turn blinkers inside the headlight housing or the small bumper square stand offs? But anyway YES you can find a set of "used in good condition" set of turn signal units on THE SAMBA. The holes are already there to poke the wires thru the fron...

LOL yea, thanks for resizing them! :oops: :) and yeah, my boyfriend's '62 is out fo commission right now,he pulled the motor to exchange the generator and an alternator, and he's cleaning it up a bit too and replacing a few old parts (long overdue!) tonight we're hitting up an old car meet, and the ...

I've got some relatively odd-positioned blinker lights in the front. I was wondering, if anyone could tell me, the procedure to move the blinkers from the front bumper to the top of the fenders?? is what i'm talking about even possible on my car? here's a pic of the front of my car so you guys can s...

same.. searched 1966 bug and i got this site. cept for it was after i bought mine

lol you'd love my boyffriend's 62 bug... her name is betsy, but another nickname is "slammo camo" cuz of how low she sits! and she's painted urban cammo lmao.

Hey guys! Glad to find a forum created for '66 bugs! I guess you could consider me an intermediate gearhead, but there's still a lot of stuff I don't know! My boyfriend's got a 62 hardtop, so he's taught me a lot about old bugs.
BTW, anyone located in or around the Miami area??

Here are a few pics!
