The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Hello from Sydney. I only just recently picked up a little 66 beetle 2 weeks ago for the fiancé to get around town in. To be honest I didn't really do my homework, I looked at a couple but pretty much jumped at this one when I saw it. It's running (when it starts) and has rego until December. The P...

Question? Is it the original 1300 cc? And is it still running the 6volt system or has it been changed to 12volt?

That piece is the same on the 66. It will work through 67. I took the same piece off of a 60 parts car and used it on a 66. That part is interchangeable on the 53-67. The front bumper brackets are interchangeable from the 53-67 as well, as a side note. On the rear bumper it didnt use the overrider t...

That is too funny 1966veedub!

Welcome Chris! Glad to hear you are enjoying your convertible bug. Congratulations! The cool thing is even after many years of driving classic VW's a nice drive will always evoke a big smile. It never gets old...
We would love to see some pics of your Vw. Is it a 66?

Sounds like a real gem Brian! Good luck with this next project.

Hello, I have a 66, beetle and this is my first one. I have two round knobs directly on the sides of my emergency break, one is white and the other red, can someone tell me their functions? Thanks alot! The red lever if it's hooked up and your car is equipped with heater boxes operates how much hea...

Sweet ride brother! A real nice find. Especially with zero rust. Thanks for sharing the photos..

Yes, definitely not with a bottle jack. It would likely not fit under the sump plate anyway, and more importantly it could cause the damage fatal spoke of and if it did slip the more likely damage is bent push rod tubes and push rods. Seen it happen! Or bodily injury! My floor jack has a plate that ...

Sorry, my phone died and only half the message got sent. Anyway, just be carefull. The floor pans are just sheet metal and won't take the weight of the car without seriously bending the floor. A small floor jack won't be to cost prohibitive and generally much safer. Jack stands are a must if your go...

Please note that when jacking up your car especially with bottle jacks there is not many good places to put the jack. DO NOT put it under the floor pan. And usually bottle jacks are to tall to fit anywhere good under the car. You are much better off investing in a small floor jack that has a lower p...
