My Little Bug

Post by Bug-Eyed »

The '66 Beetle Sedan I bought this past week-end need some minor work on the steering, heating system, driver seat and needs a radio that works.

I've already adjusted the steering gear box a bit to take some of the slack out. I bought an FM radio that is on it way here that will be a nice addition to the Bug.

The drivers seat needs some TLC because the backrest leans back to far and the mechanism needs replacing or repair.

Someone has either replaced the door handles or ignition switch because there are two different keys. I wonder if a good locksmith can re-key one or the other.
