My 1966 Beetle
This is my 1966 Beetle...
The plan is a fairly mild rat...- cheaper that way!
Have done all the electrics...
Its just been converted to 12 V.
1300 Removed...
1776 Engine going in soon.
In the photo, it shows the brightness of the 6V Bulbs (candles!!)
Awesome interior...
Some custom looks...

Yeah. Was thinking of doing that, but its not under any pressure so it doesn't really matter. But i suppose you can't be too careful!?

Another update.
I have put on my new bumpers and given them a good polish.
My front end has been pulled apart, and thanks to fellow Dubbers, i have successfully installed drop spindles, new King and Link pins, new bump stops,
new tie rods and new shock absorbers all around.
I have bought some 15 X 6inch Widened Rims to go on the rear too!

Did a bit more on the Beetle, as it was raining, so no outside activity 
I ground back the Decklid for rust repair asap. Found that it was full of half a ton of bog!
Also, got the back bumper on, all the dents work perfectly for the Original Classic rat! 
The number plates were on just for looks, makes me feel closer to the day when they are bolted on for rego!
