ive just bought a 60 beetle that was rolled and its pretty bent in the body. It still has 7 months rego on it so i'm thinking of putting my 62 body on it and driving it for the time being
my questions are
the 60 is still 6 volt and the lady just spent hundreds fixing up the system new battery reco generator all terminals cleaned so I think I'll stick with that as it works fine
but my 62 has been converted to 12 volt so I'm thinking I need to change all bulbs back to 6 volt, flasher can etc what about wiper motor it would just have a voltage drop wouldnt it? if so what would it look like?
anything else I should look out for?
