G'Day all

Hi,
I'm in Newcastle NSW and this is my first beetle. I was given it from my Father-in law and would like to fix it up to show him that I could. not much poking involverd in that. I have pressure cleaned it inside and out and it is in dyre need of the Flinstone cure and and engine thing to fix the sezure it is suffering. it is a 64-66 Mod with an F-serise motor.
Is the 1640 the way to go straight up or do I fix it as a 1300 motor.
Leave it as a 6V or change it to 12V?
So many questions to have answered but this is always the fun i guess.

Havin heeps of fun

unless ur a die hard purist skip the 6volt system and convert it

batteries are hard to get and can be big $$, the headlights suck and starting is even worse
plus no decent audio 🤪

skip the 1640 and just stay 1600 the extra 56cc isnt worht the cost of machineing or the slip style for the loss of reliability

Where in newcastle r u located?
