but got 2k to throw at the 66! would like it to be done for sandown 2011! but maybe i'm dreaming.

i'm after a set of black 66 only seats if anyone knows of any?

There is a guy on Ebay with a set for sale - search beetle seat and he has a rear seat for sale but also has the fronts as well by the look of it .

Hope you get them - He just doesnt want to scrap them by the look of it .

hey, did you manage to find them?

Like that even more than the 65.

Nice one

thanks! i kind of regret selling the 65, but i'm glad it went to the right person, look at it now!

don't worry, the cookie cutters are only on there to roll it about on!

the worst bits are the rear body mounts and bumper mounts

SlammedSixtyFive · 01-09-2010, 04:12 PM

the dings and dents have been sorted

not the only person to think that?

a post gutter has been pulled out and straightened, 1/4 panel too, as it has had a bit of a knock

went down today to rebuild this odd shifter i have

rear bumper mount welded in already! and rear body mount was all welded in by the time i left, hookeys ones didnt fit mine sadly, so had to use the usual repro bumper mounts

i still have the original 1966 body mounts if anyone wants to make a good copy of them? the passenger side one looks exactly the same as the usual repro style you can buy, but the drivers looks like a late one, for the z bar, with the pressing, but not cut out!

front end pulled out and straightened, don't worry, the filler looks worse than it is, just a light skim

and look at the size of the amp under the bonnet, then you can understand how big the stereo was that was in it

and here is the inspiration, this week anyway :P

the inner wing is finished off, nice and smooth! flush panel joins
just the heater channel end plate to do...
can't even tell it has ever been welded (well, the repairs are invisible), and the spotwelds have been remade too
