Very cool. Will need some $$$$$ new fenders (correct ones) Round grills. split window bumpers. (crotch cooler or before?) are the crotch coolers there? 16 inch rims $$$. Lind gets containers of those fenders from BBT and sells them very good prices. 1/2 the cost of other places. He is in idaho If your out and about. gonna take some $$$ and time. Lets hope there is not too much hidden rust.
Also yeah as soon as I saw it come out of the barn I knew it didn't have the right front fenders The bumpers are also incorrect And taillights of courseGood luck with that project can't wait to see it, I will subscribe
@@turbostoybox2182 m codes should be on the birth cert. But look at the trim holes. see if they are drilled or factory stamped Look and see in the floor area if there is something covered up on the crotch cooler area. you can buy all the parts to install them from BBT. also Repop original split moldings $$$$$
@@Mikefngarage Spent hours looking thru old forum posts today. Nearest I can figure it was a std with sunroof which was stupid rare I guess? Maybe with optional side molding? I haven’t been able to locate any other tags yet in the trunk area except the one I had the picture of in the video.
@@turbostoybox2182 more I think about it.....that is a standard. and at some point somebody drilled the doors for trim. would have no crotch coolers, that steering wheel. they usually came in that color (very common) I didnt see the seats in there I hope you got them they are super expensive. probably at least 3 grand. Check the hood and make sure its a 5 hole with long support, Big spring decklid with the v shaped spring holder. if i recall correct the standards didnt have horn grills. if it is missing a lot of parts go to Bad Camberg. and find them there. Will cost a bit to ship them but you wont find them in the US. way cheaper there. email Bob at BBT if you go there and see if anyone is sending out a container. Put the parts in with someone elses stuff. Very cool to have a standard or deluxe split. all super desirable.
Score of a lifetime! Congrats!
What a cool car. My brother had a 66’ Bug in high school.
Every VW lovers dream ! Good luck 🍀! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴
