Great going scot.
I think you did great for $1200! I too am working on a 66 (plus others).
I've been storing up parts for my 57 and 66 for some time (while my interests were elsewhere) and now I'm back on the 66 project.
I've already rebuilt and lowered the front end. Replaced everything from the brake lines out to the hubs (which I'm going to redrill for the fuchs now that I have them). The car is 99% rust free with really only minor surface rust in the cracks.
I'll post photos as time allows. Good Luck with yours!
Go with the white side for sure, and add some billet aluminum running boards. And if you can find them, try and get some billet door hinges as well. Saw it on a Teal/White bug a few years back. It looks clean and high tech.
Thanks for all the replies. I'm leaning toward solid blue myself for the old skool look with the fuchs... I think it will offset the chrome and stainless steel trim etc.
As for motivation.. probably a heathly 2 liter after the body is slick and together. I have a chromed over 1600 with a progressive ready (you can see the doghouse in the rear shot above on my first post) for install right now (done is several years ago) but want to change the final engine look up some with the 2 liter. Clean and simple etc.
