Hello all. I havent been on this forum for a long time. probably an silly question, but which section should i be using? I have just recovered a September 1957 beetle (big back window). I guess it would be the same as the 58 on as it has not got an oval window.
Cheers in advance

Beetle 1958-1967

You might find it’s a split pan and body in which case you might need to play in the pre 1957

You can buy a ticket that covers both Fora here , though!

Very Happy

Had a similar dilemma with mine, an August 67 with lots of the "67 only" features, but mostly 68 model year, and a few parts unique to a couple of months of that year. I ended up in Readers rides for the main restoration and use the model year forums for year specific bits. It seems pre 67 aren't interested in the "fat chicks", but the post 68 is mostly supers, so I'm happy surfing the crossover. You may have to do the same, using pre 57 and post 58 depending on what you're after, and choosing post 58, Readers rides, or here for any bigger build thread.

I find similar with the Vintage speed section being 40hp and earlier. Okrasa interest seems limited to the 25/30hp based engines, so the TSV1800 engine I recently found and plan on re-building doesn't fit, but it also doesn't seem to really be big enough for interest in the Performance section.

Yes, Beetle - 1958-1967 is the correct area.

If you need help in both Fora there are people who will help, and the ignore function is perfect for those who have dull axes about what car is “kewl”
