new beetle owner - 67 - new pics all cleaned up!

[airkooledchris]

thanks for the parts ID so far.

I have a few more lots of parts to show....

another chunky bracket that looks similiar to the one with the antenna connection shown above, some misc gaskets, a hard metal line (fuel?), and a really old looking (but in seemingly fantastic shape) old brown dist cap. the contacts on the inside look new.

next is what I think ive heard referenced to as 'J-tubes' - some sort of option to bypass the stock heating system right? along with a new in package replacement antenna.

here is a closer look at that bumper mount bracket from the first pic:

per request, a few more shots of the actual car. some of these showing more of why it was such a killer deal (rust)

lowest picture-far bottom right is fat chick bus mustache rubber mount. the steel sleeves near exhaust tips are heater box repair sleeves for rusted out ends that go into muffler. the 205K dist is stock for 67.

Top picture are heater box levers.
Picture with exhaust pee shooters are heater box repair inserts. You use them when the tips from the heater boxes are corroded beyond use.

I updated the original post with some additional photo's of the box of parts that came with this beetle. any help with identifying/correcting what is shown above is appreciated.

Awesome little car! - Congrats on the find.

A bottle of brasso would work wonders on your chrome. Keep the restoration pics coming.

So this 67 that was found here in my hometown is officially signed over to me now. I just paid the owner and picked up the title, as well as about 7 boxes of parts.

original lights, distributor, hub caps, replacement (new in box) interior parts, brakes, you name it and it's probably already there. (in boxes, not saying all of the original parts are on the car)

In the end, after seeing all of the parts that actually came with it, it was an amazing deal. There has to be a few hundred bucks worth of new parts in boxes, let alone all of the original to this 67 parts that were stowed away over the years.

It's still sitting over in front of the original owners place for now while I arrange the DMV paperwork, insurance/etc, but the fun officially starts now.

At some point this weekend im going to try and photograph/document all of the spares and originals parts that came with it to see what should be put back on and what's better left alone. (those funky original seatbelt mounts came with it, but appear to be just lap belts and no shoulder restraints - something like that I suppose the replacements are best left in place.)



im finally a beetle owner!

****************************************

update.

started taking pictures of the spare parts boxes for identification...

Random brackets?

fuel pumps? USA on left, VW in middle, Brasil on right.

exhaust tips? the little sleeves in front of them the PO said might be part of that same setup.

original carb?

original dist?

pass side mirror? there is none there now.

a horn, some sort of rubber bushings and the bottom left appears to be some sort of bumper/antenna mount?
