fitting '70 std beetle body parts on a '67 std beetle

I don't think your going to be able to use any of that. From what I recall, every peice you listed for replacement is a one year only part.

I would hit local swap mets, etc. I just picked up a '67 deck lid, complete with the license plate light assembly, for $5.00 at a local sale :)

ugh ... think i could at least use the glass? i'm hoping to catch farmington next week; hopefully someone will have something for me there.

Not even the glass. The 67 is unique and a 1 off year. Only 67 parts will fit. Good luck

Are you kidding us? Sure, several 67 parts were unique, but not every doggone part is one-year only.

Just what I have heard. But don't know for sure John. Someone more knoledgable than me will need to address that.

IIRC Yes some 67 body parts are for the 67 only, but a lot of parts will fit. And don't try to find a 67 Beetle Conv door like I had to do! lol I think I used a 70s rear apron and engine lid on my 66 Beetle. I also believe that 66 and 67 are close.

sad but true. i never saw the dog again though - probably ran off into the woods and started pushing up daisies shortly thereafter. probably good for me; had i simply pissed him off, he was certainly big enough to eat me. i do have a swath of fur still caught between the rubber and the rim - proof of the unfortunate encounter.

I hit a deer once in the '69 Bug, but the encounter was luckier for both of us--the three of us, actually. It was in the middle of the night on the Taconic Parkway in upstate New York. I swerved into the left lane to avoid him, but heard a sickening *thunk* anyway. I pulled over to inspect the damage...and so did the guy who'd been driving behind me--and whom I hadn't seen--to ask why I cut him off! I just pointed at the deer lying on the shoulder. In a second it got up and bounded into the woods. The guy was pretty rattled, too, and he poured us both some whiskey. Which got me home, but I didn't sleep much that night. All the bug needed was a new headlight and rim.

Well f*ck you jack. Since when do you decide what is posted here and what is not. I shall post whatever I damn well please about anything I want. If it is wrong, I am sure someone will tell me, but it aint gonna be you. Please let everyone know when it was that you purchased this newsgroup K?
