A few more in better light.

That sure turned out nice. 😎 :beer:

Wow! What a difference! Didn't first recognize the frontpage here.. :D
Mostly just been driving the bug this summer since the annual inspection was done.

So far been driving 2600km since the first week in June. :)

Yesterday we (the 66 and I) participated in a local cruising with a few others from WestVolks.

Oh my!! Almost a year since last post in this thread...:oops:

Stored the -66 for the winter in early September in the summerhouse garage.



Checked it in March...




Brought it home again in late April this spring getting ready for the 1st of May cruising.



1st of May.



Then have been driving it occasionally during summer.

This week it recieved new rearwheels.

Was out to the countryside driving with the family a few weeks ago. While the wife was checking a small fleamarket I got the opportuity to take some nice photos.. :thumbup:




Today I replaced the worn out dual Solexes with the 66 own original 1300 single carb and now it runs way much better even though the engine is a 1680cc...

---

Damned good looking car, there.

---

Just wondering what paint you used on that 2k or 1k paint?

2k solid topcoat from a professional bodyshop.

---

Ok. Now the winter seems to be giving in over here too so the past month I have spent on tracking some 12V parts prior to a 6V -> 12V conversion.

Found a smallbody 12V generator so I can keep as much stock look as possible in the enginebay. Unfortunately I couldn't find a 12V regulator that have the same body as the 6V. I know for a fact that Porsche Tractors have those... (My Super does..):wink:

Today I gave the 30 PICT-1 an overhaul and replaced the acceleratorpump diaphrams etc.



Also replaced the 125 mainjet with a 130 instead. Read in several placed that the 130 in the 30 PICT works well on 1600+ stock engines.



Today I got all the parts together again. Had to push the car out of the winterhibernation as it was too dark to see how to connect the turnsignal relay and headlight relay... :)

The generator regulator location is maybe not the most optimal but I think the overall look still looks satisfying..


The car still looks good taking in the concideration that I didn't wax or polish it at all last year...

---

As I was in a hurry yesterday I had to leave the beetle outside at the summerhouse and return today for the teststart...

Here's how it looked like today...

Very nice car, did you sell it BTW?

Oops... Long time since i posted here....
No, we still have this one. Will be getting the stock exhaust back this summer.

---

Here's a few photos from the past summer too.. :wink:
Converted the car to 12V and instead of using resistors or similar for the wipermotor I took a volvo 245 rearwipermotor and replaced the rotor and magneto from that to the original -66 wipermotor.



It was used bumperless last year again.

---

Still got this one. Been our daily driver the past years during summer season.

Here's some photo's from the past summer.

 
 
 
 
 

New plans for this for next summer.. Dropspindles will go. We'll see what else.. :wink:

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Not much here but been driving this some the past summer. Now it still have not found itself inside so sitting in the cold....

 

The past years I have had some new plans for this and collected some parts...

 
 

So this week started working on a set of spare lower trailingarms....

 
 

Type-181 balljoints going in:
 

The endresult will be a -66 kommanderwagen wannabe..... :unsure:

---

Hi!
Long time but now here again!
In august 2018 I started this mod.
Changed the spindles from lowering spindles to the type-181 spindles.



And in the rear I changed the driveaxles to type-2 axles with reduction boxes and my own design adapters.

---

End result measured with beer cans.

---

Kommanderwagen finished!
