bd01.JPG (62031 bytes) This is her along with my wife and daughter. I do not know much of the history yet, but am searching for more information.  bd02.JPG (67159 bytes) She is a '65 VW Squareback. She is equipped with a factory crank sunroof, roof rack, clear side markers, a 1600cc engine without carburetors (previous owner wanted them), stock 4 speed manual transmission and the original push button lights and wipers.
bd04.JPG (63493 bytes) Cracked tail lights. Screwed on chrome. Roof rack is misaligned. Window seals are cracked. bd03.JPG (43555 bytes) Drivers Fender. Rust has eaten through above Head light bezel. Repair.
bd07.JPG (44497 bytes) Drivers door is dinged. Rocker (under door) is rusted through, which also contains the heater ducts. Repair. bd05.JPG (33753 bytes) Passenger fender rusted through. Might be able to repair instead of replacing. Repair.
bd06.JPG (37824 bytes) Passenger door is not to bad, but again the rocker has rusted through. Replace. bd08.JPG (31913 bytes) Paul, at TypeThreeDetectives, says that this should read "Volkswagen 1500 S". I will have to get the "1500 S"
DSC00018.JPG (50060 bytes) This is the location of the battery, which is under the rear fold up seat. As typically found on VW's of this age, the pans are rusted through. Replace. DSC00019.JPG (53541 bytes) Here is the other side. Notice the new 12v and the old 6v voltage regulator. The big black thing is how the heat is transferred from the engine, in the rear, to the front of the Squareback. 
DSC00020.JPG (55195 bytes) Shifter on the left. Emergency brake on the right with seat belt catches. In the middle is the heater/temperature controls. Can you believe how dirty it is? Disgusting! DSC00021.JPG (40142 bytes) Seat belt catches with "white" releases. Worn wholes in emergency brake cover. Yes, that really is supposed to  be white.
in3.JPG (54598 bytes) Cracked dash pad. Fresh air vent controls on the right side of the dash. On the left of the steering column is the parking/head light and wiper/washer push button controls. The two color shift knob is hard to find. DSC00013.JPG (54397 bytes) Spaghetti anyone? I just love it when people who haven't a clue about electrical start trouble shooting. What a mess. By the time I get done with this I will probably know the schematic by heart.
