Seriously cannot tahan looking at one of this unmolested Bug





Love the VW-embossed Centre wheel chrome hubcap...

Any advice from you SiFus out here? I always wanted one but dont know if parts are still cheap and the general availibility of parts?

I know they are very easy to work on...

Any advice appreciated.

Them beetle parts can be be bought new so I guess that if you're gonna restore one, it ain't gonna be hard to source the parts you need. All you need is $$$$ to bring them in.

the later beetle stuff is easy, they were made in brazil till recently, i think theres a guy in malacca opposite the geographer bar that stocks panals.... i remember working on my mates mums car...nicly built, but it used to spit plugs out...and it was a pain getting them out of the motor air cowling, and even more of a paint refitting them......

go for it, buy the best you can afford and enjoy it mate

There's definitely tonnes of putty on the whole body of that beetle.

Beetles are a great choice for a classic ride...probably..one of the easiest and cheapest to maintain (cheaper than the mini..hands down)...parts are easy to get hold of...plenty of "experts".... ...

the best part of owning a bug...is BUGFEST and BUG-O-RAMA

also there are various looks you can go for... my perosnal favourite is the Cal-Look... simply breathtaking ...

Air cool is the way to go....

I think you should fully concentrate on the Dodge at the moment,
make it a head turner and then sit and ponder whether you need to jump into the bug grave.
But I admit I watch Beetle crisis and Campervan and I am hooked also but nah........

Yesterday saw Wreck Rescue and a 20yr old British chick did a rust bucket Frog-eyed Sprite all by
herself into a pristine one, it was absolutely beautiful resto...

BS7539 is ok...easy to put back to stock.

if your buying, id try to find an early model, are there any split rear screen ones here in bolehland?

[aron56]

Actually BS7539 is what you call the Mulholand look. In the 80's every youth were going for this design though
