NOTE: this was moved from beetle late model/super forum

UPDATE: I got it today. I cant be happier. damn thing runs great. it does need wheel bearings in the passenger front wheel but that damn motor runs like a top. Im able to keep up in traffic without too much trouble.

Its gonna need an oil change and valve adjustment but i kinda expected that anyways.

Im finally getting a beetle. its a 1974 standard, its in good mechanical working order and the body isnt too bad minus a couple of small patches of rust.

I even have pics, crappy because they were taken with a cell phone. but anyways













the car in the background in the second pic is my current daily driver. anyways id figure id spread the news

Nice fatty, what do you plan on doing to it?

KT1986 Sun Jan 06, 2008 2:01 pm

i want to do a mixture of custom and restoration stuff to it. i kinda like the red, i dont know if its original or not but. Its not a super, which is fine. i dont really have a preference anyways.

I got a couple of friends that have volkswagens (74 westy and 74 sunbug) and its kinda ironic that we will all have 1974 veedubs.
