Hello everyone!!! I just bought a 1974 Super Beetle Sun Bug edition. It needs a lot of work but I can't wait to make her mine! Can anyone point me in a direction about turtle backs? When I bought my bug they were on there. But I haven't been able to find much info on them. thanks![/img]

I just saw a young lady about an hour ago driving a red SB on my street (Country Hills Drive) in Ogden. That wasn't you was it?

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw your gallery pics. :oops:

Welcome. I live down in Centerville. Probably wont see my cruising around in my Bug for a while, as it's still apart, but I'm up to Ogden a lot as I go to Weber State. I always keep an eye out for bugs!

A Sun Bug either has a sunroof or is a convert.

Nice bug though....and my sister works at HAFB.

Hmmm, wonder if I know her? Odds are not, there are something like a total of 20,000 people that work there. But its possible. Does she drive a vw?

Randy my bug does have a sunroof. That is part of the reason I bought it!!! The few pictures I have posted you can't see it.

The one thing I wish my car had is a sunroof. That would make it perfect. I just don't want to put an aftermarket one in, too much leaking.

if you need any engine work Art at ACE VW tuning does top notch work. I just had him do the work on my 68 (adjusting for altitude CA to UT) and my car runs like a champ. And if It counts, I work in Ogden, but live in SLC. So hi all.

Art does do Top notch work, and he's a really nice guy to boot. It's fun to go hang around his shop for a bit, see what projects they've got going on. Especially on Club night (first Thursday of every month), then lots of people have their cars there.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase.

I'm in SLC as well, kinda new to the board (posting wise at least) myself. :wave
