VW Beetle Rookie here. Very proud to join the VW fam.
Well- after 35 years of wanting a Beetle, I found exactly what I was looking for (without having to build one) 3 weeks ago and brought it home. A 1968 beautiful-beautiful restored bug that sat in a guy’s shop for the last 3 years for the most part. He occasionally drove it to keep it from getting stagnant. I’ve spent every night in the garage getting familiar with it and replacing obvious parts that are needed from sitting.
However, I’d like find a mechanic on the north side of Houston to get it running top notch and make sure it has 100% bill of health. It runs decent now but sure it could use a tune up and I just don’t have knowledge of all the intricacies yet. I plan on being efficient in making repairs myself in the future….just need a mentor to get me started.
Let me know if anyone here (or knows of anyone) in North Houston specializes in working on Beetles. This forum has already helped me tremendously. |
