| Anyone in the San Antonio TX area willing to help me evaluate my 67 bug? Trying to figure out if it is worth it to take the body off and replace floor plans and powder coat the roller. I am pretty sure the body is a little bad but the problem is I am not a body repair guy. I am also contemplating giving it to my kid and buying me another one, preferably RHD, and starting over for me. Anybody wiling to help would be greatly appreciated! |

I could help out, I'm in SATX on the West side.
If you were to post a few pictures here you would get a bunch of posts with feedback that would help as well.
Really it would come down to how much you can do, and how much you would need to have a shop do. I usually tell people they either have to be handy and be willing to DIY or have deep pockets...cause labor is not cheap and parts aren't much cheaper.
Anyway, if you want to meet up PM me, I'd be glad to help. _________________ -Mike

Howdy neighbor ...
I'm REAL close to San Antonio but on the east side.
I'd be willing to have a look-see as well.
The air cooled community is alive & thriving here with more than a few good clubs available.
If it runs & drives go to Biff's Burgers parking lot every Friday evening cuz there's almost always a few peeps there. 35 north @ Toepperwein.
PM if'n ya wants to !
Best to you ... stay safe
