Hi all, new to the forum. Just bought a 1302 project and wondering what I have gotten myself in to......

^^^^^^ hey fella, welcome. You have gotten your self into a new love affair

Post up the resto so we can see how you go

Maybe the site could have a new thread titled "F@$&wittery thread" you know ,those times you make a stoopid or very bad mistake because your brain shifted into neutral. I know I have had a few moments. An example would be getting ready to throw some heads on and sliding them up, thinking wow that went in easy ,torquing them up then realising I forgot to put in the pushrods tubes.

Anyhoo, good luck with it...

Welcome to the madhouse. Feel free to post some pics and ask any questions you need. To save some confusion though, 1302 is what they call them in other countries. They are known as an S bug here.

Whereabouts in Brisbane are you?

Thanks all, apparently I don't have a superbug, just a standard 1300. I'm located on the southeside, Shailer Park.

Welcome Banshee, whatever you've got it's all good. If you are looking to breathe life back into a Beetle, there will be people interested. Good luck with it, and post some pictures when you can.

Welcome Banshee. Buying a dub is the beginning of FUN!
