Hi all fellow VeeDubbers

You know when you start a project and then realise how quickly you are in over your head, well I have had such a realisation. In fact im not sure why I ever thought that I could attempt something like this by myself.

I have a 63 Beetle in bits with the dream/ambition of putting her back together, only problem is mechanically I have two left thumbs, and no idea what I am doing..

The floorpan has been blasted and sprayed, engine is ready, front disc brake kit assembled on a 2" narrowed beam ready to go in and all the bits that came off the car in bags carefully labelled.

I am looking for a fellow veedubber who has experience in ground up rebuilds (happy to come a financial arrangement) who might be willing to help get another Beetle back on the road.

Thanks all for your time, pls msg me or give me a call on 0400 472 071

Cheers

Matt
