Hi all, After being seriously ripped off with my last beetle i thought id start over. I found this one owner beetle on the trading post web site. She's had a few bumps in her life was stolen in 1987 then recovered, I have the newspaper story from that. the Little old lady kept a note pad for fuel repairs etc which was given to me too. Genuine 40000 mile car. I fitted the 2" narrowed adjustable beam and adjustable spring plates from my rat shit box also the 12 volt system. Ordered a 12v wiper armature from Vintage Veedub plus a new ignition switch. Scott, Lee Noonan's son showed me how he modified his head lights to fit the indicators in them so i did that mod yesterday and then welded up the indicator holes in the fenders looks so much better me thinks...finally got to fit my new wheels i got from my lovely lady for xmas. Car is a pleasure to drive the gear box is smooth little underpowered (for now) 1200cc run like a dream. My future plans are a full airkewld air ride kit body off restoration in original paint and replace the tan interior with a red TMI kit. then to drive and enjoy! Oh and some more ponies 🙂 Cheers Jodie Original purchase invoice dated 13/8/1964.
