New member, long time beetle owner...

Hi fellow veedubers...
My name is Julio and im a new member here, I'm 36yo and bought my 1st beetle in Brazil when i was 17. Its a 1961 model and i still have it back in Brazil.

I just purchased my 2nd Beetle yesterday (same day that my 1st son was born). Its a 1966 model with 42000 miles on the clock and it was sitting in a garage for the last 45 years.
logbook+vw booklet.
It needs a bit of work but its in very good condition (rust free) for its age.


The main job will be cleaning the tank+fuel line and brake system. Ill try to find some info but tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I'm really excited to start this little project and to be a part of this group.

ill be posting a few photos as soon i figure out an easy way to do it 🙂

Thank you

Thank you, My intention is to have it running before the vw nationals 2017!
At the moment I'm just cleaning it and getting organised to go shopping for ignition and break parts...
