Hi all.
Just thought I would place my first post here to say hi.
Bought a delightful 🤪 pink convertible 1974 superbug for the missus last weekend.
The plan was to buy one that was no work involved except for maybe a few small jobs, but unfortunately the wife saw this one and I couldnt change her mind. 😬
Original asking price $6500, but when I rang they told me the car was off the road with engine problems (piston rings where mentioned) I rang the seller again after 3 weeks when they dropped the price to $3500 and went to have a look. A couple of hours later, I was the proud owner of a pink beetle for the tune of $2000 😂
Now I have another project on my hands (and I am not very mechanically minded) so hopefully can get a bit of advice from everybody here.
I will need to get the engine rebuilt/revised, need all the seats re-upholstered & also need a new dash just to start the ball rolling.
I am in Monbulk in the Dandenong ranges, but can travel all around Melbourne if neccesary.
pinky.
