Yay - It's alive!

Hi all,

I just wanted to tell the world that the VW Beetle that I purchased a few weeks ago runs. Well the engine runs.

It is leaking fuel everywhere but it idles great!

I now need to buy some new hoses and gaskets.

Lovin' the bug so far.

Good one. Any photos or video?

I have just ordered a crapload of bits. I will take some video when I change the fuel hoses out and replace the fuel pump gasket.

Congratulations and while you are getting fuel hoses, make sure the filter is not in the engine bay.

And all the brass pipes are solid in the aluminium housings! (they do come loose)
