Hi All,
Just got my first beetle... (well i rescued it from being scraped). Its a very rusty 69 beetle. I hope to do all (or most) of the repairs on it, so
its going to be a very long project. Well at least its not going to be junked...
Also the first time I am going to restore a car (this badly rusted). So I will be asking a lot of questions, looks like there are quite a few
knowledgeable members on this forum.
G'day and welcome
Post a couple of pics of your project and ask away with the questions
We reckon we know everything
Welcome and yes there are a lot of knowledgable people on this site ready to answer your questions on late Beetles,nice to see another Bug saved.
Here are some pictures

Thanks for the welcome guys.
68Volkaru - great to see another VW guy close to home.
I have changed my plan slightly. Because the body was rather extremely rusted, I have purchased a 67 beetle body in much better condition and plan to
put the 67 body on the 69 pan
So the looks of the 67 with the disk brakes and newer bits of the 69.
Lots of 67 and 69 bits and bobs to source⦠and need to buy a
welder.
Welcome and good luck with the rescue!
I have a UniMig 190 MTS your welcome to come and have a go of. Got it from the WORLD famous Fisher Discount yearly sale last year. Good little welder. I see they have a Mig only 180 for approx $350. Be a good buy.
