Just indroducing myself
Hello,
I own a 1968 VW beetle 1500cc which I only got a few weeks ago, I'm 19 and almost finished my fitting and machining apprentiship after 4 years. I
bought my beetle as a little introduction project to full rebuilds and modifying. I'm not sure what I am going to do as far as body work goes as at
the moment I'm trying to work out what I'm best off doing with the engine. I would like decent performance but keeping it as a regularly driven car.
So anyways, thats me.

I'm in Lithgow NSW, about 2 hours west of Sydney. It might not look like much but so far it seems to be mechanically good and almost rust free. 
Oh and i also have a 1996 Golf GL as my daily driver, great car
