72 beetle
Hi guys this is my 72 beetle I have been building for a while now .

gearbox to quickly

Saw your car at Day of the Volksy at TTP.
It nicely done!
There is a monthly meet on Pultney St called ParkPlatz - haven't quite got there myself yet, almost have the old girl back on the road, so not sure
on turn out etc.
User T-34 on here (or https://vdubber.com/events/viewevent/183-parkplatz ) has details on it.

I'm a complete and utter newbie going through a steep learning curve 
Mine still running the original 1500 but it is getting a bit tired - funds pending I'll prob rebuild it when the time comes rather than put something
with more grunt in.

OMG, that is probably why there is a bearing noise. Couldn't top the oil up even if you wanted too
