My girlfriend got a bug which means I am a bug mechanic

Beetles went 12 Volt in 67, the first year of the vertical headlights. from 68 they had the revised bumpers as well.

 

Young mans VW Bug "Bible"


This "Bible" is older than most of you but tucked away safely within this Gear Heads archives...

I miss the simplicity of working on these

 

My build is up and running, but need to break into the carb and adjust it for the 10k elevation. She still marks her territory with an oil leak.

I just need it to be a bit warmer so i feel like tinkering with it.

But it handled fresh tracks through 6+ inches of fresh snow and icy roads without an issue.

 

Eventually I'd like to find one of these as well, look like fun little play cars! Europe's Model T essentially, not much to 'em.

 

my long time friend, best man at a wedding, and godfather to one of my kids dad, "Boo" pioneered a subaru swap on this ride. He's got the patents on a kit he developed. pretty sweet. ill share some more pics soon.
