Air cooled bikes. Good luck with the project. Tons of parts for them.

Had two beetles including a 73 super beetle, best cars I ever had. People always say to me they are so unreliable, I say show me your new ford after 30 years of being passed down from one mechanically inept person to another!
Aah I miss my beetle......^-^

Any updates on the Bug? Or do I need to drag my 72 Super out of the barn and scare yours into behaving...

Great cars. Nice to see there's another fan of the air-cooled bugs.

Here's my '67

Rad. I had a '66 that literally broke in half. Haha. Got it running like a top and BLAM! End of the line. Had to give up all my VW dreams. Just no room to store/rebuild a car. That said, I have an older hippy friend (he's in his 60s) that I have known for years. Anyway, he's got a 65 Single cab sitting in his yard. All there but rough. According to him, if I help get it back on the road its mine. Looking to start messing with it this summer.

Hmmm... there's an air-cooled junkyard up the road from me a few miles. And I know he has a few trucks in there... you should not have posted that...

Hell, if you can find one of those at your local junkyard, buy it and take it home. You will be sitting on a gold mine.

I got my first car when I was 15 and it was a 74 Super Beetle. It's still my only car and my daily driver. It's been so much fun to have and work on. Any work I can do I do myself. I drive a modern car and think oh man this is pretty nice. I get back in my car and remember how much more fun it is than a modern car.

Sorry for not having any updates lately. My boss has been in and out of the hospital and I have been pulling 60 hr weeks for 2 months now. I haven't touched the car lately. I have been trying to get the bike put back together.
