Picked up this 57 speedster replica that was built in 2002. I’ve never worked on old VWs but I have no choice because no one near me does either. New brakes, brake fluid, tires (original). New plugs, new much louder horns, doing front shocks now. It’s keeping me busy this winter and making me wish for warmer days. It sits on a 68 bug chasis and is probably more fun to drive than any car I have had. Photos to follow

It looks like an interesting toy. The old air cooled VW's are pretty simple machines. I think they were still making the old air cooled VW's up into the 21st century in south America.
