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 Last edited by Toddly; 01/22/23.

I think they were still making the old air cooled VW's up into the 21st century in south America. "Life is tough, even tougher if your stupid" John Wayne
