Hi There. Been an aircooled fan forever and have had the privlege of rebuilding a 72 beetle and baywindow in the past. I recently managed to get my hands on a stunning 65 beetle which I intend restoring to its former glory but need some expert advice.

Le-Roux here, new to the aircooled forum. Already posted once about my plan, but here's a quick recap. I'm planning a road trip on our country's beautiful Garden Route, and decided we'd really like to do it in a 718 RSK Replica. Still need to get one, but things have been a bit busy lately. I'm sure the info I want is probably already here somewhere, just need some time to sit and read a bit :) Oh yes, and a good friend of Cyberbeast already here on the forum.

Hi all.......I'm a girl!!!! Hopefully not the only one around.
I've actually joined on behalf of my son. He has a 1968 beetle. We unfortunately not very mechanically inclined so I will probably be asking for help quite often. He manages to get her going and is overwhelmed with self pride for it to break down again in a few days LOL....the joys of beetles :)
