Hi All
New to this world - my other cars have all been somewhat on the other end of the spectrum technology and speed wise LOL. I found a '73 Beetle 1600 Twin Port recently whilst looking for something completely different and decided to pull the trigger. I was pointed in the direction of the forum. Looking forward to learning a lot.

Welcome Clivevan! If you have basic mechanical aptitude, can read and have a desire to learn, you can do most jobs on your bus. The air cooleds are not that complicated cars to work on. There's also a lot of knowledge here if you get stuck. There's also YouTube, the samba, etc. But if you're stuck on outsourcing your work, hopefully somebody here can set you up with a good mechanic.

It would appear that some volks in CT have an issue with Grand Slam, but I have always found him nice helpful and cost effective.
