Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Thanx Bugger.
I definately will need all the help I can get. What parts are you ordering?
Do you know anyone that can do a complete strip down, body and chasis and restore it to original condition. Even if they are a little costly I' ll just have to bit the bullet to get it done properly.
I'll post pics as soon as I can get good ones.
Cheers

Bugger,
If that/those painted hubcaps are in good condition, will you swop for stockers?

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi guy's, good to meet the rest of the family, have been an avid beetle fan since childhood, lost touch for a while but have just found a new burst of interest. Her's hoping to find my long lost family of friends again and become the beetle lover I once was.I'm also biker and so from experience I can tell that there's a lot of love and friendship when common interest's are shared, hope to find the same friendship that I enjoy getting from the biking community.
