Recon of 1600 beetle motor

Post by Smitwi »

Hi all, my mother gave me her 1974 beetle, the one i grew up in. I need to get the motor redone, or to get a new subassembly , but dont want to spend a fortune. Does any one know who does this.

Thx

Hi, We live in a big place. Are you from the North, East, South or West.

The easiest way to tell us is to introduce yourself in the correct thread and then we can assist you.

PS. Enjoy your stay here.

Sorry about that. I'm in Kempton Park. How do I go about introducing myself?

Your in Kempton, then the best place is to visit Bugger in Germiston.

I'm sure he will be able to get you going with the essentials before forking out money for a complete overhaul.
