Just bought this for my son, needs some work but is solid.
Nice one, that was fast, where did you find this?
Found it on ebay, rang them, arranged a viewing, did a deal. Job done!
Had running, then fitted electronic ignition - somethings not right as it won't start now! Nearly ready for MOT.
With regards the electric ignition, some of them allow the red and black wires to be connected the wrong way around and still be ok, but Mick fitted one to his bus a while back and we found out it had blown due to conecting the red to negative and black to positive by mistake.
Took beetle over to Bogg Brothers during the week for David to work his magic and breath life into the engine. Hopefully pick it up this week.
Beetle sorted full MOT and Tax (free) and now back home.
Just need to swap the generator for my alternator.
Also need to fit the new door cards and carpet set i bought at Dubfreeze.
And my son has decided he doesn't want a Beetle, so am thinking of selling it.
