New Guy : TheRookie

Post by TheRookie »

Hi Guys

Im new here and very much interested to learn new stuff air cooles offers today .

I owned a beetle 20 years ago and now my boys want one .
I scratched out a few parts that i kept over the years .

I had a 1967 Bug and it was built
1776 motor
Engle 110 cam
36 Del Ortos
009 Dizzy
1:25 Solid Rockers
Lower Front beam with Golf Disc and rear flat face drums

All i have left of the car now is the
Flat face rear drums
And the front disc brake kit

Im keen to discover what has improved over the years .

Im currently looking for a car and not fussy over what model it can be .
