picked up a one owner '74 standard Beetle 1600 DP
been in storage since about '94 took some work, but with a complete tuneup and a little head scratching got it back up and running... today I got the old school Gurneys mounted and installed the new muffler...then a complete hand buffing and partial wax...ran out of energy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) next will be a redo of the interior, then front disc brake conversion I owned a brand new '71 Super Beetle in the exact same Marina Blue color back in the day! Having fun with this one....parts are available everywhere...and in comparison to 914s pretty cheap. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Since a bug is small and I am not, I sit with the seat all the way back. The stock shifter was a bit of a reach....so I purchased an EMPI repop of the old Hurst bug shifter. I had this same shifter in my '67 and my '71 super years ago. I got the 15" version so it now sits a bit higher and back towards the driver, plus I now have a reverse lockout...
This Bug stuff is dirt cheap compared to a lot of the 914 stuff, and just about every part is NOS or reproduced...at multiple vendors, so it is plentiful and inexpensive for most stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |
