New coil & carburetor are needed. I guess the one there is the one that came with the vehicle when you bought it from the previous owner.

Denn:


Will revert.

I have an extra coil....The extra came with the car.

In addition, I have thoughts of getting new carb kits to rebuild instead of getting a whole new carb. I don't mind though if the price is right.

Wow

Potty application

Notice the rear tire. It is a 205/75 R 15.

Arches were widened just a little bit during paneling. I hope it fits the front

Also notice the rear bumper hangers have been deleted. There won't be a rear bumper. Anybody who hits me must surely have insurance!!!

Hello

Apologies for the delay. So many events going on at the same time.

Sincere apologies,Please.

This is the current state of the Volkswagen Beetle.

I have recorded a video to show it 'as is' including engine running....a video, they say, is better than 100 pictures.

I have also created a blog to document all my automobile projects (i have a lot on going and in the pipeline)

The blog is https://dennautoworld./
