dumo1: Thanks for the comments. This beetle has been ongoing for some months. What's your suggestion on the coil and carb? |
Re: Restoring A Classic - Volkswagen 1500 Beetle by Nobody: 7:11pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
Denn: 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:congrats, is that ur new truck that am seeing? |
Re: Restoring A Classic - Volkswagen 1500 Beetle by Denn(m): 8:20pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
Bossforeva: That's the farm truck. A single cabin manual drive toyota tacoma. |
Re: Restoring A Classic - Volkswagen 1500 Beetle by Denn(m): 8:24pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
dumo1: 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. |

This picture was taken in 1986, that was my Mum's VW Beetle. Memories of the journeys in this car are priceless. And yes the car survived till 1997. Outlived a toyota tercel and Mitsubishi Tredia. 13 Likes

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!!! 5 Likes 1 Share

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./ Please feel free to visit and offer your comments and advice Many thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y2W7PAaoW0 4 Likes 1 Share |

Denn, now that's a colour that really does your Bug justice! It looks awesome. I think a nice set of wheels and replacement running boards would really set this car off. 3 Likes |
