Hey everyone,
Just joined today.
I recently aquired a mixed breed 66 bug from my dad, which i originally bought for him in 1996, (ill explain)
Its a 66 body, used to be a hard top, but the previous owner chopped it to make it a convertable.
It has a 1600 CC engine AE block, 1971 i believe, which i just had rebuilt more or less.
and i just replace the front beam with a 71, thanks to a knowledgeable friend who helped.
On top of it all its got a baja fibreglass kit.
Its on jack stands with the wheels off as i am doing a partial restore to get it on the road for this summer. After all is said and done i will have to put a CIP1 endorsement sticker on it for the sheer volume of parts i have purchased from them. lol
I will be posting some pics shortly and hope to learn a few tricks of the trade that all the books i purchased didnt teach me.
By the way this is my first bug and before 6 months ago i knew nothing of them so if i reply with, "HUH, what does that mean", please bear with me as i am trying to figure this simple little monster out.
Thanx
Deaner
