Hi Folks! Ed Newbegin, new member. Just bought my '66 Bug off the street a couple of days ago. She runs well, has a slight oil leak. Color is pearl and has the white seals around the windows. Previous owner put in a 1600 engine and I'm slowly getting to know it.
I've already seen some great info in the Tech forum that will help me get her running and looking even better. Current issues include no signal or brake lights, a half-dollar sized hole under the battery compartment and two bald tires, along with the oil thing.
Also noticed a kind of weird undercoating, almost like roofer's tar on the floor pan. Feels like hard plastic. I'll post pics as soon as I get the time to do a thorough job. Look forward to lots of great advice here!
A Real Newbie
