1971 Volkswagen Beetle standard saloon review from UK and Ireland
"If you don't already own a old bug, you should get one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New petrol tank, due to a bodged old replacment one, thanks to west mid fire service> LOL
New cables on pedal cluster.
New regulator.
General comments?
The work above I have carryed out myself with no mechanical knowledge at all. All easy to fix and parts easy to find and relatively cheap.
More than just a car, too many it becomes a way of life.
