Yeah, it's a November '79. It was brought to the UK in '91 with 34k miles on it from sunny California. I bought it last summer with 38k miles! It's all original and very complete. I've done all the work bar the RHD conversion and the "ONE DAY RESPRAY". It's the best thing in the world to me. My sixth Bug, all the others were 70's torsion bar Bugs that got the full lower 8" replacement treatment. I got it right in the end, but never again!!!!
My MAG welder is just for fabricating now, which I prefer.
I'm starting to build a T1 cooled 2.0 T4 with K-jet this week, should be fun. My first T4.
Any chance I'll see your car in the UK when it's done?
My kinda motor for sure
