Pretty cool find Davii! Did you get a good deal?
Give us a full report once you give her your thing.
It’s a Volkswagen, right?
A friend of mine in high school had one. I think she might still have it actually.
I got a damn good deal IMO. I paid 4k. Very solid car, everything there, only surface rust. It looks like I need to do a lot of cleaning, completely redo the brakes, all new ignition system, and rebuild the carb. I should have it roadworthy for under a grand.
Did some clean up, put a new gas tank in, cleaned the lines, and put an all new electronic ignition setup in The Thing today. Got it fired up, just idled it for a few seconds from putting gas straight in the carb. Still waiting on a few parts to finish up the fuel system.
I have all new brakes on order to include a disc brake setup for the front. Once the brakes and fuel system are finished it should be roadworthy and ready to surprise the wife!
She doesn’t know you bought it?
