New to the buggy world

Postby testers » 11 Tue Mar, 2014 3:46 pm

Hey everyone, I just received my first buggy for a crisp $3000 from my grandad at the ripe age of 20, its a 1965 VW Beetle engine and runs like a champ. Only problem is a leak on the right rear transaxle, I think it needs a new seal. Also needs a new paintjob and some bondo, but I am considering a new body all together (suggestions?). Let me know what yall think!
