Newbie / VW Restoration

**darwin25** · July 18th, 2003 12:19 PM

Hi guys!!. Im new to this forum. I saw the link to this site in a forum where I am a regular.http://www.glocktalk.com/ . Its a forum for pinoy handgun enthusiasts. Anyway, I dont own any modern cars but Im in a middle of a restoration project for my 1968 1200cc VW Beetle. Nalagyan ko na ng airconditioning, maayos na yun body, okay na din yung setup and electricals. All in all umabot na sa P150T yun gastos. Can anyone give me tips and advice for restoration and kung pwede sana, referrals na din sa mga stores and shops na nagse-service ng VWs. Gusto ko din kasi i-try yun ibang mekaniko e.

TIA

Thanks for the welcome guys. Actually 1 1/2 years na yun resto project ko. Bought my beetle for P12T pesos and talagang napakasama ng itsura ng makuha ko. Though ang pinagpipilian ko noon is a 1965 Mustang Hardtop or yun Beetle. Medyo mahirap at mahalpiyesa ng Mustang kaya Beetle ang pinili ko. Ngayon di na nakakahiyang iparada yun beetle ko katabi ng mga modern cars sa mga parking lots. Hindi pa masayadong maganda. Madami pang cosmetics na kailangan idagdag pero madami ng nagkakagusto. I'll try to post some pics as soon as mailabas ko uli this week sa talyer. I'm also willing to share some inputs sa mga gustong magrestore ng beetle.
