Description
1975 VW Beatle
36k Miles
Good condition
Inherited this car from my grandfather a few years ago. Not exactly sure of the details. The car received a full "back to the bone"restoration in the early 2, 000s with a book of pictures documenting the process. Car appears to have Porsche alloys during the restoration which included the required upgrades to the brakes/ calibers etc.
In general the car look great and appears in good condition. There are a number of rust patches that need attention (I've done my best of picture these. The car was mostly stored indoors but did have a few years exposed which is the reason for the surface rust. On inspection and from a specialist that worked on the car, underneath the car is in very good condition.
Left it to a VW specialist immediately after getting it to get the car running resulting in £2, 000 of work including:
- Brakes (all around) refurbished
- New Calibers
- New master cylinder replaced
- New Battery
- Engine Removed, head and barrels taken off - seals fitted
- New rear crankshaft oil seal fitted
- New push rod tubes and seals fitted
-Tappets set and new recover gaskets fitted
- New Oil pressure switch fitted
- Engine Assembled using new seals
- Exhaust Manifold welded
