Bodyman already has the fenders, hood, and engine cover. New master cylinder, wheel cylinders, e-brake cables and brakes are now working. I can't wait to get it back all painted and shiny!

    I have a 1974 super beetle Sun Bug that I bought new. However, I put it in torage in year 1990. It has been sitting in the garage since then. It has a second engine with 100,000 on it. Car has close to 280,000 but still is in tack cept for damage done by cats peeing on it. I need a mentor to advise me in restoring this jewel. YOur help will be valuable I can mail pictures of the car if you like.
