I have been wanting to fix up a VW for a while. I was given a 69 beetle and a 71 squareback. The 69 is a complete car, and the motor will turn over when I hook up a battery, but it needs a lot of work. Any suggestions on where and how to start would be great. The 71 is 97 percent complete...I still haven't gotten it to the house yet. The guy I work for told me about Eric and Eric told me about ya'll. This are my first VW's and my first restorations. I'm a virgin...twice??? I also have a 65 mustang in need of restoring, I'm willing to use in trade for fixing up the bug if I can't get it sold.
