=D>
So after selling my 1967 Beetle a few years back I always regretted it... It was so much fun, it was simple, it had the same motor as my bus, etc...
But it was lowered so it drove like shit, it needed a brake job, and I convinced my self to sell it.
Well yesterday my girlfriend Melannie and I drove down to Salem and picked up Maggie, our 1963 Beetle. It looks to have been changed over to a "Cal" look with the 1-piece windows and stupid side mirror, and the wheels. But I'll slowly be changing her back. I might have a line on some bumpers and doors with vent wings!
Best part is she runs and drives awesome, and stops real good!
I need to replace the windshield and rubber too. No leaks, just cracked real bad. Where can I find replacement glass here in the Portland area?
