My 74 Bug.

Just thought I'd post some pics of a 74 Bug my daughter gave me.

How I got it from London to Yorkshire.



Engine out ready for exchanging with re-con unit.

Floor pan on drivers side needs a little attention and heater channels are fine as far as I can see, not sure of the horsepower of the new unit but it's a 1600 twin port so should be OK, I'm thinking of adding some twin Weber carbs in the future for a bit more poke but for now I'm concentrating on getting it through the MOT test :)

Just been checking

1200 = 34bhp
1302 = 44bhp
1600 = 50bhp

not sure how accurate this is!

Quote from Wikipedia [Horsepower had been increased to 37 kilowatts (50 hp) the previous year, and for 1967 it was increased even more, to 40 kilowatts (54 hp).]

She looks to be in great shape body wise. Should make a fun little project. I've always wanted to build an old VW something and make some decent HP to have fun with.

Good luck with it and keep us posted on the progress!
