LEAKOIL Forum

My friend Eric bought a '62 Beetle sliding sunroof project car, it needs work but should not be too bad to get it on the road. It has a '70 1600SP mystery motor in it, needs pans and typical stuff but it's not past saving. I'll get some pics up (or get him to join) as soon as I can, but here's what he needs:

Fuel tank (WF, do you still have one?)
1 wheel
Stock muffler (1600)
Heater Boxes
Decklid (it has a '66 decklid on it, he'd like the correct '62)
RR fender
RF fender
Both bumpers

Obviously, he'll be at Jim's Saturday but I thought I'd run this past the group and see if anyone was sitting on any of this stuff first.

It also has a weird problem with the carb linkage- the linkage hits the intake manifold just below the carb and won't open past 20-30%. It has a SP man with a 31PICT (I think). I have a pic but for some reason it won't load right now. Does anyone have a clue why this happens?

Thanks!

Is it red and came out of Westlake?

I sold that tank last month.

I'm picking up some nice heater boxes Sat. that will be for sale.

I have some doodle bug bumpers up in the rafters. Not sure if any are complete, but I'll check.

No body parts in my junk pile for anything that old.

Yes, that's the one. What do you know about it?

Just thinking,but it may be that the manifold is 1500 bus which was a little shorter to accomodate the
govenor that sat between the manifold and carb.

These pix?....

Yep, those are the pics. Did you get them from my Photobucket account? I'm in a hotel and the internet crashed everytime I tried to link them to LO.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
