Our 72 Bug


Here are a few pics of the 72 Standard Beetle we picked-up on Oct 22,2008.
Towed it home with a VW tow bar with no problem.
The Previous owned had broken his only key in the ignition switch and instead of fixing it he wired up a puch button switch hanging under the dash.
I took the ignition switch apart and laso removed one of the door handles to check the key codes on them and they matched. I then took the to a local locksmith and he made me 2 keys.
I can now lock the doors, but found out after I put the wiring back to the ignition switch  that it is bad. So I need to order one.
Saturday I will pull the drums to checkout the brakes and I will aslo check the valves & set the timing.
