once bitten you ve got the bug® follow our tech tip below and you can find your problem most likely the dual relay in 2 minutes and keep your car out of the dealer s clutches here s how b eetle® restoration has become somewhat of a national craze when we first started into business we did so because we were accused of being the cheapest people around and drove beetles® because of reverse-snobbery we all knew that we were better than the rest of the world because we could drive around in a little beetle® with no heat which had all kinds of strange habits bus® `72-76 bosch reman #sn3274 149.95 recycled #sn3349 .70.00 bus® `76-79 2000cc #sn3350 .194.93 .85.00 recycled bosch/lucas remanufactured #sn3275 .239.93 209.95 bus® alternators we will furiously defend the beetle® from attack from all outsiders but after a few beers when you analytically think about the beetle® like all good engineers do you realize that the car was very spartan and lacked certain amenities which are considered necessities today can you imagine a beetle® with six-way bose sound heated six-way power seats power antenna power door locks or a computerized information system to tell you whether your ashtray is open or closed nah we didn t want all this stuff we would have settled for heat just plain heat or not even real heat just something above freezing well we re a little older now supposed to be wiser thirty pounds heavier with a wife two kids and a mortgage and we re looking for lost youth ah that s it that s the cause of the beetle® craze finding our lost youth there is absolutely no valid reason to restore a beetle® there are better things to do with your time and better investments restoring a beetle® is great therapy dryer than fly fishing and without the baggage of group therapy the beetle® may not be at the present time an investment grade antique although certain early beetles® and convertibles are it is certainly a special interest car whose price will only appreciate recycled jack has turned down an offer of $14,000 for his wife s `79 convertible and we have heard of an early ghia® convertible offered for $16,000 but alas you can still purchase a beetle® in need of repair for $500 what beetle® should you restore the most logical answer is to restore the beetle® you have or closest to the one you had as a first car the beetle® you have is at least a devil you know and anything can be fixed you probably have some books on the car already but if you don t the first book to buy is the complete idiot manual this will give you the basics of the car the second is for our restoration manual and the third and fourth are the high-performance books read these for a few days and then take a basketful of money and come see us we ll suggest a course of action recycled jack idot manual #sn1074 .26.95 restoration manual #sn4319 .37.95 generators alternators air cooled beetles® and ghias® use generators up until 1973-1/2 the `73-1/2 to `74
