| Info: | Herman is a 67 beetle I purchased about 4 years ago. Plans were to restore him someday. This last winter (06-07) I really wanted to have a beetle to drive so after doing some searching and coming up with nothing worthwhile I decided to use Herman. I replace his rocker panels and pass side floor and putting all new brakes. Attention was played to rust proofing Herman and not worrying about looks. A good heater system was also devised. Who says a bug heater doesn’t work if setup correct? The one weekend in Feb when we hit 14 below my truck wouldn’t start, but Herman did. He had no problem heating up his interior. If you would like to know what I did to make his heater work better drop me an email and I will let you know. His engine seem to run good so I major tune up was all I did. This spring (09) marks 3 winters for Herman. Last year he got a little better paint job and new seat covers and door panels. For a 40 year old car Herman has done very well. |
