Well heres my project Its a 1962 baja beetle. I just picked it up on monday. Its gonna need brakes on all four corners, fuel tank leaks,  Its having some carb problems right now. Push rod tubes leak and neet to be replaced.  It was originally a 6volt system but at some point was converted to 12v. They left a big mess for me.
