Hi Everyone!
Roger here. I just acquired my first bug ever. 1978 Super Beetle, Convertible.

It's got some work to do on the outside, as well as the inside, but it is a dream come true to finally own one.

My wife and I with our newest addition to the family!

Welcome! My tip would be to get a good manual. Follow this link to CIP1.com, they have the very best manual on sale through the end of august. Its the official VW Service manual. I have one of these and it's great!

My advice would be to lower it and put some Porsche Fuch wheels on it. Beautiful car
