Nice car Michelle
Hi,
Michelle, take our advise on the timing belt deal. These cars have a few issues that most cars do NOT. They are made of mostly plastic, plastic over time get brittle. So when you do any repair take your time and dont muscle any part it WILL break on you. The timing belt will break at some point if not watched carefully. That will ruin your head becuase the pistons will come up with such force that it will bend the valves. Then you have a cool beetle that needs $ 3,000.00 plus labor to have the head redone and out back on. SO have that checked soon.. Also you do know that the font light has a bulb and the whole headlight unit does not have to be replaced unless it is broken.. They are not a couple hundred dollars either. You can find them on ebay for $90.00. They are relative easy to install.. But again they are plastic and so are the tabs that love to break... I speak from experience on that one.
Now that i have gave you some advise, Your car is awsome.. I love the silver color.. You have joined a great family here at the Nb.org check out the post on return to roswell NM you may want to go on the trip. Lots of beetles and lots of fun... Thanks for all the pictures..
peace NB lover
