Hi Glen, I'm Pedro from El Salvador, welcome to the group. I own a 72
1302s that has been in the family since that year.
Well I don't know in what shape is your car, it has to be in a good one
since you have been driving it. But agood start to retore your car is to
get the right pieces, the originla pieces or at least equal to the original.
A good place to find an awesome stock of pieces is the jc whitney catalog
for VW, I recommend that you should ask a free copy at www.jcwhitney.com,
it's better to have the paper catalog 'cause in a web page you could get
lost or not find the things you want. I have purchased a lot of parts from
them and all of it are of good quality.
Anyway, write to me if you need more help, i'll be glad to help you.
