rusty motor oil

Post subject: rusty motor oil Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 03:09 PM

Is there anything on a bug that doesnt rust, corrode, fall off or disappear besides motor oil? Has anyone else found patches of pepsi cans glued in with silicone rubber?
Don't get me wrong, I love my new(1962) bug, always wanted one, and yes I enjoy restoring rust buckets. I have built2 best in class cars(50 stude, 60 MGA) but this will be a fun car/rat rod/lovebug. nothing fancy, just fun to drive,.
BTW: can anyone tell me what the engine is ? Serial number 126-062393, it has the square aircleaner with a paper cartridge, maybe around 1973? Possibly 1600 cc? The car is 1962 VIN 4582695.

Have you looked here:
Samba Vin's
