Title: Fuel tanks
Post by: Nikov on January 27, 2014, 11:32:44 am
My '54 Bug's tank is a little fragile these days and it leaks, not to mention it's rusty inside.

So I want to replace it for the time being with a tank from a 61-67, which are readily available. My question is will the later tank fit the early body?
