  1. Hi all I brought my bay last Oct this is my first bay but Ive owned a 1303s bug .

    She needs a lot of work but found a guy local to me that's going the welding and going to be painting her .

    Nobody mentioned it maybe I missed something... this is really a 79 Bay or a 69? (was that a typo?)

    It’s a 79 that’s been converted to look like a 69.
