I love your Bee! Actually, it is junk, please let me know what you paid and I'll tack on a little to help you out of the mess you got yourself into

I did exactly what you are doing with both my Bee and my Swinger. Both cars had been off the road since the mid-'70's. I started with the fuel systems, then the brakes and drivetrains. They have been a real blast to beat around and folks love them as is!
