Simon's 1915cc Beetle
After about 7 months and many problems my 74 is on the road after its new paint job. It was painted by my uncle who did an excellent job  . Hope these pictures work as this is my first post on
Aussieveedubbers (Thanks Barls and Dave for helping with my log-in problems)
Anyway here are some before and after shots.
Tell me what you think 
Simon

Thanks very much. I'm very happy with it. The interior and motor still needs some work though

Some 40mm IDF Webers or if I can't get my hands on them, some kadrons.
Exhaust should hopefully be a 1.5 inch sidewinder.

Haha Phil, I thought I might have a stalker.
Yeh haven't been at the gym in a while, too busy working  Oh well, it puts engines on the table.
Not sure if it was the engine he had posted earlier. He had it in his own car for 8000km until it shit itself so he rebuilt it with new heads etc.
Would like to hear your thoughts on kadrons. PM me if you don't want to post here.
Colonel they would have to be gold plated at that price

Since George at CVD is selling sidewinders for $600 I decided to give him a call today. Turns out that they don't come in 1.5inch 
Anyone got any suggestions?
