Beryl the Outlaw bug
Hi all, After being seriously ripped off with my last beetle i thought id start over.
I found this one owner beetle on the trading post web site. She's had a few bumps in her life was stolen in 1987 then recovered, I have the newspaper
story from that. the Little old lady kept a note pad for fuel repairs etc which was given to me too.
Genuine 40000 mile car.
I fitted the 2" narrowed adjustable beam and adjustable spring plates from my rat shit box also the 12 volt system. Ordered a 12v wiper armature from
Vintage Veedub plus a new ignition switch. Scott, Lee Noonan's son showed me how he modified his head lights to fit the indicators in them so i did
that mod yesterday and then welded up the indicator holes in the fenders looks so much better me thinks...finally got to fit my new wheels i got from
my lovely lady for xmas. Car is a pleasure to drive the gear box is smooth little underpowered (for now) 1200cc run like a dream. My future plans are
a full airkewld air ride kit body off restoration in original paint and replace the tan interior with a red TMI kit. then to drive and enjoy! Oh and
some more ponies 
Cheers
Jodie
Original purchase invoice dated 13/8/1964.

damn nice car. though i do think the air-ride and resto would ruin it.
looks nice with the rims and (though it goes against my no body mods on og cars thinking) the smoothed blinkers.
i must admit, i'm jelous. i'd love a 40k car with full history.

Hi chaps a little update on my 64. fitted new front guards i bought off ebay. swapped bonnet as the original had been clouted in the front and was
curled leaving big gaps on the sides of bonnet. fitted an Empi shifter to only replace that with a Vintage Speed one last weekend(plus heater and dash
knobs). I also made some LED side marker indicators clear and barely noticeable when off but glow orange when flashing. Also bought a JBE roller
throttle tube from Airkewld and some stickers and finally fitted some 2.5" dropped spindles.
heres some pics
Cheers
Jodie

Hi chaps got a really cool birthday present the other day
And just ordered this Speedhut GPS speedometer with tacho. I used the options on the web site to choose this spec.
And this adapter from Das Resto to fit my fancy speedo in.
Cheers

because the Speed hut gauge has no oil or battery light i've found these little suckers to put just below the fuel gauge. there quite small only
require a 6mm hole. red for battery and the amber for the oil.

Here's a picture of what my girl go me for Xmas. Wish I had it for the trip lol
And a picture of my new Speed hut GPS speedo/tachometer fitted it late this arvo will connect up tomorrow. I had to modify the Das resto parts adapter
slightly to Get it to fit guess it was made for a Kombi...no biggy.
