*NEW PROJECT* The start of my resto cal....
Well, i have been waiting agaes to do this, but i have finally started my 65 beetle resto.
I have had my beetle since 2000, it has a genuine 67k miles on it, and still running the original tyres. It is in amazing condition, everything works
and it runs so smooth.
This pic was taken in 2001 in my front yard with my 62 standard ( now sold  ). The 65 is at the rear.

This shot taken today showing all the original documents, inc service manuals.

Spent the day stripping the bug down. All moulds have been removed and will be taken to get polished this week. I also have a side flash which will be
going on. Original bumpers are in great condition and will also recieve a polish. All bar brackets will get a trip to the powdercoaters this week
also.

The body only has a small amount of rust on the drivers door and rear beaver panel, which i will replace. I will be repainting all the outer panels
the original smoke grey, all done in 2k, i have also gone to the trouble of tinting the paint to exact match the underbonnet and interior. The new
side flash will be done a caramel colour.

I have a large amount of original accessories that will land on this job. Once done it will be basically standard but slammed hard on the ground.The
front beam will be narrowed. I also have the original plates that are in storage and will also be going back on. Inside will remain untouched but with
the addition of an amp and hidden speakers, with music from a hand held mp3 player, just like the concrete truck.

Wow. magnificent shedscapes there. Looking forward to seeing the end results of the resto-cal. You certainly have some rides to be envious of and is
that a Rat Fink cruiser bike I see? I have one tucked away too. Your taste is impeccable!
Great stuff!

Love the front of the EK on the front wall. Have you rigged up some floodlights in the headlights?
BTW, you have wayyyyy too many cool toys.

Thanks to all for the kind words about my cars and my work. I am really into this bug at the moment. Because it is just so original i was always going
to just tidy a couple of blemishes, then club rego it. But been thinking hard about it lately and f#ck that. It will have full rego (whats a sixth
rego).
And shhhhhh, i don't have too many toys. :kiss
