I was nagged into putting a build up on here, so I will put some photos up for now, and talk later!
This is my 1964 that i picked up today, not sure what will happen with it yet, but the interior and motor are completely screwed and it needs a new

Great pics
much appreciated....
although no engine shots....
the front blinkers on the 64 Beetle seem to be located in the narrow 1963 blinker holes which makes them too close to the bonnet..... {I see things
like that.. lol..]
cheers

cam070, what would you like to know about the '76?
I will get some engine shots up soon, although they haven't been modified at all!
Isn't that where the indicators should be on this year model?
We will probably be keeping the paint the same, new interior, mags and a 1600 for the 1965

haha yea mate, they are pretty shit.
We decided to take the old 65 for a spin around the bloke, on the way back the already rattly engine makes a massive clunk and she is dead. Blew a
hole in the side of the case. Off to get another engine today!

Too close to the body
They are either gaurds off an earlier model or it had skinny light originally and been fitted with the later ones.
64 was the change over year but usually the skinny ones were on cars that had the narrow popes nose and the wolfsburg crest on the hood.

I was just wondering what you had done to it and what you were planning to do with it.

So far, this has cost me $1800!
Not much has happened, put on some mags, and a mesh visor.
Also took off the bumpers and will be buying T-bars.
We're also trying to find a 1600!
Sorry about the shitty photos, taken on phone:
