Beetle budget build (Hopefully)

Glove box lid needed a pull handle so this will do:

I love your idea for the blinker in the overrider, it looks great without taking anything away from the car itself.

Thanks, I really didn't want to drill any holes in the fenders or use later style tail lights or front indicators.

I tinted all the windows at 35%, I just can't for the life of me tint the rear window because of the curve. I think I'll need a professional to do it.

It's coming together nicely.
Looks like a decent donor body, was there much rust to repair?
Not long now and you'll be cruising!
