Adolf the 68 Auto-Stick!

killakornkobb · 2004-08-01T05:46:45+00:00

well.. its about time i put my little beetle up in the members rides section. so here we go!! this is my very first Vee-Dub who i love dearly, and has been named "Adolf" by my girlfriend..:jesus i bought him about 14 months ago, and he was the very first beetle i went to have a look at (actually the only one) what i found was a pretty rust free, original beetle. i dont really have any before/after pics, because he really hasnt changed much, only very subtle things so far.. but the interior looks a MILLION times better than when i got him, due to new carpet, and re-covering/padding the seats and what-not. the plans for the near future, are, a wood-slat roof rack, lowering both front and back by about 1.5"-2" THICK whitewalls (2") rear venitian a D plate, and fender Stone guards, plus pretty-much any other cool looking oldskool/chrome acessories i can afford 🙂 and a bit later on down the track some BRM's Let the Photo's begin!

yeah, love it low🙂 i had lowered it before DoVW.. but been too lazy to upload piccies :S

working too hard..

gave it a total cut and polish today at trade school, came up pretty good.. the paint on it is so bad 🙁 we buzzed one of the guards down with 1500 on the machine, and cut over it.. so its the only smooth part of the car.. the rest is full of crap🙁

but it's all shiney, and looks good from a distance 🙂

next improvement will be some new running boards, then BRM's and red bands instead of white walls, then a decklid rack.. and i have a D plate on the way from the U.S
