ok so here it is she`s still got a 1200 motor and box but she looks the part!! ive put a dds shifter in it lowered the hell out of the front end its still got more!.

the reason i decided to do this car is to prove you dont have to spend big money to do the car up im only 17 and this is my first beetle i had a 72 type 3 but i didnt like the shape! heres proof you dont have to spend big $

car-$1900
wheels-$1000
shifter and t-bars-$100

and there it is one cool looking car! now for the motor and box


enjoy!
