Finished my \'54 Beetle *now sold*

Menangler · 2005-06-12T07:55:29+00:00

This has been a big project, on and off over the last 18 months, I bought is as an unfinished project, in a million bits, everything was apart, and I mean everything. It was all painted and just needed putting togeather, sounds easy right!!!. I wanted it to look like a stocker with a few upgrades to make it drive nice. It is a 1954 shell on a '69 IRS pan, 365 Porsche chrome wheels, wide 5 Type 3 rear drums and a Sol-Cal wide 5 disc brake kit up front. Paint is 2 pac pearl white, pan and suspension is all 2 pac black. Interior was made by Rod Penrose, made to look like stock with a few small changes, He did a fantastic job too. Engine is a rebuilt 1600 with twin Kadrons and a tuck away muffler, gearbox is an "L" bug. Goes in for rego on Friday, then it will be 4 sale.
