I thought I had better post some photos of my 65 TypeOne as it is about to get sprayed up. I've had all structural rust done as well as replacing some of the metal around windows/posts etc. Adjustable front beam, dropped one notch at the rear.. Since it's my only car, I have to put it all back together after each job!
Anyways, the rego plate is original, hence "The Rat" is his name.
Dove Blue is the colour of choice and I'll defo post some follow up photos during and after the spray.. Enjoy the photos!

Hi,
Yeah mate, definately locked that in.. See you at the Stadium!
I got the lettering done from a guy on Ebay.. I'll post up his store when I find it! Pretty reasonable too, any wording [obviously size limits for the curve of the lid/bonnet etc.] for about AU$60/70..

Haha it turns so many heads on the Northern Beaches in Sydney it's unreal.. I wonder if they look at it and think "how did that thing get rego?" but I love it.. It's my first VW and having had it for nearly four years, it won't be my last..
I wish I had all the equipment/time/money to do a full floor pan up resto.. Maybe with my next one 😂

http://www.dogfightclothing.comThats pretty cool man, like ya work!
I wish I knew how to put up pictures of mine, its a 64 rat bug to. Still has a bit to go before rego though.
Defects are not pictures, so why do idiots put them in frames????
thats tops, love that look, did you have the rear wheels widened? looks great😏
Yeah thats old sckool kool.What size are the rear tyres?Thats fat!
Thanks Der Kafer Trieber! I had the wheels professionally done yeah..
I guess it is a fairly Old Skool look, I've always loved that Slammed&Wide look.. It sits so sweet eh..
I have some left over pieces too which I'll post up here soon; engine lid, two wheels & tyres, one piece glass etc..
I think they're 225s on the rear lohoon, I'd have to check. Sweet pair of tyres though, two rain channels etc. If only I had a 70s 2.4 in there from a 911T to do them justice 🤓

Sweet looking bug mate. Love the red wheels. Fats look so good on the back of a bug too. Red fats extra good!
Looks shweet!
Got the link for that guy that does the custom badges yet??
Yeah VWFool, the weather has been against me most weekends since I started the job.. High humidity and the promise of a thunderstorm hampered progress.. Pearl Beach here we come!
Thanks for all the great comments guys, it's good to hear for sure after all the hard work!
Hanging the passenger door today so will post some more photos when I get all the chrome buffed and mounted.. I've got some custom chrome lettering to go on the engine lid too which is really gunna set this ride off 😎

Yeah. The wheels do it. Looking forward to seeing the lettering. What's happening inside?
Nice ride. Love the plate too.
nice bug!
call me blind but i cant see the chrome letttering everyones talking about:duh
Hey Jo_Tas, sorry about that, here si the guys listing on Ebay:
http://cgi1.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MakeTrack&item=4615299933
He makes bespoke stuff too [as I have done] for a little extra.. He's over in the UK so you'll have to deal with postage too [although I don't remember it being all that much]..
XXX-1.8T, it ain't on the lid yet so you're not missing anything! Completion photos at the weekend hopefully..

http://www.dogfightclothing.comstill loving that look, i was wondering how wide your rear wheels are, and what size rubber you've surrounded them with, and profile to, i've been looking @ new wheels but the perfect option might just my stock wheels but widened!
Put him back together and he looks awesome.. I am so stoked with the whole job..

http://www.dogfightclothing.comFor my first resto [albeit a fairly soft one i.e. non-ground up..] I cannot believe the sense of achievement.. I really would like to tackle a split dual cab or kombi.. Maybe later in the year, time to enjoy this one first!!
