Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.

Yes I did this some time ago! I also made custom flanges in the tinware so it can't get loose or leak at all. I may post some pics if you're interested.
As far as other stuff goes not much has happened. Too much rust to bother about improvements at the moment.
Eden, shoot me a U2U when you plan to get tyres for the slam job.
i can hook you up with some new conti's cheap. Any sizes including smarts.
Click the Beetle
Slammed?? What are you talking about it's already 4" lower than normal:P
Only 4 inches.:thumb

Thanks but no thanks on even lower. I like my car to ride and handle well. In my opinion supers just look bad if they are scraping the ground.
Well it's been a while. Here is the latest shots of my car. Just put on hoodjax that Laura (PBB) got me for my birthday. Also had accident damage fixed as some guy drove into it.
Man - your L is looking sweet these days :thumb

Wow! Not normally a fan of the later beasts, but this has certainly got the juices flowing.
Everything just looks so right!
Awesome, just awesome!

that looks great ,what colour is that
BETTER TO BE THOUGHT A FOOL THAN TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT:puke
Thanks for the comments guys. The colour is based off the Holden Tiger Mica but it has a different base coat and I think some yellow pearl mixed in. It was apparently very hard to match.
Wow, that looks fantastic mate, can you add me to msn
wot_do_u_think@hotmail.com . I have a few questions to ask you about your twin carbs & wheels. Thanks
Timmy
Sure thing mate. I've added you to my MSN contacts so ask away if you see me online.
Looking very nice! I love looking at L bug projects 😀 Gives me inspiration 😂
1974 L-bug... 'Basil'
VW's were made to be driven, not hidden.
Just thought I should update this thread.
Eden is doing great, but his little LBug isn't doing too well and is at mechanic's and then panel/paint shop as we speak.
Just up the road from our house when it was raining and had greasy roads, Eden lost the back end in the wet, flicking it out. He overcorrected and flicked the back the other way into a 4WD's front bumper bar. Thus the rear right wheel guard is almost inverted, the right rear wheel has some wicked camber that it shouldn't... and I can't remember what CV bit was stuffed up as well but it was. The 4WD owner was pretty pissed as he's had his car for a week. :P
So poor little Evil-but-still-too-cute LBug is on the road to recovery. Lucky for Shannon's comprehensive insurance... although it wasn't far from being written off.
Anyone have a Beetle C-Stripe kit they'd like to part with?
Ouch - best wishes for the recovery
Bloody hell!
Hope things get better
How are the wheels???

PM sent Laura
SORRY BOUT THAT!
Hey there. Thought I'd chime in here. Just heard from the panel shop car is now all good. Thanks to Empikg it has a replacment C-stripe kit, they sure are getting hard to come by. Hopefully the wheel is ok, it had some scuffing on the rubber but no dings out of the rim so fingers crossed it's not buckled.
Unfortunately no pics of the crushed bits.
The Evil L Bug is back looking handsome as ever!
Looks wicked having Eden's and my Bugs in a double carport again. 😀
