[img]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b366/cheres some more pics of my latest lil toy.. been giving it abit of time and its coming up nicely..
we took it for a fotoshoot last week came out pretty nice for a amatuer shoot
And a video!
This is mine, my old man got it from a auction about a year ago, came from victoria originaly and was pritty much the same as seen here, went over the pits first time 🙂 and runs great, its my first car and now im inlove with the vw. the work log is little, took all the interior and cleaned up the floor pan with a bit of kill rust and have just painted the rims, come summer its gettin rubbed down with a new coat of white, a tune up and if possible a new gear box but i aint much of a mechanic 🙁 but on the order list atm is a new horn ring, running boards, exhaust tips, sterio, mirror and antena. enjoy.
btw the pic's are huge so if u have a slow net connection, gl hf 😀

heres my beetle...saving up for new spray, wheels, 88mm big bore, exhuast and new interior work...oh & some new shocks lol
and some more
hey Timmy good to see u could join us
i was meaning to tell u about avd but looks like u found it
welcome to the nuthouse
-Joel
lol yea i found it all alright...I have changed my mind about what i told you about a while ago, gona go 4 a rebuild, have done some more calling around for quotes & it all looks sweet to start soon...1st things 1st...oil change tommorow:P:P then new shocks, and some carburetor work...so yay!! lol
god damn...what a costly weekend for my beetle 🙁 have most likely blown the main seal, main bearing sounds like its gone & have lost 2 cylinders all on the way back from dubs....have to inspect everything when we pull the engine out...YAY my first engine rebuild...lol but such a bad reason for needing it...
Jeezus christ! :duh how the hell didja manage all that?!?!
If ya lost compression in 2 cylinders on the same side could be pulled studs due to overheating (presuming you dont have casesavers installed)... if they just arent firing prolly a dick coil. WHere is the oil leaking from?
If ya pulled the studs then there is always a slight possibility of a cracked case I guess.
Just seems unusual that everything should go tits-up all at once. :duh
Hope yea get it sorted anywho..
Cheers!

[img]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b366/cwell we were running abit late may i say...lol & we hammered pretty hard to get up there @ the time we did, then on the way back we just started losing oil...so a nice dubber stopped & lent us some oil...but the worst thing we could have probable tone was to get back on the road...I think that we might have only been running on three cylinders as one of our leads was a bit corroded (we thought we fixed it but obviouisly didnt) but when we got back on the road you could just feel the cylinder drop. Still not sure of the damage. Dont really have that much time to look @ the car at the moment as I am in Year 12 & trying to pass everything whilst make some money to spend on the beetle LOL. But we will get there.
Cheers

Nice ride Sam... are you going to keep with the flared rear guards, or put her back to standard?
Ash x
1963 Single Cab Ute: "El Concreto"
1962 Baja Beetle: "Peanut"
1968 Porsche 912 SWB: "Pip"
1972 Kombi Snail: "The Snail"
2012 Skoda Octavia Scout: "Scout"
2016 Scirocco R: "Rocco"
I personally prefer the standard look, but don't think I could go back.
Could I?
My thinking is the original owners, or whoever did the original work to it wanted it to look more like a 911.
Hence the flared guards, Porsche mags and 911 wing mirrors
gerard now has some flattened ruby red sides,time to 1200 him allover then fit the fender beading(red) then get some front seats and give his wheels some nice glossy red centres

Hey Hey all!
Bought this beauty about a year ago for $700, as it didnt come with an engine or gearbox.
After tonnes of procrastination and a hell of allota work she is just about roadworthy for just over $4000!
Its a 1974 L-series Beetle geared with a 1600 twin port engine which has been well looked after...
Ive pimped it with some 'checkerboard' vinyl for the flooring with a matching pillow....
And whats a VW without fluffy dice...
For my first car... I'm Lovin' it lol =)
Hey guys, thought i should join everyone here so im a bit new to this site. Just turned 17 in December and would have my P's now but lost my licence for speeding 🙁.
This is my 72/74 Beetle, it is custom made of parts from both years and has some Mercedes parts (mainly power windows). Brand new stock 1600cc engine from Mexico, near new midnight black paint (poor job from the sprayer), Simmons mags (think i measured the width to be 13"), pretty awesome looking bodykit=== Real headturner =)
BTW: Manual, the shifter just makes it look Auto.
What do you guys think?
This is my 1971 sedan ex autosick.
It was a 1500 now a 1600 manual.
