It's a 1964 Beetle. mechanical: - 1500 single port, stock. - front lowered w/ drop spindles, 3.5" narrowed beam, - rear lowered 2/2 splines at the rear, notched spring plates exterior: - painted satin black, with custom mix red sides with fire red metal flake over the top. satin white scallops. - britax ragtop - whitewalls w/ hankooks on standard rims interior: - jvc hu with a pair of phoenix gold 4", a kicker amp and 10" sub - ratty original interior. - fuzzy dice! lots of other little details, but that's the basics. ----------------- old post: Hey i'm Dan. Just realised i didn't have a thread in here 😉 Mine is a 64 Beetle. Pretty much stock apart from a 1500, and whitewalls. Oh, and the ragtop that's in it now. edit - and the new paint! it's a Britax one from the 70's apparently. I would've loved a weld-in one, but that's more effort and $$ that i cbf with - let alone tackle myself. And this is just a bolt in - nice and easy...well, 6 hrs easy. cutting a hole is hard. and pics of it installed. and a few pics i took today. and yes, i know - it needs to be slammed, let alone painted! not a bad weekends' work - especially whenh it's coming up to summer [ Edited on 12-11-2006 by rupewrecht ] [ Edited on 14-11-2006 by rupewrecht ] [ Edited on 8-2-2007 by rupewrecht ] [ Edited on 8-2-2007 by rupewrecht ]

You're not Milhouse! Though you are geeky and a social outcast :p

And it was filthy in those pics - the wheels are nowhere near as bright as they should be!

new toy:

Superior 500 13 1/2 inch wood wheel. needs a bit of a cleanup, but the price made it worthwhile. all the way from the US.

otherwise not much else has changed, apart from a thin coat of oil from JNR356's car from the chicken chokers cruise :P
