Cheers? but whats meant by fat chick?? is it a certin style of bug or somethin?
Fat Chick is what people call post-1967 VeeDubs.
Just a bit of VeeDub slang.
*bump* ok guys i need help here! iv been wondering for a bloody long time and justcant decide!!
i need to choose weather to lower it, or sway bar, or exhuats n stuff? whats the best value for money mod i can do with looks/handeling/power...
its killing me!!! i wana lower with rims, i want a rear sway and i want better carbie + manifold n stuff! i dunno where to start :S
work with brakes and suspension first
no point making it faster if it cant hold the road or stop
mmmm good point..... but any ideas on what to do?
its a 1969 1500, doesnt have all the fancy super beetle struts that my sisters has 🙁 so i dont really kno what to look for or even do!!! sigh .... im so noob at old cars! but i

hi there
good beetles - i own the "fat chick" round the corner from your place
If you are stuck for ideas come round and have a chat or come round to V Force at Mortlake and see what is on offer to get your beetle handling
PS
What happened to the "BUS" ??
I also own the white T3 with the Fuchs copies on them

Futue te ipsum!!!
Nice ride a bit new for my liking but a good looker for sure👍👍👍
If you drive an aircooled Volkswagen be proud of it and leave the aircooled engine in it!!!
'58 Bug 36hp, 70k original miles + as straight as a die!
good start is do all the bushings, some good quality shocks and maybe a front swaybar
running on stock width tyres is abit limiting to but u gotta draw a line somewher or it just never ends
but yea listen to Barry, go talk to Richard he'll sort u out

🙁

Leave your car alone. If nothings been done to it, leave it!
Buy you sisters car and do it up, but leave yours alone!!!!!😵 (not that i can talk)

1959 Beetle (Eeyore)
1979 Kombi (Oscar)
i was actualy thinking the opposite to you!
i was going to mod my car and leave my sisters alone! keep her '71 super semi-auto as a run around as its a 1 millinth anniversary eddition, and then i do up my '69 😀
and yes i kno where stephen lives! hes a mate of my brothers!!
AND ZOMFG!!! i see ur beetle so much! every time i go down hampten rd i always look out for it!
u'll find its 15millionth and it will be '72
that is if the 15millionth glovebox lid really belongs to that car
1 millionth was an oval in 55 😂
Nice, great to see it's a family affair.
