You will want to check my Custom Bug out =)

Hey everyone, i thought there should be a topic for modded bugs only. Like bodywork mods and other things like that. Help me make this one big by posting your pics of your rides up here. To start this off: My 72/74 Beetle, as you can tell it has had alot of work done to it. Around where I live (Banora Point, NSW) i se heaps of P platers with their skylines, commodores and WRX's driving around but I never see any VW Beetles. If you see me driving around yell out or something 🙂 If anyone wants to go for a cruise with a few bugs send me an email and we can organise something (black.beetle@hotmail.com). Enjoy and post up your pics 🙂

Haha, it did have a turbo a while ago but there were holes in it= mass overheating... Planning to look into the VWRX side for engine.
As for the gold pinstripe, might look into that and see how it feels.

Thanks again for all your thoughts 😁

I don't like it much either but I can definately appreciate the creativity and workmanship that's gone into it. For that I give much respect.

Well done!

I kinda like it, but then i like chopping up beetles for bajas 😂
Theres something appealing about it yet its not quite right proportionally.
Can some one photoshop it with a few inches off the roof? I think that would do it!

Ok ok, i'm not a yank..... I'm Aussie 😎

Good photoshop, looks great like that but i dont have the time to do any work on it. All of my money is going into my bike at the moment.

Anyway its low enough, just driving around town the exhaust scrapes on EVERY speed hump and driveway, it dosnt sound too good when it does.

As for the "waste of dub" comment, i would challenge that. This is my taste in cars, something that when you drive by people just stop what thy are doing and stare (which is what this car does). In my eyes, I dont think its a waste of dub at all.

There was a white kit like mine that was made but on one of my trips to a car show on the Gold Coast (cant remember the name) i saw the kit in pieces. The owner said his daughter totaled the car.

Thanks again for all the comments, any input is appreciated.
