that and the rag top are nice. Guess the original superbug is good too. Get rid of the rest and do something nice with the 54 before you kill it! Poor thing sitting outside in the rain. Maybe keep one race car too! 5 VW's is enough isn't it!

Craig - do you need to take beta blockers to drive this car - or does driving the car have the same effect as beta blockers?
Smile - It confuses people😀

the mesh visor looks like its off something wider than a bug.

Craig, sorry but you have to get ride of those wheel spats (obviously my thoughts only). Other than that, I love it 👍

Kev
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Yeah i must admit the spats don't really do it for me either.......maybe if they were painted the same colour as the car ?

Hi

Nice car, I think you drove it to my place once. Your car has a name??? Do you have any imaginary friends as well.

New King and link pins with a lowered front beam.

New Wheel Bearings
Whitewalls
tyres with 85% tread
36hp motor that purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs like a kitten, with ALL the proper tinware in excellent condition.
New 36hp muffler
