I got a 1303 beetle as my first car. Awesome little car for tweaking here and there. I just love this car but sadly i have to do it on a student's budget so i cant do it all at once. Had this beetle for about 4 months now. Its a modified soft top so i dont intend on keeping the car very original.

Started out as this when i first bought it.

After i did a bit of touch up work.

I've been working on the engine since then but been having a hard time looking for performance parts that i can afford and fit into this car. Hope you enjoyed the photos. Pls give me some advice on what i could do. Thanks

Camo Custom Title Time!

Hi Lewi,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your first car. I see you have already made some changes and improved its image 👍

Where are you in NSW as this may help others offer some advice.

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

Blimey, if he managed to get four and a half grand for that he did the right thing to sell it!

Why start a Members Ride Thread when you're flogging the thing off? Freakin' weird dude, and a waste of people's interest. 🤪

Lewi, are you going to be a car-dealer, when you grow up?

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Well, he's got the quick sale cheap tart up, looks good from 50 feet skill nailed so he's 2/3rds the way there.
