Hi everyone, I bought this 1962 beetle from a garage sale in my home town of Natimuk on sunday. My plans are to get the beetle on the road and then get back on to my bay window camper.

Here is a few more pics.
Gave it a wash.
I put a running board, a spat and my wheel trims on for some mock pics.

Guards are off and windows are out.
Gave my rear bumper a clean and painted the inner silver and the brakets black.

Looking good so far. I'm contemplating spats for mine, but I'm not sure.
Custom doesn't come in a Box
I want your shed!!😂
awesome job you are doing mate 👍👍
what are the plans for it?
i want spats too! where are yours from man?
Awesome find, looks excellent, wish i never saw the price though 😠 haha
DieSchnelleKafer, My dad and I installed 2 and 1/2 inch drop spindles today to get it sitting how I want it.
If it looks like this at the end of my resto I will be happy, but with the wheel trims shown in the photo above
AndrewB, I borrowed the spats from my uncle to see what it would look like.
Cheers Rusty.

This is what I have been doing over the school holidays, as well as a trip to Bendigo Volksclub's Easter Extravaganza. Pulled the front beam out of the beetle. Prep'd and painted, here are a few pics....
Cheers Rusty.

Awesome find!!! thats so cool 🙂 get into it! looks like fun. Want your shed

Nice find, I paid $300 for my first beetle.
Bit of an update... have been sanding doors and bonnet and have given the floor pan a clean. Left hand side door has had repairs previously but isn't in bad condition.
Right hand side door is quite good and doesn't have any evidence of repairs. The bonnet has previously had one repair but overall is quite good. Floor pan is nearly clean and coming up well.
Hopefully shouldn't be long and I should be getting some body panels in primer.
left hand door..
Right hand door mostly sanded back..
and now..

floor pan before..
and now..
