Bought this little bug from mick motors and it was white full or rust and just sad looking. 2 years of restoring him and he's almost finished 🙂 His name is Kermit 🙂

Looks excellent

a good year for torsion bar beetles too..

just need a front disc brake upgrade ..

although No beetles were ever sold in the USA with disc brakes.. even in 1976 etc..

only Karmann made cars had discs..

cheers

Excellent! I look forward to seeing Kermit parked up with the rest of us then 🙂

It's MUCH lighter than Scirocco green. Can't wait to see the finished product!

No no not auction... ACTION Day. No one's car is going under the hammer :p

It's at Wynnum, and it's in September. Keep an eye on the coming events section for more info when the VWDCQ post a thread about it! It's basically a great big show and shine and swap meet!
