Hi All,

Yes, another beetle destined for the streets of Adelaide. A 58 beetle that was purchased less most bits so slowly accumulating everything as well as putting the body work right. 2k black to be applied in a couple of weeks.
36hp motor
40hp gearbox
3" narrowed beam dropped spindles and dropped spring plates.
More pics to come as i progress.

Cheers
Paul

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Now on wheels, with motor, trim and fuel tank in the next few weeks it should be at the perfect height!, more to come soon.

Thanks, between this car and the zwitter project i've been flat out.
The 58 is getting a 1600 sinlge port with 40hp box in the next week or so, also i have a new wiring loom to run through it and also a new Mohair roof lining. Im on leave in Sept so want it done before then.
