Not that I don't have my hands full enough trying to finish my other 63 project (see posts in this section), I also have this 68 beetle project (which I have used the original pan for my 63).
I was fortunate to obtain the body already massaged and painted from a good mate so I cannot take the credit thus far. One piece windows have been installed, tinted windows and a nice black vinyl headliner.
The colour is a BMW dark blue (unsure of exact name). I will be using a 66 pan from a UK bug (body had to be scrapped due to rust) that had spent time in NZ before making its way here to Oz. I will be doing a body off resto and will be selling this one (have to make way for the split double door panel which is next). I won't be going all out like the 63 but still show worthy (but not to the point where whoever buys it will be scared to drive it!).
Here are some pics. Progress will be slow until I finish the other bug!
