My ride so far · Aussieveedubbers

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 2:41 am

This is it for now just gotta put mirrors and foxcrafts on.

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 2:43 am

I wanted to keep it simple not resto custom just old schoolin.

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 2:47 am

I love chunky overriders so I decided to do something a little different.It makes mt ride look evil.

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 2:51 am

I chose a solid visor because they give it a chopped look.Im trying to make it look like a mini lowrider sled but aircooled and vw of course.

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 2:53 am

This is what i see when im cruisin in it.And as you all know how much fun that is.

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 2:57 am

I was going to put sprints on her but im loving vw steels og and stock with wide whites and beauty rings but Im stuck on caps or no caps what you guys recon.

NO CAPS

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 3:00 am

or caps Ive got stock or big emblem caps(but a little scared to run em in case they roll off.

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 3:02 am

Another change was the type 3 rear axles and gear box this enabled me to slam it even lower with crazy negative camber.{sorry]

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 3:05 am

So Ive started doing some more to it i will post some more shots up soon when ive added my mirrors and steeringwheel [anyone wanna swap an o.g empi gtv for a banjo]

[Edited on 9-7-2004 by kustomkool]

kustomkool · 10 Jul 2004, 3:08 am

And maybe a little pin stripping and a new colour.ie: also ive got oval gaurds and us spec bullet indicator for it and a narrowed beam.peace

pete wood · 12 Jul 2004, 1:02 pm

Phatbug.
seems to me the reason that matt black bug was so low was all the freakin chrome and big dumb accessories weighing it down. LOL 😀 (just kidding)

Love the look Kustomkool. Now make it abit more hotrod. You need some red bits or something. Is it registered?

VWFREAK · 12 Jul 2004, 5:08 pm

Now thats a sweet ride, she's exactly along the same lines as my new toy.

Gotta luv the old school look.

kustomkool · 2 Aug 2004, 5:54 pm

I know a little messy but I havent used a brush for ages.Heres the next layer a few layers to go .

kustomkool · 2 Aug 2004, 5:55 pm

kustomkool · 2 Aug 2004, 5:57 pm

Ive always wanted to do a shit load on the front of the hood that sort of comes up from the front bumper.

kustomkool · 2 Aug 2004, 5:59 pm

BLUE_62 · 10 Jun 2005, 5:38 pm

Flat coloured paints do have advantages hey,
appart from not requiring many hours of polishing. 😉

kustomkool · 12 Jun 2005, 1:23 pm

Shes finished just getting a new 30 pict sorted out.Putting a stereo in at the moment .I will get some nice pics and post em up for you asap.The notch is getting the full treatment at the moment.We just bought a futura on 20 inch rims for a family car so the notch can become a show car.As for not polishing "I BLOODY WISH"Im always polishing the chrome and other bits i wash it every few days out of pure love.

jenz58 · 12 Jun 2005, 10:18 pm
