well.. its about time i put my little beetle up in the members rides section. so here we go!!
this is my very first Vee-Dub who i love dearly, and has been named "Adolf" by my girlfriend..:jesus
i bought him about 14 months ago, and he was the very first beetle i went to have a look at (actually the only one) what i found was a pretty rust free, original beetle.
i dont really have any before/after pics, because he really hasnt changed much, only very subtle things so far.. but the interior looks a MILLION times better than when i got him, due to new carpet, and re-covering/padding the seats and what-not.
the plans for the near future, are, a wood-slat roof rack, lowering both front and back by about 1.5"-2" THICK whitewalls (2")
rear venitian
a D plate, and fender Stone guards, plus pretty-much any other cool looking oldskool/chrome acessories i can afford 🙂
and a bit later on down the track some BRM's
Let the Photo's begin!

Damien, sweet beetle

I think I've seen you driving around? Not often you see a beetle in Savanah Beige like DR L my Type 3....
Should look hot a little lowered:thumb
Good looking car Mate. I had one exactly like it few years ago. It was a '69. Unfortunately, a stupid Harley rider hit me from the side while I was turning in a side street. Quarter panel was gone but there was also damage to the roof because of his high handle bars. Which made it too expensive to repair. The car was written off. It went great. I bought it for only $450 because it had problems with gears. Turned up to be only the vacuum box next to the gearbox. $140 later it was on the road. Served me very well for three years.

you probably have jen🙂 i'll have to keep an eye out for you and Bel!!!:P
hey busser.. i ebnded up doing the front seats myself.. i warmed them up a bit w/ a hair dryer.. (no clothes dryer at my place, and too cold for the sun) and stretched them on.. few tears down the bottom 😠 but i'll live.. when i twarms up i'll stretch them properly, and attach them properly.. atm the backrests are kinda just sitting there.. i havnt cut the holes for the side levers either:| just using the bottom lever for the time being.
