68AutoBug · 8 Mar 2005, 10:45 pm

Here is the rear view without engine cover....
I haven't any pics with the engine lid on as I
reckon once its on... I'll have a problem and it will have to come off.... so I'm leaving it in the wardrobe, until its ready to be put on.... which should be very shortly... I hope...
I have been tempted to put it on & take a photo.....
but, No its still in the wardrobe....
I don't want to tempt fate....
everything that could go wrong - has so far.......🙂🙂

the bumper brackets are now On... a BIG Job on an Auto Beetle... and NOS 1968 mudflaps...
