here are some pictures of my 1960 beetle that i restored about 5 years ago. it has a factory metal sunroof and i repainted the outside in the original factory mango green colour. the interior paintwork is all original.

stripping off parts

jaksc · 20 Apr 2005, 11:56 am

paint has now been stripped back. Cant decide what colour to paint it. Considering either red & white or mango green and off white to match the beetle. Any ideas?

Lams · 20 Apr 2005, 12:05 pm

wow the split looks great! love the ride height too

i think red/white looks good - good to see you got the pics working (great pics)!!

Nice bus mate, i really like it. The red and white colour looked good, but the nice 50's/60's pastel colours look very nice as well. Either way it will be good to see another splitty bus on the road.

Nice one! The split looks pretty straight

You sure that beetle is a '60?

Great to have one of each. Is that a factory roof in the beetle?
And, is your bus ex Ashman? It looks pretty healthy.
Nice.

jaksc · 23 Apr 2005, 6:54 pm

Che Castro · 25 Apr 2005, 1:17 pm
