Gday guys I thought I would post up my first beetle project. It is a 1970 Beetle with a 1600 TP w/ Webber carby and extractors. All work completed by me and my mate Barry Richard (Near Father In Law). Barry did the spray job in my shed and a dam lot of panel beating. He did a magnificant job and it turns heads just with the paint job. This is the first car I have ever done up in my life and I have learnt so much. However it is all rewarding this is my daily car and it has drop spindles frnt w 135r15's and 205r15s rear which is also lowered. It has sony duel face headdeack w 10 inch sub and 6x9's as well as two amps to power them along with a 13plate battery. Custom door trims, full carpet kit, velour interior and front seats out of a holden jackaroo. The Paint Colour is Ford BluePrint. It still has a few things left to complete as I have just recieved some rear pop out windows and front and rear window rubbers. It now has a D Emblem and other assorted bits here and thier. Once it is finally finished I will take a good pic and post it for you to look at. There are many more parts that are on the car which I have left out if you are interested ask and I will reply back with the details. The first picture below is what we started with bieng bad panels, rust rust and more rust and some of the finished project
