Was bored so decided to put up some pics of my daily driver.. you know the feeling you get when you are fixing up a VW project and you drive another make of vehicle daily. Not the same as driving a VW considering my other vehicle is a 70K 4WD I quite like driving this to and from work as is but lately I got sick of it looking stock so decided to muck around with it a bit. Got it for a 1000 bucks, had it for about 2 months now and hasn’t given me much trouble it’s a 70 beetle.
Cheers enjoy
this is it in all it's glory baby poo brown. will get a colour change very soon
i'm going to go sort of cal look with this just with out the big engine.
got sick of standard height so fitted an adjustable beam today only went down a couple of inches till i sort out my wheels.
these are the wheels i'm going to run they are Ronals i think they sort of look cool, different and a bit ugly. don't know what colour to go with them keep the cross in the centre polished and other parts black or just polish the whole rim. help me out gyus.
well as you can see i had the day off today so fitted beam and standoffs.
also fitted a decent radio for my listening pleasure.
sony explod head unit big amp, pioneer sub and 6x9 makes the whole bug shakes when listening to the Casualties or the Unseen and the Exploited
cheers

Go the pooy fat chick Ron!!
Lower mate, you know you wanna!! You know it, i know it!!
[ Edited on 17-6-2006 by decked dubby ]

yeah damo thats the idea just gotta sort out the tyre size then will drop it.
wacked1 ·
The one on the right is what the rims used to look like
I wanted the rims painted black but not too sure on what sections to have polished. I don’t want highly polished rims as they would not suit the theme of the car.
What do you think??
Should I just highlight the cross section?
or the cross and other ribs eg the bars between the arms of the cross
Your input is greatly appreciated
Cheers
Ron

thanks guys couldn't do the flames today as i installed central locking in it. JB HIFI sell a 4 door central locking kit for $27 it works a treat.
as for the ronals had to wait for nuts to come in picked them up from CBB on the weekend went to fit them on today and they need about 1mm milled off the shaft, got to go see mike tomorrow
yeah paul should get some dots for the tail lights are they legal in NSW?

till i get my wheels sorted painted my stockers.

Such a great change Ron in a short space of time - that's what it's about. I've seen plenty of cars with blue dots, but not sure of the legality - it's not like they're going to hinder the operation of visibility of your tail lights.
