having read this forum for many a month now thought i would drop in a few pics of my bug Gene and show how the resto is going on i have been at it at the weekends now for about one and a half months its slow going but strangley rewarding and things are begining to come together a bit now :-)

tell us what ya think any sugesstions what i could do will be appriciated am trying to keeping it almost stock looking though and considering a color change in the next few years to a nice purple.

Thanks

i am basicly going to make it a rolling repair/resto job hope to have it through a uk MOT by December. The repair jobs to get it through that are mainly genral beetle rot and simple(ish) things like ball joints/track rod ends.

After that its going to be tarting it up and more less major work, possible 2 new heater channels patched for now but defo need doing next year cash allowing.

Project looks good. Big job. Salty roads and cars just don't mix eh!. Were lucky in Aus with a mild climate and no snow (in the cities anyway) So rust isn't always a major problem. :thumb:thumb
