Here's a shot of the interior. We have had the seat springs in the drivers seat fixed since this shot. It was way too bouncey after lowing. It is still quiet bouncey over pot holes, but much better.

schweet !!!

...the "bouncy" wasn't that quiet!! I mean quite!

:blush

Thanks for the comments - we are very happy with how it is turning out.

Looks nice,a very clean example of a 68.

Looks very sweet on the road 68 to 70 s are cool and often over looked for early beetles but give me 12 volts and ball joints and disc brakes any day.

jh68 - awesome ride. Perfect combination - alloys, stance & colour!! IMHO

jh68 ·

Thanks '60 - It drove past me in the car park at Bunnings with a for sale sign on it nearly two years ago and I knew I had to have it and I knew what had to be done to it.

I'm very happy with how its turning out.

Couldn't agree more!!! If I ever was to get a beetle it would be 68 to 70 model.

agree with above

After Supers these are my favourites 😂

Adam - I caught you (in the blue single cab) out of the corner of my eye

Nicki and I are stoked with the work you guys have done.

Cheers

Well done on a simple but effective build. Exactly the way I like them done or not overdone if you know what I mean.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh.
