Ok so i have finnaly gotten around to putting some photo's on here of my 1960 beetle, very first beetle ever, its my daily driver and it has been bashed a little and fixed again to get her back on the road now is getting nice an revamped so i just thought i would post these for ppl to see.
When i first brought him 4 years ago-- sheez i was only 15.
this one was for the boyfriend at the time.
Came with Hazett tool box in awesome nic (only missing 2 tools) however It went when the boyfriend did...GRRR
Nice neat fuel cap and original key 馃檪
What happens when idiots driving bombed up fords speed through round abouts with no breaks etc... Was one of the scariest things ever... and only 9 days after i got my licence.
Put some new guards on, fixed steering, breaks, front end etc and stuck him back on the road.. good as new :S
Just two pics of my new dog cassie after her first day at home and her first drive in my beetle.
Finally fixing the rust in him... my very first time welding ever YAY
A 5c fitted just perfect under the wheel arch 馃檪
Where he is at the moment. Soon to be painted metalic blue, then its off to get re carpeted and new interior.
And thats her 4 yr history at the moment. Hope you liked 馃檪

Really nice looking beetle.
What sort of headlights are they, is that fog lamps built into them?

Funny to watch the amount of replies come through when there's a pretty blonde involved.

Aw c'mon Mick - we're always this friendly !!!
;-)
Bummer losing the Hazet toolbox like that...
Ellabella 路
haha pretty blonde.. awe schucks, ha. beetle has now nothing inside at all bar 1 seat for me, no windows except front and back... is that illegal in qld?
i must admit i am on a 4x4 forum for my 80 series cruiser n Aussie vee dubbers is certainly more friendly 馃憤
