Here's the latest build. Estimated completion date 2011 ish.

Only 3 minutes long.

Part 1

Part 2

Youtube made me change the original sound track on Part 1, so the movie is a little out of sink :x

Enjoy

I can, I won't get any work done on the beetle when I'm working in Sydney and living in Canberra 🙁 Luckily it's only for 12 months 🙂

Yeah, many many years ago. Mine is a full custom resto, not a ratter like his was. But VWFOOL definitely gave me some inspiration to do something similar. Very cool ride from memory.

Pete,

Love ya work and I'm sure you can get a shore leave pass every now and then, lol. You must have been collecting parts for a while now and are finally getting to put her all together. Dont worry about the time frame, I thought mine would be back on the road in 6 months - then plans changed, more modified and here I am over 2 years latter and still not close.

Just had a thought, if you are working in Sydney for 12 months you can always come to my place and keep your hand in, working on my VW 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You might even get a home cooked meal. Not me, the missus 😀

Kev

P.S. I saw your old beetle car for sale recently, did any thoughts cross your mind ❓❓❓❓

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Jobs on Kev, I'm always keen for a free feed 🙂 and yes the though crossed my mind, but she looks pretty rough since I owned it.
