This is my favorite vw, seen it personally and looks better up close

Have to agree, a bloody nice clean and very neat Beetle. I recall seeing this at the Last VW Nationals and talking to Mick about it.
I also recall seeing it somewhere else recently ??? Oh yeah, out the front of my place when Mick dropped in to see my project. Mick even let one of his fans (my daughter) sit in the drivers seat 👍
Still looks bloody great and especially since you have had it for 25 years and looked after it so well.
You must be very happy with the car.
Cheers mate, Kev
P.S. your joint in the background looks bloody nice also.

Hey Paul you've been a bit quiet lately, how's Rosie?
Hi Kev, yep i'm pretty happy just need to sort out the front end.
These old bones cannot handle the harsh ride. How is your baby going?
Thanks Jason, maybe when your old and grey like me you too will have something special.

Hi Paul,
You guys are more than welcome anytime. As to my car progress, I have been told the painting will start after the next school holidays. Have been doing little things her and there, and still buying parts.
Look forward to meeting you and Rosie one day 🙂

AUSSIE_MICK ·
Hi type3vw
Easy, wheel spacers available at most auto stores.
DieSchnelleKafer ·
wow this is soo nice i love the interior and the big arse air filters that made you pop the lid up haha how have you mounted the seat belts? is there a thread?
AUSSIE_MICK ·
There is a post somewhere on this site for seat belt mounts, do a search it should come up.
AUSSIE_MICK ·
Hey BeetleJuice
Pics as requested
Craig S ·
This is one seriously sweet car.
What sort of seats are those, and I take it that you had the covers redone?
AUSSIE_MICK ·
The seats are Sheel out of an Escort RS2000 with new leather.

By the way - what is the rod that goes throught the front fire wall above the tunnel??
