we bought this car for parts but once we got it home we decided to restore it .
It had a lot of rust but we persisted and it has taken 12 months to get to were it is today

Excellent, do you have any photos of the interior? I am considering getting red carpet and was wondering what the rest of the interior looked like

THAT IS AN AWESOME COLOUR SCHEME!!!
What type/ brand of paint are you using?
the side panel colour looks cream in the photos and its the colour I'm tring to find for my bug... did you paint this yourself or send to a spayer?
You've done an excellent job on it mate, congrats 🙂
Anything else in the pipes for it?

Looks great mate!! Just a quick question about the 2 pics of rust you have there, how did you go about fixing those two sections? I have the same rust spots and am not real sure how to tackle it. Not quite to the extent that you have but pretty close. I tell you what if my beetle looks half as good as yours I will be pumped.
Cheers in advance for any help

as for the rust I cut out the rusted areas and made plates to the same size and welded into place that way there is little bog required . I also sprayed lanolin every where on the inside to try and help prevent any further rust .

Awesome, so I am doing the right thing! Looks like your skills are a heap better than mine, but I will get better as I do more. Cheers again
