My old piccies
ancientbugger - November 26th, 2004 at 11:01 PM

I just thought these may be of some interest to some of you out there in VW land, they're about 22 years old and I've a lot more where these came from! The first one was my beetle in its last guise, everything was steel and even lead filled (just for the novelty of it at the time), no door handles,all chrome removed, Triumph Stag front seats, drinks cabinet inside, no rear seat just all deep buttoned dralon interior and a wicked motor

Next is at a show where this one had a sloped roof where a wedge is cut from the rear pillar then more from the next etc then realigned as opposed to a proper roof chop

What my beetle looked like when I first got it, I could kick myself. A Championship beetle in all its glory

I have no idea what types of buggies these next 2 are but I reckon the white one is the bollocks


ancientbugger - November 26th, 2004 at 11:21 PM

the white bug is sweet barry did u really own that?


ancientbugger - November 29th, 2004 at 08:25 AM

Correction that bug WAS real sweet, that was in it's last state, shame I didn't get any shots of the back as the whole back inc. rear of the wings and engine lid came of as one unit, mind you it didn't die in vain as the engine ,gearbox, electrics, seats all went into a Karmann Ghia!
