You will want to check my Custom Bug out =)
REAP - February 23rd, 2009 at 11:34 PM

Hey everyone, i thought there should be a topic for modded bugs only. Like bodywork mods and other things like that. Help me make this one big by posting your pics of your rides up here.

To start this off:

My 72/74 Beetle, as you can tell it has had alot of work done to it. Around where I live (Banora Point, NSW) i se heaps of P platers with their skylines, commodores and WRX's driving around but I never see any VW Beetles. If you see me driving around yell out or something :)
If anyone wants to go for a cruise with a few bugs send me an email and we can organise something (black.beetle@hotmail.com).

grumble - February 24th, 2009 at 10:42 AM

I thought the cat was nice too,as cats go,but I had to go back for a second look to find the chicken.i hope you enjoy the bug.


trickysimon - February 24th, 2009 at 11:36 AM

That's a sweet interior :tu:


sinecure - February 24th, 2009 at 12:07 PM

Love it when someone does something this different. I like it and can certainly appreciate the amount of quality work that has gone into the build. Drop the front and inch though :) :tu:

Well done!


REAP - February 24th, 2009 at 02:28 PM

Now you tell me there is a horse, is there a bird in the trees


vw54 - February 24th, 2009 at 07:09 PM

I see the horse :spin:


Joel - February 24th, 2009 at 09:16 PM

well be proud that you own what is probably one of the last remaining slant nose 930 look bugs around
theyre a love it or hate it 80s things as u can see by the replies

i figured u were in the tweed area somewhere as ive seen it around
bet u got solid arm muscles having a sports steering wheel with rims that wide, been there done that :lol:

love the steel sunroof :tu:


Wannavee - February 24th, 2009 at 10:03 PM

Dananananananana BATMAAAAAN!:)


Dilbert - February 24th, 2009 at 10:20 PM

i saw the picture and thought nice cat. it kind of scares me that so many others did similar. i think the car is certainly different. i do like it for what it is and i would be happy to own it. i wouldn't create it either though. I think the waste of a dub comment was uncalled for.

It has alot of nice qualities that people don't seem to have mentioned. The finish on it looks beautiful and the interior is pretty tidy.


donn - February 25th, 2009 at 06:02 AM

Love the interior, obviously a heap of dedication gone into the finish. Found the cat, found the horse, found the chook and after a while and going a bit outside the square (hate that term) found the bird.:crazy:


squizy - February 25th, 2009 at 10:46 AM

This kit came in white with Martini stripes didn't it? I like the JPS idea though too.

beetleboyjeff - February 26th, 2009 at 11:57 AM

A mate of mine had a bug with a similar kit on it in the early 80s. He sold it when he got married, then for years both him and his wife wished they hadn't sold it. Then it came up for sale again in 'Unique Cars', somewhat run down though (and a lot cheaper than they had sold it for), so they bought it back, stripped it down, and re-built it again. He eventually sold it when his marriage broke up. It certainly attracted attention though.


grogy - February 27th, 2009 at 05:45 PM

if batman drove a beetle that would be it


Type3Sicko - February 28th, 2009 at 07:53 AM

I think it's cool, 'cept for the taillights, individuality at it's creative 80's best, good on ya mate..does need gold pinstiping though. :)


kroozzn63 - February 28th, 2009 at 08:30 AM

again not my cup of coffee but very well looked after and great for an 80,s movie prop in that condition, well done


Dak-A-Tak - February 28th, 2009 at 08:46 PM
