1966 Deluxe
hus22l - November 6th, 2013 at 02:03 PM

So, I started off wanting to learn about mechanical stuff (paper pusher by day). I bought a dirt bike, crashed and broke my shoulder... so a friend suggested something with four wheels. We found a well loved beetle from a lovely old Italian couple in Fairfield, cut a deal and I drove it home.

Well, after nearly four years I can say I am 95% finished, and comfortable putting up a photo (if it works).

Full (pan on) restoration. I have learnt a lot and look forward to meeting some of you guys at the local meets.

Hus.

Sweet! Looks mad

I love Java Green as you dont see many on the road that colour but Horizon Blue looks great too.

Do you live near Fairfield?

hus22l - November 8th, 2013 at 03:54 PM

Yeah not far from Fairfield.

It was a tough decision with the colour, I nearly went dove blue.

Come down to Harry's Cafe at Liverpool the first Friday evening in December, 7pm. We have a gathering growing bigger all the time.

How are ya mate, the car looks awesome and a great choice in colour.

I remember the car around Fairfield after seeing the Java green picture.
