57 Beetle Project
JAB-AIR - July 19th, 2015 at 05:42 PM

Hi I thought I would post up my new project I just picked up. The plan is to take the body off and start fixing the rust. It's not too bad for its age. started pulling it down today, it was someones old project that didn't get done so most of it was already pulled apart. I got about 90% of the parts with the sale and the body has been bare metaled, most of it anyway.

Keep photo updates coming :tu:
