Wolf

Jay_1965vw - September 1st, 2002 at 04:44 PM

This is my 65 beetle Wolf. Photo was taken on my first cruise (which was to Arthur's Seat). Sooooooooo... 3 years ago maybe? And... its when he was shiny LOL.

Since then the paint has become increasingly more decrepit, and he is now under restoration at Vollkommen Art in Clayton (going back to where he was born, to be reborn).

I've had him since September 97, before that he was my grandpas for 15 years.

In the 5 years I have owned him I have been gradually making improvements. I now have a 1600 dual port engine, recon 1200 gearbox, overhauled brakes, converted to 12 volt with alternator and 009 dizzy. Oh.. plus the American spec headlights (bit of a running joke...).

This is what the paint looked like before he went in for the resto...

Will the rust never end?

Have the guys put down a plan to get it finished yet?

Jay was up at 4 am to get Wolf to the DO and they did make it :bounce

Have a couple of pics to post later (still in the camera) Pretty sure I took an interior shot.

Congrats on Wolf's rebirth and getting runner up :birthday (no champagne bottle to pop)

Grey 57 - November 26th, 2002 at 04:25 PM

Jay, sorry about the poor quality of the pics. The settings in the camera had been changed and all the pics I took came out with a bluey tinge.

KruizinKombi - November 26th, 2002 at 05:10 PM

I have to admit to being totally envious. Congratulations Jay, Wolf looked fantastic. :thumb

SWEET!!!!
Than is a beautiful bug you've got there Jay. I know I'm into heavily modified bugs but a fully restored original still arouses the senses. A car definately worth smiling about.

vanderaj - November 27th, 2002 at 10:01 AM

Jay, I'll bring a CD of all the 1600x1200 originals when we do something about Mr Fasty.

The entire DOVW image collection (117 from me):

I tried fixing up the blue images:

Plenty of pics of people getting prizes as well.

Good to see it finally got back on the road jay.

Since it's white, it's now a wolf in sheeps clothing

Jay_1965vw - November 28th, 2002 at 06:26 PM

hehehe Thanks Wes - I am thinking of him more as a White Wolf... maybe if he had a turbo he could be a Wolf in sheeps clothing? (not something I am ever thinking of doing btw LOL

Jay

With big silly grin

Cam - November 29th, 2002 at 11:04 AM

YES!!!!! Jay, you hit the nail right on the head, trubo, turbo, TURBO hehe

oh and lowering

You have a magic, enviable ride now.

I doubt the Dog will look as good as your wolf but I love my dog as much as you love yours, cept it's just not as shiny!

I'm glad it's all come together (literally) for you, and in time as well. Can't wait to have an in person perv. The paint,chrome and carpet work looks brilliant. Great Job.

I betcha your Grandfathers proud.

I would be.
