Thats a sweet little ride. I remember seeing this one at the Chapel st cruise.

Sweet!

Thanks mate, your ride was the nicest there! My girlfriend wants me to get a KG now!!!!

Very Sweet

Anything we should know about on the inside or under neath

thats a tight ride i love the wheels!
got a list of mods for us?
i ave an lbug too its going through a gradual customisation. i can only hope itll be as beautiful as that

P.S. love the photoshop work, real artistic work!

Well it's got wheels, which need some new tires so I can slam it, at the moment they would rub if lowered. It's also got extractors and a single quiet pack Empi exhaust. Carb is a single 44IDF on a pretty well stock 1600TP. Engine goes ok but saving the pennies for something that really rocks.

I just put in a stereo, two 7x10s, two 10" subs and two 6" which I am going to mount in the doors with nice new custom door cards. Powered by a 625W Coustic AMP and head unit with MP3. Soon (hopefully) whack in my car computer for stacks of music!

The interior is all black carpet with a custom centre console (not quite finished cos I'm slack). I need a new headliner though.

What does the future hold? Big engine. Slammed. New front Guards. Anything else people reckon I should do?

dont forget the fluffy dice and noddin dog. but seriously it looks good mate

Haha, dice goes without saying

I have a nice pair of yellow fluffy dice in Vern
Sets everything off nicely !

mine will be oing back in the bug when its rebuilt they survived the crash while the taz on the dash didnt

Dice are very resilient
Mine have survived the kids
Not sure whats worse

im thinking my crash but not by much. but im afraid the noddin dog has left the building. please if any one see him on the f3 can they please pick him up as he has been missing for far too long. last seen with my bolle sunnies and one 6x9 speaker

I can see a pattern in that
Crash much worse than my kids cause they know better than to touch anything in Vern

yeah but what am i to do. sorry for hi jacking your post edgeworks

Ahhhhh....... L's

the nicest of beetles!

What else.... not much
I would slan the front and IF anything a set of 16's.......17's if you are feeling expensive

Edgeworks

Car Trims ( Brent ) in Camberwell do headliners fitted for $600.00

Thanks for the info Beerdoc. I plan to do the new one in the next couple of months. No way I'm fitting it myself, from what I've heard it's a horrible job if you havn't done it before.

Ho

Go the struts, Im doing an L Bug as well. Ive been told that the later mudguards with the triangle shaped bumper bracket holes are slightly wider.

Steve

Steve,

In regards to guards, the triangle ones aren't really wider, they are higher though and stick out more at the back. I don't think they look as nice as regular Superbug ones. The reason I knwo is that I have a Super guard on one side and an L guard on the other, hence the reason I need a new one.

I'm finding it damn hard to source a left front Super guard, been looking for months!

Gaurds

Well there you go I love this site for info having had Kombis 20 years ago and doing L bugs for Daughters now

Lowered Struts?

Who does them Properley as in lowered shocks and smaller Diameter springs

Not just shortened springs I dont like that idea

Beerdoc,

Go here http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/ if you want to know about supers. There is loads of good info.

Some really nice struts are made by V-Force: Struts link here . A lesser option is some lowered strut cups. It's a pretty cheap option with ok results.

I'm sure Steve and Blue74L know a crapload more than me.

Hi

Im using struts made by Vintage in Sydney, V Force do basically the same thing. They are the best thing you can do to an L or S bug apart from Nolathane bushes.

Steve

Beerdoc

I was (and will again) using V Force struts.
You have a choice of insers but the most econiomcal is Sachs Golf inserts and King springs

You can but different stiffness spring / insert for different handling

Have a read of Richard Holzl's stories in VMA and his site is http://www.beetleracing.com 

u2u me if you want more information

Had a look and man the are the goods

Thanx blue74l

Put these on last weekend. Thanks to Empi (Adam) for the kit.

interesting, looks really different, like to see it in the flesh to get the full effect.

BTW, what is the bolt pattern on the slotted rotor you posted before? Looks different to the wheels you have on it, which BTW, look really nice too.

The slotted rotor is one of Blue74L's, not sure what stud pattern, you'd have to ask him. I wish I had them though.

The reason I put the kit on was to make it a bit more unique. There are at least fout tiger mica (metallic orangey) bugs around Melb so I was feeling a little common. Next on the list of things to do is lowering.

Cool. C stripe is a nice touch
