He recently won a plaque at the Brighton Breeze show. He's a beaut.

He's had a bare metal respray but apart from that he is totally original. No welding underneath and all original body panels, interior etc

Pidge - January 11th, 2005 at 05:47 AM

Plans for the fasty are as follows

Lowered at the front, beauty rings on the wheels, maybe a visor, pressed metal number plates, rain guards and what ever else takes my fancy:D

Just need a pay rise....this may be coming my way soon....yippee:D:D:cool:

Gooday Pidge

Your 69 looks like a 67 change over model that we sometimes see here in Aussie. Nice colour.

Hi there

I can only notice this on beetles by bloody big clues like small rear lights not elephant's:duh
