ok so here it is she`s still got a 1200 motor and box but she looks the part!! ive put a dds shifter in it lowered the hell out of the front end its still got more!.

the reason i decided to do this car is to prove you dont have to spend big money to do the car up im only 17 and this is my first beetle i had a 72 type 3 but i didnt like the shape! heres proof you dont have to spend big $

car-$1900
wheels-$1000
shifter and t-bars-$100

and there it is one cool looking car! now for the motor and box


enjoy!

I cant put my hand up to owning a set of those rims in any colour but by hell i do like the look of em...

and then motor and box!! mmm 1835 twin webers cb heads all conected to a ranch box cant wait!!!!!

Nice work mate.

nice, don't have white brms but have chromed on the 58 and black for my single cab.. whites are nice. Definately Cal look. It looks like the centre caps are the bus centre caps.. they stick out a fair way.

great work looks sweet

yer the fronts are bus and the rear are beetle as the hub on the front sticks out tim i like the chrome brms but ive only seen another set of whites and they are on a red car in canada yuck!! oh and the back is staying how it is or it wouldnt be a true oldskool cal-looker with the back in the ground !!
