Here is my baby. Almost stock '69...well 1776 motor and some interior upgrades, blah, blah...

Inside looks sweet - wheres ID (Idaho?) we our geography consists of knowing where the nearest beach is?

Welcome


ugabuga - November 2nd, 2005 at 03:22 PM

Yeah, Idaho. That would be Oregon coast for you...

Funny that I left Riverside, California (Newport beach)before getting seriously into VW's. What I'd give to have access to all the shops I used to live a couple of miles away from.

There are a few very nice bugs here...and an active Van club, but for the most part--sad to say--it is a pretty tired fleet...

I actually have the rear seats upholstered and bagged in the attic, but I like the "paneled" setup for throwing stuff in the back.... I dont carry too many passangers...

hey nice bug, very clean!!! Just a question about your front speakers. you obviously had to cut or drill holes to keep them there right on spacers or similar? i own a cabrio and want to mount the speakers where yours are, but not cut or drill in the body at all? do i just glue the mounts and will that hold?? any help would be great.
