winerot - September 12th, 2006 at 07:12 PM

i have bought 2 73 beetles to make 1 good one for our
daughter amanda but apon an inspection today by a friend
it would need a lot of money for what i want her to have
so why not go all out.

Hey Hello,

Congrats on the cars! I am just finishing off the final touches to my Karman Cab car so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Are you gonna keep the fuel injection in them?

Here is my car........

bugeyedbabe - February 10th, 2007 at 02:58 PM

love the red and white color scene....

great work...just fabulous. ur daughter must be over the moon with the results...


winerot - February 10th, 2007 at 03:08 PM

yes bugeyebabe very happy, mandy is on her learners & this will be her ride for a
few years to come till she saves enough for a (of all things) daulcab, why i dont
know but amanda wants a daulcab (or ghia).
i wont talk her out of it more like support in which ever way we can but at least this
will get a lot of road time on it, just dont believe in having a nice ride just sitting in
the garage thats just not me

bugboymatt - February 10th, 2007 at 03:33 PM

Looking great mate, she must be excited about being able to be out and about in it real soon !!! :) Top work.
