My '60 bug
Pat - April 28th, 2003 at 04:54 PM

Just got my hands on a digital camera, so I took a few snaps to show you all.

It's a 1960 model, pretty much stock. I bought it from a forum member about 5 months ago.

Lookin good Pat. :thumb

Yeah, but it looks the same as when I bought it.

I do plan to fix all the little bits and pieces, like the dent in the rear guard, or the wheel trim that came flying off.

The mods I want to do are, lower it a bit at the front, and maybe give it a coat of paint, and a new rooflining.

I did have plans to put a ragtop in it, but I have since come to my senses. The rag is going in my Baja, which is currently getting built, when that's finished I will start on the bug.

By the way does anyone know the name of the colour?, I think it's called Alabaster?

You don't know how long I've been waiting for someone to get the Fast Show quote :D OOh Does she make this sound sir AAH?

Yes that is a headrest, I'm still looking for a matching one.

Skewy, I live in the sticks, but I'm always in the city, or Fitzroy-ish area.

It drives excellently, the best out of the few beetles I've driven, except for the power, cause it's a stock 36hp. Still 6volt, No radio which is a bit of a bummer.
