It's been finished for a little while now but I hadn't got around to taking any pics until today.

She's a fair bit lower than before and now runs a set of original Lemmerz/EMPI Sprintstars which I had powder coated and then added the black details (that took a full two days of masking!!).

The front end is now narrowed 2" with 135 Michelins on the front and 165s on the back.

It is still running 6 volts and 36hp. Next will be some period tuning.....

Oh and yes it is missing one tailpipe! I went for a run the other day and somehow came back without it!!
So if anyone has a NOS german tailpipe laying around.........

Mate that looks bloody great - the wheel combo is perfect!

Sorry if you've gone through it elsewhere, but can you give us some details on the other bug ('63?)?

Hey bud. It's a 65. Have a lookie in the for sale section......

:thumb:thumb Hey 62del, this is a VERY FINE look'n blue boy. Its an inspiration and something l'm aiming for for my 63ButterBug - FERN. Nice drive :thumb:thumb

looking great jeremy for some reason my computer wont let me bring up most of the pics. Love the stance and the wheels. still very inkeeping with the originality of the whole car. :thumb

That's HOT. Perfect colour and wheel choice.... Blood red and grey interior looks so smoooooth...

That's big window porn right there.

Jeremy you've nailed it right there. 59's the year and that is poetry. Everything's right.

That is amazing - I caught myself studying these pics for along time...!

Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!!

A very cool car! Looks even better in the flesh! Err steel!!

loooking good my man

Thanks folks. I've had the look I wanted in my head for a long time, just took a while to get there!
Not finished yet......

Beautiful ride man that looks sensational!!!
Have you got the venetians upside down and the inside facing out or is it just the pic, as it doesn't look right?
Cheers

I've been asked about that venetian before. Trust me it's up the right way. It's an original old one that was given to me.
It's got different shaped slats to all the others I've seen..

WOW! That is a real credit to you-W

awesome, nothing more to say, agree with everyone else!

That is awesome.Like what was done with the inside door pull handles-on the trims.Are you going to put whitewalls onto the road wheels?

Got to love a '59. Nice job....love it.

Amazing reconstruction of looks.
Nice styling!!
Pity it never caught the judges eye at the Bug in mate
Thought it was a shoe in myself, but praise from people that
know and appreciate quaility VW's is worth more i believe

LOL yeah.. the judging at the Bug in was... interesting!

seriously... NICE!

Nice one Jeremy.. I've wanted a big window semaphore Beetle for years now and thats a great example of why..

If you ever think of selling, you know where I am!

Love it love it love it.

Took a little time over it at the Bug in but ad the kids with me and didn't get time for a second closer look.

It is beautiful - great pics.
