My first Beetle

Here she is, pale faded blue, stock as a rock, I am the second owner since new. It was given to me by an old fella I used to take care of. I don't know a lot about Bugs, previous cars have been an XW GT and a Galant Turbo. My other car I am driving til I fix the brakelight glitch is a Falcon ED XR6, so yeah! Having fun and learnt a bit so far!

Nice to have a car with a history. The ol fellow would like to know it was being looked after. Have a look around here, you might end up with the "bug". If you do, you could possibly end up lowering it a bit, maybe a set of wheels. Wouldn't need to do anything to the paint or panel. Could be very cool. You're old mate would be proud.
Welcome

ps. bugselecta will sort you out!

Thanks guys, as stock as possible is gonna be the go. The pictures actually do the paint a lot of justice, I reckon it looks worse face to face. I wanna keep sock rims, but yes a lowering job will be in order soonish.
