Hey Hey all!
Bought this beauty about a year ago for $700, as it didnt come with an engine or gearbox.
After tonnes of procrastination and a hell of allota work she is just about roadworthy for just over $4000!
Its a 1974 L-series Beetle geared with a 1600 twin port engine which has been well looked after...
Ive pimped it with some 'checkerboard' vinyl for the flooring with a matching pillow....
And whats a VW without fluffy dice...
For my first car... I'm Lovin' it lol =)
looks good man!
you should post some more pics...
p.s when are you going to slam it??? 
Looks good
what other plans do you have for your Beetle?
Great looking first car mate. Well done!
well done...
how about a pic of the engine...?
if the bumpers are rusted...
rub the rust off with wet & dry paper then paint it with
a pressure pack etch coat or primer then paint them a satin black... not too glossy - not to flat..
if done properly they will not rust again...
do behind the bumpers too with etch primer..
cheers

Yeah i have two new bumpers, i just need to get the old rusted ones off
I dont have too many further plans apart from trying to get it on the road =)
thats the main thing to be able to drive it.... lol
if the bumpers are brazillian made
buy some good car wax and wax them every week or so to stop them going rusty...
I use Meguairs canubra wax on one of mine...
I've had it for a few years without going rusty...
but as soon as I stop waxing it won't last long...
cheers

Nice one Burgo - welcome!
I like the floor dude. Whats the plans for the stereo?
love a good L
Nice car
Register it and drive it 
Oh shes on the road alright, glad to say i got it regoed a couple months ago...
I was only just recently on my Learners so the most driving i could do with it was down the driveway do a u-turn and back up again (without the old
man supervising 
)
And dave: i have two pioneer speakers in the backseat passenger panels and am going to buy a sub to add some doof doof to her.
nice. from what i have seen in bugs it is best to avoid putting it behind the seat, facing into the seat because you lose sound quality. My one sounds pretty good atm. Just depends how you want to build your box i guess
