My '65 Beetle
driftdaddy - July 2nd, 2011 at 08:18 PM

Hey Guys,

I thought I few throw up a snap of my new ride - a 1965 Beetle.

I lowered the rear today - one inner and one outer spline, very happy with the results. Have got an adjustable beam to install tomorrow, so will post more pics when the front is done as well.

Enjoy!

Awesome looking bug look forward to seeing more pics after you lower the front

As promised, here's a few more photos now that the front has been lowered as well. I hoping to get some drop spindles next week and get the front a little lower.......

I also finished my sub box........it's an MDF box built inside an old suitcase which fits behind the back seats.

Cheers guys, I was aiming for the "brooding" sky look.....I used a graduating filter to acheive it.

Nice work mate!

I was only telling Polly the other day about this style of Sub install - very, very clever. Love it
