Here looking for clues on how to make my bug even cooler.

I think I got a steal, $2k about a year ago, replaced the floorpans but the heater channels seem solid. Real eye turner

Oh, and I'm in Perth, wouldn't mind getting involved in a VW car club here so....

Welcome Markos, looks a neat car as it is, this is the forum for good veedub advice

The volkswagen club of w.a. is worth joining too

Cheers, looks like I better get down to Alfred's next month and check out what's going on

Looks great mate! Do whatever you want to the car, it's yours and that's whats great about the VW scene - make it how you want to make it!
