hey everyone,

new here, this is my 1st post. been looking around on the forums for about a week now.

just bought a 1967 vw deluxe 1300 beetle. unfortunately it's about another 7 weeks till i get to pick the old girl up.

with only the pictures i have been sent to go by it seems to be in pretty good shape especially for the price i picked it up for. so i'm extremely happy. ment to be a 3 owner car, so that'll make me the 4th since new. last 2 owner's were female and the last one had it for the past 16 years.

car was caught in a hail storm at one stage in it's live leaving a couple dings in the passanger side fenders and on the front hood luggage area.

i do have some plans in mind for this car, but for starters all that i want to do is get it registered then lower it and just enjoy driving it for while to after i buy a house.

will let the pictures do the talking from here. and might throw up a build thread later on at some stage after i've actually picked the car up. willl put the pics up later tonight.
