Hi guy and girls,

I am Dale. I have joined this forum not long after my wife signed up, my wife is under the user name "Sammy"

Just thought I would say hello and introduce myself.

Any how this is my wife's VW Bettle, it is a 1969 model, 1500cc engine. As far as we are aware it is standard apart from the cd player, speakers and steering wheel.

Fantastic machine, we don't really have any history about the car but we are slowly replacing things that are either in correctly installed or are broken.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Snitz. The car was originally orange. From what we know it was repainted the metallic blue you see, and the white was added sometime in between the owner who built it and us.

Any future modifications or changes planned for the beetle?..Mesh visor,Wheels, roof racks etc?..
