Well i have decided to paint the (Home made) spit beetle satin black with red sides,i have painted the engine grey and the wheels grey,im on the look out for a beetle rack and and any other accessorys to suit it,any accessorys you have that might suit it let me know cheers shane.
Nice work !
shiny rat thats new but it's yours go for it
what kind of extra stuff are you looking for
Well i guess its not a rat,but i dont know what else to call it due to the fact its going to be flat colours not shiney, this body was going to be thrown out to the tip so i grabbed it and started playing with it,now i just whant to get it going???greedy the extra stuff im looking for is things like beetle roof rack,old NRMA badge or scratch plates for the door handles(Ice Pick Style) scratch plate for the bonnet handle,any old vw related stickers or badges ,15 inch white wall inserts,anything that suits the period i guess to make it look old cheers shane.
Nice.............dont forget to increase your main jet size if you are running that exhaust.
Looking good Shane, will she be ready by the next blast from the past ?
Mate trying to get my brother inlaw to pull hes finger out and paint it,but hes started painting hes VN SS Commodore so the beetle hes come to a halt.
the bugger a comerdoor dunny door
Hi Shane,
Take it as a blessing he can practice on the Commodore.
I suggest you fill in the tailpipe cut outs, makes a big difference to the look of the car.
Cheers,
David
Hi david i know what you mean,but its taking this long to get it to this stage so i just want to get it painted,im now looking at painting it yellow with white sides,and i may have got a britax lined up for it fingers crossed,and the rack fits perfect cheers shane.
David forgot to mention did you notice the semaphores,these were the ones you gave me cheers shane.
Boy I have looked after you.
Fill in the Cutouts, you will regret it and wont go back and do it later.
Look up a colour called Violettrott, it was on BMW 316's I painted my Old Karmann Ghia in it and it is really classy especially with Chrome.
Cheers,
David
