My beetle - long way to go...
Hey all new to this forum.
Been working on this beetle for about a year now.
Many headaches. 1300 had a bottom end bearing spun, took it out, bought a 1600 TP. That had the exact same issue.
Tore it down. Found out it was a 1916. Got an engine kit for a 1916, then found the block was cracked!!
So this is what it looks like atm. Engineless, narrowed and lowered but I haven't dropped it as far as I want yet cos no point until I get the
engine in.
Got an all black interior for it ready to go in, and 8 inch wheels for the rear with deep dish that will also be black. Still a long way to go....
