1963 Ragtop
My 63 ragtop has been a up hill struggle since late 2009.
But after years of graft by my mate Mark.
Got to drive it for first time Thursday night.
Stoked.
Valla here we come. Fingers crossed.
SORRY BOUT THAT!

I'll be looking out for that beauty at Valla.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

lowered the rag a little at the back and bought the front up a touch since Valla,
had nice weather today so got the roof open and popouts and cut some laps
everything has been going good, so fingers crossed it stays that way, got the 58/59 sunvisors both in this week, and have few things on the list to
do.
SORRY BOUT THAT!

I agree with everyone else it looks fantastic! Really liking ragtops lately. Top Job!
It will all be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end!
