Our Bug - 70 Beetle
Hi All,
I'm new to veedubs, just bought the attached. Drove it home from Victoria last weekend and now have the interior out to protect the pan, etc.
I'm learning a bit from the forum, thanks.

one very nice Beetle...
What model Bill ? 1970 at a guess..
I love torsion bar beetles... very nice looker... looks like You picked a good one Bill... Now buy 4 litres or some spray cans of Fish oil & spray
pour it everywhere, & You won't get any rust where the fish oil goes... motorpro is a good brand. not too expensive either.. fish oil takes a
while to dry and runs everywhere... unreal stuff...
Best Wishes

Guys,
Thanks for the compliments and offers of assistance, it's really appreciated.
I've just bought some Porsche wheels for it and will fit them on Saturday and take some more pics then.
For Dave - yes that is snow in the background on our drive home from Melbourne.

Very nice Bill
Where in Sydney are you??
As for caps - how far out does the axle bolt and centre cap stick out.
You can always get some custom turned aluminium caps and then put a Porsche or VW / Wolfsburg crest sticker on it.
What wheels are they - 4 bolt Fuchs??
Very nice. Different too!!
Lee - i will ignore your last comment :P
Futue te ipsum!!!

Guys,
Thanks for the nice comments.
I'm in the Camden area of Sydney.
I've now found some centrecaps for the wheels, at the moment they're 3 spoke knock-offs with Wolfsburg decals. Will do until I find
something better.
Bill
