My 1968 Beetle almost complete!!!


Just thought I would share with everyone our progress on my 1968 bug, Daphine. It has been a long journey since March but has been well worth all of the effort and work involved. So sit back and have a gander at my beautiful Daphine being reborn :)

This is the first day we bought her home:
