In thesamba forums they got this whole thing that a bug has to be Cal-Look, an if its not then its a waste of a bug. Then they say that every bug from
Florida is all fiberglass an has some kind of stupid thing done to them. Me, I believe if its your car, you can do what you want to it,I dont want to
coppy everyone else, thats why my bugs painted like it is, to be different. :thumb

thanks, but how can you tell if there a 1302 model. I thought 1302's were Super Beetles, but if they made standard bug 1302's thats cool. An yeah
i'll wing you some pictures of my motor when I start on building the motor, as of now my bug still has no interior, the interior is in my room.I
havent been able to buy anything for it lately.
