My 1962 Beetle Updated Pics
Hey guys,
Just thought I would share some pics of my 1962 Beetle.
Shes my pride and joy. Totally original, immaculate and rust free. A rare car itself its classified as a 1962 and 1/2, the only fully Australian built
Beetle aka the catch up beetle. Wolfsburg used to send knock down kits from Germany to Australia and put them together at Clayton.
There are some minor minor probs ie some dents tired front seats. So far ive completely cleaned up the engine (original) and had it fully serviced. It
ran perfectly when I bought it, but im fussy with my cars. New fuel lines, new indicator switch and ivory steering wheel.
There is not much work needed, but im slowly getting her perfect. I drive it regularly and shes never let me down. As mentioned ill never sell her.
She will be a member of my family for a long time to come
Ill post some more up to date pics over the weekend.

As im refering from a book "Volkswagen In Australia" The 1962 & 1/2 Beetle is refered to as "The Australianised Beetle" VWA even put a made in
Australia sticker on it. (as mine beetle has this sticker though it is showing 45 yrs of age)
The book refered the CKD's were replaced in 1963 and continued till the 1974 Superbug model.
Im getting the info from there

Hi Luke,
Like your ride, but I am a bit bias. I am doing a ground up rebuild of a Turquoise 61 beetle (wont be stock). Also I am only in Casula, so not far
away either.
Will try to post some pics of my rebuild over the week-end. Down to a bare floor pan and a completely striped shell awaitng sand blasting.

thanks guys.
After some time being off the rd due to a fuel leak, the bug is back on the streets, running better then ever!
Since my last posts on the car, i have sourced a original 6 volt awa radio and had that installed plus some other bits and peices.
As of next month the car will be back to recieving monthly add ons and upgrades. Ideally im looking for a rat style roof rack plus thinking bout
adjustable front beam plus some new axel boots.
Will keep updated on progress.

Updated pics with roof rack
Just an update and to the progress of my 62 bug.
Ive had the 6 volt radio installed and it works great. Also I picked up an awsome retro roof rack, thanks heaps hewy.
Also ive searched ebay and purchased some great 60's era accessories, 2 malleys eskies and a old skool suitcase.
Next on the list is the door window rubbers which need to be replaced as they are badly cracked.
In addition the axel boot have been replaced, they looked ancient
Anyways...enjoy

Small Update
been a while, but due to other commitments i havent had a chance to do anything to the bug.
Ive had the eyelids removed as i felt they looked a little comical, i reckon car looks better without them.
The front quater window seals have been replaced. The old ones had completely rotted due to 4 decades for heat. Replaced with West Coast Metric
rubbers.
Minor paint touch ups, hans klacck was able to match to colour as close as he could.
My little addition is the "D" sign. They are usually displayed at the rear of the car, but due to the big rear bumper over rider, i have put it a
the front of the car. I personally think it looks better there.
Ill Put some pics up tonight
