place! its so awsome! and thats my dog!! her names Mintie!!
i love my car!! as u can tell, i take a photo of it almost every day, iv removed the rear bumper, and replaced the front bumper with a newer one with
no dents and no rust! AND!!! the only reason i had superman covers on was i just took my dog to the vet! and didnt want her nails to cut the
vynal!!... i hate em!!! the seat covers i mean!
i love my car

Fat Chick is what people call post-1967 VeeDubs.

hi there
good beetles - i own the "fat chick" round the corner from your place
If you are stuck for ideas come round and have a chat or come round to V Force at Mortlake and see what is on offer to get your beetle handling
PS
What happened to the "BUS" ??
I also own the white T3 with the Fuchs copies on them

good start is do all the bushings, some good quality shocks and maybe a front swaybar
running on stock width tyres is abit limiting to but u gotta draw a line somewher or it just never ends
but yea listen to Barry, go talk to Richard he'll sort u out

i was going to mod my car and leave my sisters alone! keep her '71 super semi-auto as a run around as its a 1 millinth anniversary eddition, and then
i do up my '69 
and yes i kno where stephen lives! hes a mate of my brothers!!
AND ZOMFG!!! i see ur beetle so much! every time i go down hampten rd i always look out for it!
