another one
ok so here we go..
the red beetle shell has rust in the pillars, doors, more places etc... and thats all ive discovered SO FAR! so then this little rust free beauty
popped up and i had to have it. its a 60's ragtop, hasnt been regoed since 1976, no rust at al except for some surface on the front of the ragtop.
runs, has no brakes, but is just SO DAMN SOLID
so the plan is to do a body swap on the two, one ive replaced tha cannvas on the ragtop and put the door back together, so that the ragtop shell will
be on the red octobers pan givine me a:
SLAMMED RUST-FREE EARLY RAGTOP
heres some pictures:
