Looks excellent
a good year for torsion bar beetles too..
just need a front disc brake upgrade ..
although No beetles were ever sold in the USA with disc brakes.. even in 1976 etc..
only Karmann made cars had discs..
cheers

so, they aren't a necessity.. Lee

Excellent! I look forward to seeing Kermit parked up with the rest of us then
It's MUCH lighter than Scirocco green. Can't wait to see the finished product!

No no not auction... ACTION Day. No one's car is going under the hammer :p
It's at Wynnum, and it's in September. Keep an eye on the coming events section for more info when the VWDCQ post a thread about it! It's basically
a great big show and shine and swap meet!
