The resto of my 67 bug......updated!!!!
The time has come to start work on my 67 beetle. :bounce
The bug is a pan off resto/kustom which will feature two tone paint, full re-trim, be slammed with a narrowed adjustable beam, feature whitewall
crossply tyres and a laod of accessories. I will do 100% of the work myself.
I have started with a two owner bug from Tassie.

So to do that you need to take off 6 inches, weld those in, and you have a 4-5 inch narrowed beam!
N!

ooh :o I like the idea of the whitewalled crossplys. Definately be one sick ride!
How is the tire height looking? I dunno the height of XPlys, but from memory they're damned tall so could hit the tops of guards. I doubt it, but
may be worth checking with some of the volksrodders who run xplys without guards.

We can see a bit of a VW logo I think on your arm - can you take a pic of it?
I think our fearless leader (Jim) also has one.

Just got my 5 rims back from the blasters. I have painted them in POR15, they are now waiting for 2pack primer then paint.
The crossplies I have are 550-15, a very skinny tyre. They are not super tall though, no wont have any rubbing probs. I have a set of Cocker brand w/w
crossies on my daily driver and they have a very tall side profile.

The resto of my 67 bug....updated!!!
OK, the last couple of week's I have been doin my pan.
After getting it back to bare metal I prepped the steel and painted it POR15. After the 2 coat's cured i took off the shine and sprayed a light
coat of stone shield. Next, 3 coat's of grey 2pak that I had mixed to match the original colour.
Here I have fitted the sound pads and rear brake pipes etc.

I have also had the gear rod out and replaced all bushes and re-greased all joints. Also stripped and repainted the handbrake and gear stick.
Now onto the beam.......

Thanks, I am happy the way it's coming together. I can't wait to have it finished.
The body is sitting quietly. I am completing the pan first then straight on to it.
The paint on the g/stick and handbrake has been matched from original and is a ivory cream colour. (Looks white in photo). Funny thing is, I have 2
german gear stick knobs and they are the same colour as all the other knobs but the one I have screwed back on is the same part number, but has a
little aussievw symbol underneath and has a speck on it and is darker.
I have to sandblast the seat frames soon, then i will also paint them the same ivory/cream colour. If you want Costa, i can paint your g/stick &
h/brake at the same time.
