My VWFREAK Beetle
This is my 65 beetle, some of you may have seen this before but I changed the look and gone for a Old School, meets, Rat, meets Drag. Gotta be
different.

Thanks guys, I can't go as low as I would like on the rear, due to the extended sump and the 225/50/15's on the rear. I run the rake look, gives it
a nice old school racer feel.

Hey Adam, go nuts at Micks. Just cut Rachel away to gain a little more weight for the flight home.

The rear rims are 9 inch rims, offset was a nightmare but with the help of some CB spacer, a grinder and BFH they squeezed in just right.
The whole idea was to keep it original looking, if you can call it original. lol

She'll be at the Autofest alright, should be interesting to see what the classic German scene thinks of my old girl. The interior should have them
shaking there heads, especially the roof.
Also vehicles attending are required to have a drip tray, canberra area requirement, even if your ride doesn't leak.:duh

Check this link out for info on the Autodest.
http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=63327
Also the beam has been narrowed 4 1/2 inches the max you can go and still have shokies without chopping the body. But only with Bugboy's custom
towers. Normally you can only get 4 inches and still retain shokies, but with his custom design you get another 1/2 inch. 1/2 inch sweeter in my
books.

Guess what arrived in the mail today ? The new solenoids I need to the NOS instillation, I feel a few back road tests coming up in the coming months.
I feel a HP shot coming on.
Still haven't told the wife, I can already envisage her response. lol
