No the car was a complete strip to bare metal and repaint. The only thing I didn't do was separate the body from the pan and paint under the hood or
in the engine bay...... Maybe next time when I change the colour to something a little more modern |

Looks sensational. The widened steel rims looked good, but the porsche rims take it to another level.
I have always thought that white suits the round shape of beetles perfectly. It looks very straight and clean. :thumb

Sweet ride.
What rear brake package did you use? Where did you source the slotted and rilled rotors, imports? or locally?
A bit more info on the brakes would be great.
Thanks.

Mike M,
I bought the brakes from Volksconversions ( http://www.volksconversions.com )
based on the Gold Coast. $50 for the slotting and $50 for the drilling per set (Front set and rear set, $100 each). Well designed as they just bolted
on... if you read the instructions first... just a hint. I was happy with the result.... as you can see from the posting.
And a quick picture of the car when I bought it in 1990......

Very nice German Look. Engine transformation is great. Makes me want to get rid of the blue from my engine.
We should do up a German look Calendar or at least post a collage of pictures of GL cars on here.
Show us some more pics of the interior. Also what are the specs of the engine?
