THAT IS AN AWESOME COLOUR SCHEME!!!
What type/ brand of paint are you using?
the side panel colour looks cream in the photos and its the colour I'm tring to find for my bug... did you paint this yourself or send to a
spayer?
You've done an excellent job on it mate, congrats 
Anything else in the pipes for it?
[size=5]"So... when will the bug be finished?"[/size]
[size=4]HA, better question: "will it ever be finished?"..[/size]

Looks great mate!! Just a quick question about the 2 pics of rust you have there, how did you go about fixing those two sections? I have the same rust
spots and am not real sure how to tackle it. Not quite to the extent that you have but pretty close. I tell you what if my beetle looks half as good
as yours I will be pumped.
Cheers in advance for any help

thanks for that .
as for the rust I cut out the rusted areas and made plates to the same size and welded into place that way there is little bog required . I also
sprayed lanolin every where on the inside to try and help prevent any further rust .
