Bubbles
Introducing my bug, Bubbles. I have had this for a while. Its been under my house for a year or so and i have plans to restore her. Just replaced her
engine for another 1600. She has been stripped off seats, carpet and liners. I have repainted her but still just in primer. Hope to get her back to
blue again. She will be ratty here and not so there. Just want to get her driveable so I can get my self own to the Ferry and around my island.
Hope to be more involved with the vw world and forums.
Any input appreciated.
Hope myt pics come thru as i am still working it all out.

Stripped down just after. Mmm kinda like the chrome look. Back then thought she was going to be a rod. But now she is primed again waiting for that
original blue to come back.

Man, I would've just rubbed off those graphics and left the patina!
It looks pretty solid though

Looks good and a late 1960 model I believe. Be careful of those rear tail lights not to damage them.
Keep updates coming as you get them.

Tried to color match a piece from the back of the glove box. Had a blow out on the spray gun hence the undercoat splash. Any way the final colour is a
little darker. Unimpressed with the colour match. Would recommend checking the colour of paint before you walk out the door of the shop. At the end of
the day the cars painted.

Bubbles update
Finally got down to the last layer of paint. Well the 4 th and final coat was laid today. took the car out to dry in the sun and get a bit of air
today. My other Wife, the original likes it. Even more satisfiying to know. Bubbles had her jewels put back. A bit of bling has really made me happy
to know what she would of looked like when she was younger.
I took a few pics this arvo just so folks could have a look. My mate in Norway would like to see them. Since he looked after the bug for nearly a
decade. I just need to cut her back and polish her to a super shine. Need to fix the ratty door cards. Put the new headliner in, Buy a rubber bits ie
window seals and etc. Get her tuned and hope the bloke here on the Island get her on the road 'worthy for me. Me thinks that all this may take
another 2 years. Who thought a simple spray job at home could take 2 years.
Will keep updates as I get time to do more work on her.

roof rack addition.
Found a set of tough racks for my bug.Hope you clean it up and varnush or rust kill it white. Also have spruced up the rims and painted them recently.
All four with 165s all round for cheese cutting round my island. I have added a few new door rubbers since last post but not much else. starting
fixing steering wheel horn threads and plan to get rest of windows in.
