1963 bug
Hey guys just posting a few pics of the 1963 bug i just found on gum tree. I only paid 800 looks pretty original and they previous owners gave me
heaps of spares including original bumpers, indicators, badges and like 5 sets of headlights. Just missing the wolfsburg badge on the bonnet... If
anyone knows where i could get one from at a reasonable price could you please pm me. Anyway take a look and let me know what u think.

well the people who owned it before me tried to restore it and cut all of the wiring, the body is back to metal and etch primed, taking the shell of
and re painting the chassis... pretty much a complete resto.

It's going to take a while, body has gone in for welding repairs only costing around 600. Then i'm going to putty spray, under coat in 2 pac and wet
rub then should be all good for painting in probably around a month or two.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to go 'factory look'.
Inside the wheel arches, under the guards etc, should be same colour as body.

Yeah i was thinking the same, but it isn't really going to be seen and if i did get it painted inside the wheel arches it is probably going to cost
me quite a bit more than i am already paying

Go the body colour under the guards IMO.
It shouldn't cost too much more.
Everything is already off and the prepwork doesn't need to be as detailed as on top.
Throwing black under there is for cleaning up a crappy car really quick
