1972 beetle the fun begins

[paulisa]

bought this a couple of years ago as a rolling car with no interior or motor it had had new floors and heater channels fitted , so i rebuilt a motor i had with 1641 barrels and piston kit then cut out the inner wings and made holes in the rear wings for the buggy exhaust . this weekend my 13 year old son and i started on the body work flatting it down we got the interior done and painted white today and will carry on with the rest over the next couple of weeks

Very nice. I used to have one that Reg. Love the exhausts.

[paulisa]

it will be all white with orange wheels and side stripes exhaust sounds mint and looks a little different to the norm

[kustomkriss]

just got the same exhausts for mine but cutting of the cherry bombs and replace with a pair of oval boxes for some peace and quite

you going a bit porsche gt3 ish white with orange wheels and decals

to be honest the theme was set as i love ral 2004 orange and had some in my paint stock but not enough for the whole car so decided to do wheels in it and i found 5L of Saab polar white 2 pac and they seamed to go together choice made and a cheap paint job lol

Nice to see another youngster getting stuck in. Once my 14 yr olds trooper project is out of the way, will see about getting him fired up on the beetle, unless another project rears its head. Having evil thoughts about a sand rail
