Hi mate,
Great to see you here on Retrorides! Your Beetle is so cool. When I saw it at Retro Show Santa Pod, I took loads of pictures of the rear wheels in the arches!
Love the lows and the camber together with the patina.
Nice work 👍

Love the lows and the camber together with the patina. Nice work 👍 Cheers , appreciate the positive comments . Rear wheel fitment took some effort , but looking to get lower , on a taller tyre over the winter . Should produce more camber . 👍 |

 The spec keeps changing on this . I tend to almost get something finished , then figure another (although not always better !!) way of doing things . Engine , Rebuilt by me . 1641 with an uprated cam . Fitted with a 1.5 inch raise kit . Was on twin carbs & went ok , but now back on a standard carb as I’m collecting bits to turbo this engine . Interior . Swopped from Black to Cream seats & steering wheel . BugTech gear shifter . Suspension . Originally lowered a bit when i got it , but i had to go lower . This ment it wouldn’t go on my drive anymore . So air ride solved that issue . AirLift V2 management . Eva Resto front set up . Custom rear . I got a System from a well known company , but the drive was horrible & the bags at very strange angles & twisted . So re made by me & my brother . Wheels Tyres . Fuches replica’s . 7x15 165/65 9x15 195/55 This will change as I’m looking to put 195/65’s on the back . Prefer the big tyre look . Body . Old & battered . The shell is twisted from an old accident . One day it’ll get straightened . Has also had work to clear the raised engine .   |
