    My '69 Type 1

    04-24-2012 01:36 PM #1
    Not my car anymore, but I built it originally. My dad is maintaining the car after buying it from me about 15 years ago or so. I will have it again one day, but over his dead body so I'm in no rush.

    Specs:
    1969 VW bug
    1966 front/rear aprons, hood, trunk, fenders
    exhaust holes and molding holes shaven
    removed padded dash, painted metal dash
    removed headrest bar in seats
    interior complete, including trunk
    adjustable front beam with drop spindles and disc brakes
    1935cc motor with dual 40mm Dellortos
    Rancho Freeway Flyer trans w/hardened steel axles
    Euro Tuck exhaust

    Current pics:








    Basically how it looked when I bought it (don't have any of the original pics, but this was the closest I could find):




    While I was swapping body panels:


    The End.
