Luna, My 1963 Beetle Project

Post by Cogita »

Hi guys

After being a Ghia guy for the last 8 years, it was time for something different, my first beetle... Exciting times ahead.

This is Luna, my lockdown project.

She has her original 1200cc motor and gearbox.

Currently standing due to clutch slipping issues that came about recently after a 12v conversion.

The colour looks great! You need to look for 33mm runner board beadings for year correctness.
