61 Bug

Post by vintage »

Hello All,

Just purchased this 61 with papers over the net and was very surprised to see the condition. My intension is to do a huge drop and narrow at the front. I want to refit all chrome with a nice set of white walled tires/original rims. Have a majority of the parts from my donor car purchased 4 weeks ago. Any advise on where to source front beam from? Any good mechanics in Vereeniging? Cheers. Vintage.
