What used to be a sad little Beetle

Post by Pampoen »

Hi, newbie here and this is my Beetle that i now own for about a month, the PO neglected the car and when i got it it was dirty and had these sad 14" wheels, couldnt get 2nd gear when turning the wheel had nothing to do with actually making the car turn. (Which your page helped me to fix by tightening a few bolts btw) Now im falling more and more in love with the car the more i drive it. Still some things to do but also thinking about selling as i have 3 cars and 1 garage.

Its defiantly a one of a kind as the door handels bootlid and such has been shaved, electric windows and custom dash, console and lights all round shows me this car used to be loved and after lots and lots of polish and elbow grease mixed with some 17" wheels that magic seems to be back . . . and im actually proud of it now.
