It has taken us 1+ yrs. to finish the bug.my wife drove it for 12 yrs. and it looked it,the whole rebuild started with "I smell gas around the front end of the bug" It developed into a restore.did my first body work 1950 after discharge from the Navy built a ford 1930 road rod channeled winscreen chopped etc. This rebuild was different had to go through tool boxes for all the body tools build a spray booth etc etc etc.well will try to upload some photos of the job.let me know if you like the beast.
rewired vw in 2001 after purchase installed own system.spent 25 yrs. as a master marine electrican the old system was chopped by the past owners.

Great nostalgia...had a '58 which I think had 34 hp, a 66 and a 68.
Nice work.
Nice work.
If you had a '58, it had a 26hp engine. I spent ten years as VW mechanic, from 69 to 79. That 26hp engine used to power the Zamboni machines.

Looks you did a hell of a nice job, especially the electrics. Is that a 73 Super Beetle?

Love the color and the over sized tires...what did you do to the engine?

Is that the voltage regulator on lower right?
You need some pretty wheels or at least some hubcaps !

Great restoration khh! I had a series of VWs in the 1960s-70s and loved each and every one of them. Have sworn that, some day before I shuffle off this stage I'm going to have another one and just drive it for the sheer joy again.

I had 4 of them - 2 1969s and 2 1971s back in the mid '70s. Love them!!! Made a motorized baby buggy out of one and used to put it in auto shows. Never won anything but people sure got a kick out of it. The stories I could tell from all the fun I used to have with them.
