About my beetle

This beetle project started with the purchase of a 1967 1500cc beetle. The beetle was in a very bad condition and needed major surgery to be revived to a new state of youth.

Nice floorpan and gearbox. But...... I prefer disk brakes, to give me serious stopping power.

Well sometimes you may dispair when you see your floor pan. But even this one is going to be excellent.

19 September 07John Snell's 1957 Oval VW Restoration


VW Beetle 57 oval

Nice site about the restoration of a 1957 Oval. Not much text about the project itself but pictures about the various stages of the restoration. The car was in very bad shape when it came to John, but it's comming together nicely. However I don't think that painting in the open air is good for a high quality paint job.

18 September 07Last Edition Beetle


Last Edition Beetle

Excellent site about the restoration of a 1978 Last Edition Beetle (number 250 of the last 300 beetles build in the UK). The restoration is still in progress. On the progress-o-meter you can see where they are now with the restoration. Unfortunately june 2006 is the last entry in the calendar.

The rolling chassis looks amazing. Very detailed and very straight (hopes mine will also look that good when finished).
