Any updates or pics Karlito... Would love to see a thread on this Beetle.

:beer:

Sorry ive been a bit slack on my updates, (a certain garnet red bug has been chewing my time up!)

Ive done the door post, gutters and rear bumper hanger on the 67, my colleague has taken over the welding as im tied up on other projects, he finished off the inner front arch, front wheel well edge and and the top of the front quarter on Friday.

Thats the drivers side done the passenger side is threatening to be in better shape, we shall see...
I will pop some pics up asap i promise!

Well, I have pretty much finished the 67 now.
Just some final tidying to do and off for the mot.
Pics to follow soon I promise honest I do!

Did you go for the whole shebang, or light resto and keeping the patina?

Sympathetic resto, it needed a hell of a lot of work, despite being structurally ok....

That looks delicious. In a way, it makes me glad I didn't buy it, as I don't have the time at present to do what you've done, but a small part of me wishes I had, seeing it now you've done it :drool:

Lots of questions -

What engine did you put in?
Are those 67 only rear bumpers mounts (mine need doing)?
Steel or fibre glass wings?
Are you selling it?

Bet the guy who left it to fester in that garage would be gutted if sees these pics...

That looks nice :thumbup: Hope you have many miles of trouble free motoring with her.

I put an H code 1500 in, bog standard.
Wings and running boards are Day mouldings.
I've never used em before and I'm massively impressed, fantastic fit.
Bumper hangers are standard pre 67 ones with hand made sections above to create the 67 only ones.

I sold it two weeks after buying it!!
I've been sorting it out for the new owner who is surprising his family with it as a Christmas pressie.
