Title: My ´71 Project
Post by: Bux on May 30, 2006, 19:44:01 pm
Here we go! This my ´71 bug I am rebuilding at the moment.
I got it from a friend for a beer.
That´s the way it looked as I got it, I´m sure the bug had better days.
;D

the first rebuilt with fenders and hoods for the pre ´67 look.

The idea was to build a low budget bug with new and rebuilt technic and a nasty look. The saved money will be spent for a engine with more hp for surprises at the traffic light.



The finished floor pan with new front disc brakes....
