Title: Porsche Irish Green '64 Bug Post by: VWGlassee on August 01, 2012, 15:52:24 pm Hello Everybody :)
My name is Yannick, I'm 22 Years old and I'm from Belgium! I Bought my first bug when I was 17 years old. When I was 18 years old I bought my second bug and restored it. (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/Shoot27-01-2011-2.jpg) Then I fell in love with this beauty and sold my '69 Bug ;D A fully original '64 Bug from Sweden (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/DSC_1061.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/DSC_1067.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/DSC_1072.jpg) Here she is lowered and rolling on BRM's: (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/GazzerBug-1.jpg) About 2 mounths ago I installed a new CSP Gearbox (1,2,3 short 4 long): (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/buildin5.jpg) Breatherbox: (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/buildin6.jpg) 1835cc Engine ready to be plugged in :D (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/buildin1.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/buildin8.jpg) And this is how she looks today: (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/shoot5.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/shoot2.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/Shoot1kopie.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/shoot4.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/shoot3.jpg) But she isn't ready yet!

Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: alstare84 on August 03, 2012, 16:15:28 pm congrats ;)
engine specs? Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: VWGlassee on August 03, 2012, 17:28:20 pm Thanks Guys!!
I don't have any specs about the engine because I bought it like this: (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/ec4d386f.jpg) The guy who sold me the motor only knew that it was a 1835cc engine. He had a 1302 bug and sold it without the engine. When I resprayed it, renewed a lot of parts, ... I saw that it did had Street Eliminators cilinderheads (is that the right word?). So I don't know what camshaft it has. But normally this will be a w110 I think :) All I know is that I'm verry happy with the engine. It runs really great! ;D Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: Jens-Ole on December 25, 2012, 13:48:37 pm Is that a stock and unmodified fan shroud?
Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: nicolas on December 30, 2012, 20:48:03 pm Is that a stock and unmodified fan shroud? in the last picture? yes. the other one. i don't think so. cool ride. and indeed good numbers for the displacement. Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: VWGlassee on December 31, 2012, 00:35:50 am Is that a stock and unmodified fan shroud? Eum... What is a fan shroud?

I made the carpets myself. The seats were done by a pro off course :) Bought a big carpet (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/8e29f5d60486a27ebfd6c61ca2623cfe.jpg) After some cutting: (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/7bb9d1743538a422f70a0b4bd8f347d1.jpg) Done :) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/Matten.jpg) Total view of dash with carpets: (https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-9/10171852_10202861432851361_1078248890_n.jpg) Sandblasted and resprayed the frames of the seats: (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/IMG_0527.jpg) And I also resprayed my 'convertible' deck lid :) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/De%2064er%20Zweed/CabrioMotorkap.jpg) And some pics of the total car :) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook1.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook2.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook3.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook4.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook5.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook6.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook7.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook8.jpg) (http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm59/VWGlassee/64CalLook9.jpg) Yannick Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on May 20, 2014, 11:12:09 am Wow, that are really nice Pics!!! :)

VERY slowly getting there. The body has been welded. The inside, engine bay and trunk are ready for painting. The exterior will be done by the bodyshop. In october the last adjustments will be made on the body and the bug has to be painted this year! I'm going to be a father this december so I want the 'dirty' work to be done before the birth of my daughter ;D Some pics: sandblasting (https://i.imgur.com/HqYmq1n.jpg) Body was in overall good condition. But it has been repared badly.

The body stood 5 months at the first painter. He kept making promises bit when I realized that this was going nowhere I picked the body up and brought her to another painter. He did a perfect job. The car is absolutely beautifull :D
I’m now reassembling her. When she’s ready I will post pics in colour ;D (https://i.imgur.com/vhndjTR.jpg) On this day 4 years ago I started disassembling her... so far the restauration that would take about a year... ooops! :D Yannick Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: VWGlassee on August 06, 2019, 23:09:56 pm Slowly putting al the parts back together.

Here are some more pictures of the in- en outside of the car. Porsche 914 gauges with 911 steeringwheel (with metal hockypuck since it used to be a badwing horn button). The trim on the dashboard goes all the way from the glovebox to the gauges. Handle on the dash has been removed and switches are repositioned ;) there is also a suction Talbot rear view mirror on the frond window. All the other gauges are tucked away in the glovebox 8) (https://i.ibb.co/pv30jHR/17-B9-CC18-693-B-449-C-B713-A9704-F97-C3-B4.jpg) (https://ibb.co/nsDgMXn) Back seat has been removed and there is a custom made bar in the back to mount the harness ;) (I went to the backery so you can see the bread behind the passenger seat ;D ) (https://i.ibb.co/6FL0Q3m/B00-CC0-CB-AE1-F-4422-B001-FA79-ECFE32-CE.jpg) (https://ibb.co/GRNQmK0) Talbot Berlin mirror, Flat4 BRM's with speedwell center caps, one-piece windows (https://i.ibb.co/2vnXQPj/96-D937-B3-8-C37-47-CF-A0-B7-E0-E7-B9-E2-F0-DC.jpg) (https://ibb.co/1rvH5K9) Love the A1.

I somehow remember seeing you quite some years ago at the 'eurosunday' or what was it called in Lommel. I think you didn't have the car that long at the time. Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: VWGlassee on May 29, 2020, 23:25:21 pm Thanks everyone ;)
Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: VWGlassee on May 29, 2020, 23:28:58 pm yes that looks good! I somehow remember seeing you quite some years ago at the 'eurosunday' or what was it called in Lommel. I think you didn't have the car that long at the time. That’s a long time ago! ;D Back then I had the car for 2 years. It was back in 2013 when I visited that show. It was the first testdrive with the CMS wheels and after fixing the car... i hit a curbwall on a wet roundabout ::) wrecked one brm wheel, rear axle and drum!

Yannick Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: nicolas on May 30, 2020, 15:55:17 pm yeah, it's been a while.
I do like your car and I must say it has a lot of ideas that also are done on my car (or should be done to it when the car is done) Irish green was in the running for a few years, but I won't go for it. I do still like it a lot, but I have found other colours which suit my car and taste better. yours looks stunning. Title: Re: My Swedish Bug '64 Post by: Wout on June 01, 2020, 20:27:46 pm Very very nice car Yannick!!!
