It's a Swedish spec '64 - I think it's L87 Pearl white - I've not checked the code yet, I'm just waiting for a battery to arrive from the factor across the way then I'll get it in the workshop and have a poke around. The interior is a place of great beauty, it's a 2 tone grey striped fabric and it's perfect |

Like this:   But with side trim, no sunroof and a stock decklid and interior. I can't bring myself to ruin it's finest points Also, unless I win big in Vegas it'll probably be Flat 4 BRMs - I'll spend that money on Italian IDAs before I buy proper wheels I'm just going to sort the brakes and get it registered first though - I've never had a stock bug before so it'll be a new experience for me! We think it's been off the road since 1982 so stopping power isn't so great  |

Matt
If you are planning to loose the side trim let me know. I have a space for some to go over the top of some Aussie flash trim.
Cheers

I'm painting new brake and steering bits - it has no brake hydraulics at the moment so I'm putting a set of cylinders, a master cylinder, front shoes and flexi hoses on it so it will stop as well as go. It's not very exciting photo wise I'm afraid.  |

Are you removing the rear gravel guards? That would look cool.

I called round to Mats workshop on friday night to have a look round his latest purchase.....Its frickin' beautiful!
I spent about 5 minutes just opening and closing the doors,the interior is just perfect and the engine bay is thing of beauty!
I will definetly be round again this week to make sure hes lowered it,sounded like he might have been having second thoughts.

Not yet - they're rivetted on, the Sweedes just love accessories! It used to have a bank of spotlights on the front as well, rally style Work has stopped play for now, customer's cars keep jumping the queue |

Sorry for the lack of updates! A busy work schedule and the speed officialdom work at has seen to that. Today these arrived though:  The office:  I've put about 20km on it in the last 24 hours, including a high speed dash to get to our workwear supplier before they shut for the weekend. Aside from spitting out a silencer It's a good job really as our "modern" company car (an '89 16 valve GTI) is temporarily out of action with a defective alternator pulley that Volkswagen have had to order from Germany. Here's the guilty Golf in question on the day the Bug was delivered.  |
