Where has the raslak gone?!


« on: March 16, 2010, 09:50:22 am »

After a long search, I picked up a Beetle on Friday (15 March). Right now I just want to get him driveable, but I will be giving him a RestoCal look eventually. Well, sort of. I'm pretty much going to pick and choose between styles to get a look that I'm happy with. If it doesn't fit a pidgeon-hole, tough!  Cheesy

Pics!











Rear ends needs the most attention - both wings and the rear valance need replacing and there's a hole in the body above the engine bay. The bonnet is also beyond repair.

But otherwise he's really solid. Starts, goes, stops - you know, the vital things :lol:

Updates as and when!

Lovely, aren't they?  Cheesy

There's a whole 28K on the clock and I doubt that's been fiddled with going on the condition of the seats and lack of wear on the carpets. Interior-wise, all Bee-Bee needs is a damn good clean. He's getting more than that, though  Wink

It's got potential! I'm hoping that when you say Resto-Cal you mean restored first, then Cal Looked! Wink

Here's my old '70, similar colour for inspiration!

Yeah, pretty much - enough resto to get him through the MOT and then Cal Looked.

Yours is very nice indeed  Wink
