Well after contless cars and projects I picked up with the HELP Tim Scholl I picked up a Red 1965 beetle. Anyway Photos that Tim took for me,   Ive been working long hours and learning french so my evenings have been taken up, BUT on the day she arrived ( Thank you Cal ship ) The Mrs took some photos for me.  Tucked up nice and safe  |

Nice car!
Kept seeing it for sale on the Samba and couldn't understand why it didn't sell right away,seemed like an awesome deal to me.
Look forward to seeing it at EBI!

The paint job I am not 100% happy with so depending on budget I am very very tempted to go for a decromed look over winter.....
Thoughts?
Don't mess!  Get driving, rip around in it for a while and enjoy it. THEN decide if you want to repaint it! |
