Thanks! The cookies are my street combo and the Gasburners are my strip/street (show off) combo. Those MH DOT`s is sure interesting on the road. The paint is unfortunately one click more blue compared to Bahama. I have the color code in my garage.

Thanks Mat - bus stoppers next!

Guys, one confession - I actually like Porsche glasses in the headlamps - it makes the front look a little bit more aggresive. I know it`s not according to the book but when I first noticed them on your car Mat they started to grow on me... hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Just don't give it such a hard time?

...I actually like Porsche glasses in the headlamps - it makes the front look a little bit more aggresive...

I'd say they probably suit the lines of a mid sixties Bug than they do the earlier ones but that's not to say I dislike them on an earlier car. I'm not having much luck with mine, in 2 years I've lost a couple to stones, do you think the angle of the originals may be more deflective?

Maybe I should drive it slower?

Her's my 65... i got this car for free of my uncle, he has used it since I was a kid, so it has a history for me. It has looked like this the whole time... but I do admitt to fitting the JAP wheels and the burners. In this pic its what you can call a cal-look-a-like. But soon it will be in the thirteens.

This is my European (France) 65 that was imported to Canada. 3rd owner of this original paint beetle. It was a bone stock car before I got my hands on it.

Alan, the interior in your car is quite awesome.

Thank you.

The biscuit cut style seats are double stitched. Richard Ducharme (dvkk) did my seats to perfection. My headliner has the dry cracked age look in the rear parcel area and the square weave is original. Richard's made a custom blue german square weave and custom 60's ford lunar pattern headliner (dots no uniform like the vw "dot" pattern"). The headliner and carpet have not been installed yet due to my time schedule and Richard's busy one. My 65 isn't pretty but I'm not that concerned since I can drive it anywhere and everywhere. I'll jump in and crack 12.00- 12.2's with North american pump gas at the track then the following day I'll drive her to work. Absolutely a blast to drive.

Swapped my hurst for a CSP unit and just love it!!
