My ´71 Project

[Bux]

Here we go! This my ´71 bug I am rebuilding at the moment.
I got it from a friend for a beer.
That´s the way it looked as I got it, I´m sure the bug had better days.




A little bit cutting and welding....




the first rebuilt with fenders and hoods for the pre ´67 look.




The idea was to build a low budget bug with new and rebuilt technic and a nasty look. The saved money will be spent for a engine with more hp for surprises at the traffic light.


The finished floor pan with new front disc brakes....





The body is now ready for the paintjob....



I will post some pics when the paintjob is done.

By the way does anyone know if 4lug Empi sprintstar wheels with ET6 fit under the original rear fenders??

Good luck with all the work! - i hope to be in this kind of "trouble" really soon and honestly, I just can't wait! Waiting for more pictures and news!
