He guys, iŽm Matthias, 31, work in a retirement home as a geriatric nurse  . I am "bugged" since i bought in 1995 my first issue of VW Speed... on the cover was a chopped custom bug called street roach... A few weeks ago i bought a nice 68 1300 bug, and iŽll build a summer daily late looker..... HereŽs a pic of the beauty  Some guys restored it about ten years ago. They worked not perfekt, but itŽs an solid car  and bonestock except from an old luisi steering wheel so andnow iŽll penetrate you with my cal looker in the making  cheers matthias |

Oh, that's nice! Jealous! If it was mine I'd add dropped spindles and discs on the front in Porsche pattern, redrilled rear drums and a set of anodised Fuchs. A nice little 2007 IDA motor and it'd be perfect!  |

This week the postman brought some goodies to me A set of used fake gasburners... i know i know, but the price was hot they are in very good condition....  and on an auction plattform (  ) i purchase cheap an empi trigger shifter  bad quality iŽve to rework it a lil bit, cause i canŽt shift back from third to second gear  and Helge Ohmes from DFL sent a set of TDE rearpipes for the sound of the stock engine, before iŽll buy when the money let a bigger mill..... they are stainless steel and sounds good   |

Thx guys the bug was a good deal today i reworked and mounted the empi shifter now it works fine here are pics from the dash... the radio is to modern, iŽll change it to an older one or iŽll mount some gauges for the bigger mill in i plan in future... but with the empi shifter it looks nice and clean i think... maybe an lil tach or something   have a nice weekend |

The Gasburners look really great under a late model, and with stock wide beam and brake drums they will fit perfect under the fender.

Chage your rear tires will be enough !! They're too thin for gasburners |

Nice and clean ride! Congrats.
I agree, 3-4 inner splines and 3-4 outer in return will make the rear just a little bit lower and improve the overall looks.

No i donŽt want lower the rear but in future, when the car gets a bigger mill, iŽll but on the rear 205/70s or some other 70th tires... i love them with this white lettering today i got some alu T-Bars from Fast Fab and i built them on: Try a look     now i donŽt know where i should built the license plate on.... i donŽt want drill holes in the front.... and i know... the rear looks not very well with the stock exhaust pipes.... i think iŽll put on a single or dual quiet muffler... have a nice day |

I love it without the bumpers! You said that quiet packs are coming (duals would look great!) So the only change I'd make is to black out the letters on the rear tyres - I've never been a fan of them!
