well I've been talking about it for a while now and its finally going to happen - in a few weeks I am going to pick up my new project car.

A very solid 1966 Beetle - and the best bit is I still get to keep the Manx  Grin

Cool! Nice to hear that the Manx is staying.
But I hope you got that 66 really cheap, it's got the steering wheel on the wrong side!  Grin
Kidding aside, it looks like a nice project. Congratulations.

Thanks for the awsome response guys and your right it is a superb starting point for a Cal Look project - it has had 3 NOS 1/4 panels fitted and it even has the original heater channels with NO repairs  Shocked

I can't wait to get my hands on it - I have quite a few COOL ideas and parts  for this project and i don't think you boys will be disapointed  Wink Smiley

As far as colours go I am still undecided - it WILL be a 70's porsche colour - I am looking at Willow Green OR Bahama Yellow  Huh Huh Huh

What do you think guys Huh Huh Huh

P.S I glad i'm keeping the Manx too Smiley

hey Lee,

i think the willow green is a cool choice, sloping headlight cars always look good in green, it just really seems to work.

yeah I thought so too - I'm keepin all my other ideas to myself for now but i think you will like what you see  Wink

if you not joking about that offer to store the manx that would be AWSOME - It won't be for a few weeks yet though  Smiley

And yeah pop round anytime - I am dying to see the oval in the flesh, I've only seen one pic and it looked awsome  Smiley
