Sweet car dude. I love the stance, the engine, everything.
You should drill your wheels or run painted 356 wheels, would be cool.

I think it's a safe idea to remove your Empi's. When I saw it last Sunday at Bitburg, I was surprise to see the damages on it I can give you the adress where I made weld my Fuchs. |

My first car was an 74 beetle too. It is in thousands parts, and there where many times that I want to sell it. But it is my first car, and I know there will come one day he will shine like he came out of the factory  Thumps up Fabs. |

Hi Roland, Could you check the serial number on the old trans of your 68. I always wondering if mine is original or not |
