Worm, the stance looks GREAT. Personally, I wouldn't touch the rear height... but it's your car and it must be to your taste(s). What are your plans for future wheels? The 8 spokes look a lot better than when you first got 'em. So, is it safe to assume that you're going to have the car ready for Bug-In in May and the Classic in June? That would be cool. Stoked that you've already got another engine lined up. Man, that was quick.
Keep up the good work, it's shaping up rather nicely in a short amount of time.

This the 72 of a friend of mine. He is just turning into cal-look by buying a set of Gasburners with 135/80 and 205/70. Also a nice turbo muffler is on the way. I really dig the color of the car and told him to swap the bumpers for square ones. Engine is a 1300 at the moment but maybe looking for a nice 100hp 1776 this winter  .   |

Nice one, and yes square bumpers will look better on it. What's the color code ? Porsche Mexico Blue ? It looks like mine  . |

In fact those are the correct bumpers for that car as it´s a european standard model (08/'67 - 07/'73). It just has the wrong (later) taillights and a convertible decklid.
Cheers,

If you look at the front fenders, if it's a standard model the bumpers fixations should'nt been in the fenders sides but inside the hood. |

Hmm, all I can see are some indicators that are mounted where on late cars (from '68, besides standard models) those slots for the bumper brackets would be.
You can easily identify a standard bug from '68 - '73 by looking at the half moon shape behind the rear side window which isn´t pressed right through the metal (hard to explain in english...). As far as I know besides the big window standard bugs only the '68 model had this feature as well.
It seems that the car pictured has had some modifications (headliner, decklid, taillights) but I think it is a european standard bug (in germany called "Sparkäfer" BTW).
Bye,
Tobi

The half moon was on this car but it was removed and welded by the previous owner. So I guess it's not a sparkafer?

Worm your new car rocks don't touch the stance it's just right, it would look better with some lowbacks or a pair of late 80's/early 90's style recaro recliners something like this  |

Tobi, The 68 version Sparkäfer had no half-moons, that is a 70`s thing and it is definetely Sparkäfer only!! Also where are the indicators on the wings and where are the horngrills?? So I guess it must be a converted Sparkäfer! If it was form me, change the rear lights and stick on a 1302 vert lid and keep the bumpers! The stick in a nice TYP IV and we are talking Cheeers Stephan |

But its going to be awhile before they get slapped in. In this pic you really see how high the back is. The other pic didnt show it well. I think there is way too much space between the tire and fender well. It reminds me of a Camaro with air shocks..... We'll see Thanks! |

Nico, got any more pics of that bad boy? That's the look I'm going for with my '69. However it's toga white [with sunroof], red basket weave interior with lowbacks out of a '66 and 5.5's in front and deep 6's in the rear, all earlies. What size tires you got on that? I'm currently running 145's but I'm thinkin I might bump up to 155's.

Hey, how can I get the drivers seat to move back another 2-3 inches? Any tricks with the seat rails? (too damn tall)
Drilling the seat rail(s) out and welding them in further back? |

Yep, I guess tires are 145's on this one. Some members here know this car and can tell you about exact sizes ?   |

Sweet car, nice job. Like I mentioned before, I'm shooting for a similar feel with 5.5 and 6" alloys. Just got my fifth wheel tonight. So now it looks like I'm gonna be packaging them up to send to Al. If you got any more pics, send them to me for inspiration [ jeffrey@cjvws.com]. -jeffrey |
