So cool but the stereo looks miles out of place on that dash :D I take it the centre console is an add on?

I love beetles

[DefiantFrog]

Thats purrdy...! I like old Beetles :D

[Karma Supra]

Very nice.. I love old beetles!!!

Now for the important bit....

Whos is the very tidy looking silver Mkiii?????

[Twincam.GTi]

Very nice Beetle

[Tegan]

I love that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gimme! ill swop ya the mk1 for it? :P pleeeeeeaaasee :D

[stevetubbyturbo]

thats in very good condition

one of my first jobs i was replacing engines on them and it really surprised me how easy and uncomplicated beetles are to work on.

Great cars

[Demonic Angel]

Thats a gorgeous car - I love the colour and the interior - its totally blingin'!

Sometimes the oldies are just the best - especially when they're kept in such good nick!

Thanks For the nice comments guys.. i bought this car when i was 15 so i could rebuild it and understand how cars work :) it only took 4 years to do :)

The centre console and running boards are made by me.. they are a one off that the centre console was very tricky to do.. i know the stereo is out of place but it does disappear quite well. :)

@ stevetubbyturbo... yeah i couldn't believe how simple a VW flat four engine is.. you can almost rebuild the whole thing with a swiss army knife

@Tegan sorry i will never give this car up. it's my pride and joy.. i was offerd £6500 at a show last year. and i still said no :)

@Kama supra that’s my dad 3L turbo.. it's got a few things wrong with it... i'm trying to convince him that he should spend some money and get it back on the road (but he's being hard work :))

Thanks again for your nice comments about a German car :D

Btw... the tunes in my car is 60's music only :)

not at all :D

WEll work harder on him!!! It looksa nice one, and thats fairly rare colour...

Whats wrong with it? I have spared galore and have pretty much fixed everything that can go wron ona mkiii... I'm guessing its a G reg???

My mum used to have a 60s drop top beetle.. black, black hood, white wall tyres and extra chrome.. it was pretty cool, but very unreliable

[Kev Mc]

If I was into VW Beetles I'd love it but I'm not a fan of them I'm afraid, I've never seen a better 1 in my life though

[cfc1]

Superb car.. and yes, the best place to start when learning about engines.. easy to work on.

Can't you get a modern stereo in a more traditional style, like piano key buttons etc.. just one that looks old, but will play cd's/mp3's?

Edit: Something like this....

or this

Linked to a cd autochanger.

Found it here after a quick google.. but there will probably be better ones around.

Nice

I wish I had the money/driveway/garage for something older and "different" :(

[Al J]

That is absolutely gorgeous. Good work! B)

Don't know if it's just me but there seems to be an American theme going on there and that's not a bad thing, the Americans love their Beetles.

[Calisto]

Tim hun that is a gorgeous looking Beetle me likes.

[jerry phipps]

Your Beetle is seriously minted. What a great looker

[Karma Supra]

Its nice to see people with other totally different non jap cars!!!!!

There are some very nice dubs in Henley :D There is a really cool black one, subtle, dropped, oval rear screen etc etc

I have a strong dislike for the "new" beetle <_<

[sera_beetle]

aww thanks guys for the nice comments

Kamasupra.. i pushing my dad :) he's making a list of what the car needs :) and i totally agree about the new beetle... it a very lame water cooled front engine rubuish.. nice car but not a beetle :)

i'm gald that they are using a old beetle for the new herbie flim :D :D

@ cfc1 i have thought about retro units.. but they are very expenive and theres nothing totally right so i'm thinking of makeing something myself in the winter :)

I'm glad you guys like the car as it took 4 years for me to rebuild and i'm cuffed with the results too :)
