Well, after a bunch of bum leads and over priced P.O.S's I've finally got my self a aircooled!!! I really wanted a bug, but I couldn't turn this one down....60 Euro spec Ghia. It looks rough, but it's solid as a rock, the worst rust is on the outter rockers. I haven't peeled any of the PO's stickers or anything off it yet, but I'll personalize it my own way. I added the rabbit ears from my 70's lowrider, I couldn't resist :wink:

Plans are to get rid of those wide ass slotted rims and get some smoothies powder coated black. Then probably take a few more inches out of the front end this winter while she's in hibernation. I'll make it my own, but there's no real plans to do any body work...it just looks tough as hell as is!!!!
















Those "VW" side pockets sold me
