1973 std. Beetle

and I begin again... this time it's a std :D
-but still a "fatty"
this baby is super solid even the floor pans :shock: and came with all kinds of new goodies
What I have planned for this one won't be much of a surprise...... or will it :twisted:
"...on the way home"

ah yea... the local aircoolers are already making comments such as
"well get ready to stock up on some rattle can paint"
"you aren't gonna fu*k this one's paint are you"


but I'm gonna compound and wax the paint on it and once I'm done with everything... I may get it painted... this will give me time to decide if I wanna stay yellow or go with a two tone or different color ect.......

Damn, no matter how much I'm searching I can't find the website that let's you design your beetle with the color and rim options.

What's the link to the website that created the above image?

How do I save the bug I made so I can post it up on forums like you did?

Rick73Super Tue Apr 29, 2008 9:14 am

Ctrl print screen, edit out what you don't want, save on PC, save on a free hosting service like image shack, link to image

zoti Tue Apr 29, 2008 9:14 am

Hit PRINT SCREEN and then paste into an image editing software and cut.

Just won this set up on eBay(boy it was a battle) front and rear disc brakes for about the same cost as just fronts :D ... I will update with more once brakes are recieved and I begin the install

Today I sanded and painted the pans to put a stop to the surface rust till I get to the point of removing the body from the pan and coating them... The pass side was looking real rough.Nothing beats OG pans,so I wanted to be sure and save them before the rust got to be a problem.Both sides are still very solid :D

Damn, looks like you found yourself a pretty solid car.

Do it up!
