Its just a buffed out old respray. Shines up pretty nice tho. I like it. Its a fun little car. OG 40hp and sweet OG interior. Replaced front and rear window seals, added pop outs, brand new brakes, new clutch, reseal the engine and did a clean up detail job(semi gloss tins), drop spindles, 5.5 inch beam(with towers), OG 4.5s and early 6s, trouble shot all the wiring, added a 6v optima, put a new ragtop cover on, changed the bumpers for OGs, replaced a few odds and ends and there she is. Shes for sale if anyone is interested 8500 on fake earlies.
Heres how I got it.

trayle, im guessing its the beam you had on the vice when i was at your place thats in the car? if so, how tight was the fit? |

Not tight at all. I was surprised, I bent the tower more that I needed to. I had about 1/4 inch clearance on each side. _________________ the original

I like that Oval CRG. If I saw that in '89 my jaw would have dropped. Just noticed the body colored moldings. Didn't want to shave the holes? _________________ Quintin - IG @GFK602 |

I got to meet Trayle and see his ride up close this past weekend. I loved the old-school kill switch and how they integrated around the VW emblem on the hood. I havent seen one of those since the 70s or early 80s prior to car alarms when they used to put those on the front fenders of american cars. It was a trip to see one that has made it this long.... |
