Hi everyone, mainly been using TheSamba to find parts but also found lots of very useful information... Thought I'd post a few pictures of Gertie, my 1965 Beetle. We bought her in June last year off Ebay looking a bit worse for wear but over the past months she's been transformed.

This month she gets a 1600cc twin carb engine and widened original rims (6" x15"), and finally a original Golde ragtop clip to replace the dreadful Britax... then she'll be finished...!

You can check out loads of pictures and her full restoration at www.lobousland.com

Hope you like her...!
Very Happy
