which I still have. This was done in the late 80's. The rest of the pics are from a couple shows in Canada in 90 or 91.

Enjoy.

I think I have photos of that car from a Bug show in Calgary in the early 90s.

I would be interested in seeing them? I have had the car since the early 90's.

Sorry for the slow reply- I'll track down my photo album and see what I can find for you.

A few from the Canadian scene in the early 90s. The first 6 are from the Great Canadian Bug Show in Toronto in '91ish, the last two were from Calgary (around '93).

Love it. Louvered taillights and a plexi decklid looking into what I'm sure is a "totally sano" engine bay, white paint with black fender piping. Totally 80s. :D

A friend gave me a tip on a guy with a few vw parts. As we settled on a price for the parts I wanted he walked me over to the other side of the property and show me his 80's custom beetle he found .. I remember it from back in the day he gave me a sweet deal on it and now it's mine (for now LOL) she's dirty and has a few scrapes but gonna buff her out and clean her up and leave her just they way she is 8) I think my wife will enjoy driving this one around For awhile :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Pic as found

Pics at home

He said someone stole the decklid and dual carbs one nite (damn !!)

Do t mess with Street Wise!
If it was a 90’s-2000’s custom. It would have Daly bumpers and taillights. And Wise would have been spelled with a z.

Cool to know NJ John ... thankyou so this is an 80's custom.. that's what I was told .... I'm in the process of trying to gather as much history on this as I can so if anyone knows of this custom 80's build please please let me know I appreciate any information/ history on this.

That Krankenwagen was at our shop to get lettered. Lettering was done by Richard Mc Peak. If I remember right it was a Bob godfreys shop to get painted. it came by as a rush job to get lettered for photo shoot for one of the magazines. OMG it had some runs in it and stuff. But the next time I saw it all that stuff was totally gone.
