Just wanted to share some pics of my 68 beetle that originally came from California. Has a lousy paint job on it but that will be getting addressed soon enough. So far I've added a Ron Lummus Racing 4'inch narrowed beam CB performance complete front and rear disc brake kit with lowering spindles. And the Fuchs done by Hans. Many plans still in store for this bug. I love driving it!

Looks awesome. I have a 68 as well. Hope to get mine close to what yours looks like some day!

Very nice looking bug!
I drive a Lotus White -68 with Fuchs, so I think the look of yours is spot on! :D

Thanks! I love the Lotus White and will keep it that color when I repaint it in the future.

Really impressive! Cream colored running board mats and shaved front blinkers looked good even with the stock wheels. Will your plans include installing a "2387cc" engine per your sig name? :D

Looks great, dude! I love the red interior!

I just picked up a 68/70 mutt last month myself. Similar color, mostly. I'm next town over...

Cool man we'll have to link up sometime. I have some parts for sale that you might be interested in like a CB performance 2'narrowed beam and lowering spindles.

Hahaha for real though you'd have to see it in person. Well my brother did buff it out for me and made it look more presentable...
