So the first picture is mine,
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. |

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. |

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 I think my wife will enjoy driving this one around For awhile
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. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far
