Hey everyone. I have been on here for a while but recently i bought another vw. Its a 65 that was all original when i got it but much has changed with in the past 4 months. It has a 1600 in it rite now but that will change once funds are up to par. It has a 4" beam on it with the stock steelies with the chrome center caps, also to change. I have alot in store for this thing so be on the look out. The plans are a full pan off resto. I will be building a bigger motor that will be turbo, a pro street tranny, erco's on slicks, full role cage with factory brown interior, with diamond green as the paint choice. Body mods will include shaved trim to make it look like a standard, croch coolers grafted, and semaphores grafted on the quarter behind the doors like the early verts, and possibly rhd and a ragtop clip.

Good thing you didnt call the cops as you would be the one with the ticket. Gotta leave some space.

I have been rear ended twice in the scenario you just said. Both times someone stopped as soon as the light turned yellow, both times I stopped without hitting them and both times I got rear ended. Also, both times the person who hit me got the tickets and insurance payed up.
