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!

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

| 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? |

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. |
