Here's my 65 beetle. It's a project, but is solid and has a clear title. I've started collecting some parts. I've already had some sweet hookups from dLk brothers and VW friends. I'm pretty excited.

I traded my bus for this car. It's pretty solid. Right now my plan is get it on the road and driving, then i will worry about making her purdy.

I've already clearanced the trans housing for a 12v fly wheel. I need to get a key cut for the ignition (working on it) and i'm going to run a new fuel line down the side. of this bugger. The brakes need to be gone through.

I have a new windshield and rubber and new popouts. I have almost all the lights and signals to put it back together.

Enjoy!

Thanks fellas.

I'm looking for a right rear quarter panel. If anyone knows someone cutting up a car, let me know.
