I just picked up a 65 beetle and now I need some ideas on what to do to it. I am not sure if I want to make it all original or go crazy with it. I am looking for some ideas so start typing guys.

Oh yeah I will get some pictures of it up on the site within the next couple of days.

You better post some photos because as the old wise men say: "If there are no pics, it didn't happen." :D

Congrats on the car. Really ideas as to what to do to your car, has to come from you. I can tell you to lower it, that is a given. Maybe do a narrowed beam as well. Depending on the paint, keep it original. There are so many factors its hard to give ideas, but if you want to go wild there is air ride, trans lift, or 2 liter motors. Hope this helps a little. :thumbs:

Well here are some pictures of the car. I know they are not that good but its the best i could get. I didn't have a whole lot of time to work on it last night but I did manage to get the windows out of it and I started to strip the paint off the roof.
