COTNEY05'S 1303 BEETLE

i like the rear wheels a lot.... bit of a Baja look goin on... makes the front look high though? or is that just the angle of the pic?

shes not a bad un but has had alot of work to her as for the frnt end bein up a bit smigg its a bit of both i reckon.....the bks are 14s and the frnts are 15s so there is a little height difference plus im still rockin standard ride height

guess wot ive found under the rear seat.....another fuckin hole or 2 lmao ....if i dont laugh um gonna cry...goin in for the weldin tuesday

today i gave the bitch a wash and made it look spankin...terry has been busy wiv his drill polishin all the pulleys and tinware looks bang on ...got some vids and pics for you all

heres one for all u mk3 owners

lmao

video for u all

lookin good, u plugged all the holes with ur fingers n toes yet????

droppin bug of tomoz mornin on way to work to get last 3 bits of weldin done

This is coming on a treat, just needs the nose dropping a bit and the steels repainted white to match the rears. I wouldn't worry about getting fronts that match the back, I love it the way it is now.

Got to be satisfying getting it from swiss cheese to... some sort of hard cheese. I fail at this metaphor.

dat luks wel nice like matt black beetles

like em in matt black too, my old one looked like this



from what i remember the 1303's are on springs at the front so get a couple of lowered springs to get the front down, my mate used to have a 1303 and had a couple of slabs under the bonnet to get it lower as he was too tight to buy springs!! lol

have you looked on google for people who sell wellers? there not that expensive new id dont thin for the wheels only then bung a couple of part warns and and your laughin, unless you can pick up a cheap set of wheels off vzi forum??

glad you got it on the road though

cheers for all the positive comments and advice glad people like it....gonna get meself a roofrack soon as i can afford one as i want to go campin with the wife and kids...plus they look cool

roofracks do luk gud but dey r on da pricey side for a new 1 tho
