Had to redo the bottom end of the back because it was too low and kept hitting speed bumps...gave it a little lip on it this time..

BugPimpin_74's 1974 Volkswagen Beetle This right here is a pure example of pimpness LOL I had designed this car about 2 1/2 years ago and finally here it is. Now that i can do all the work to it myself Ive saved enough money to fix it up this way. In about 5 years Ive spent $16,000 on this car. In the first 2 years most was on repairs. Just a reminder for all you other show boaters out there.. I use this car everyday its not a storage car! If u got it why hide it?
*disclaimer* he he
I'm not being cocky or anything on these pages but I hear too many things that annoy me. I built this car the way "I" like it!! All the ideas you see are MY ideas so if you copy them dont say you did it! Give me some credit!!

BugPimpin_74's 1974 Volkswagen Beetle Heres the back end....
Stats:
Body: Pt Cruiser front body kit/New beetle altezza's/Rear skirts were custom designed/ Ram air hood custom designed/ Side graphics (my design) and for all you copy cats out there HERE in SAN ANTONIO I started CHROME graphics I have hundreds of people to back me up on that!!!
Interior: 8 speaker system controlled by a pioneer deck and earthquake amp. I also have a tv screen with a DVD player and game cube installed. Plexi-glass door panels with neon lites behind them. Strobes up front and neon lites under the car all the way around!
BugPimpin_74's 1974 Volkswagen BeetleOk the engine is in the back but u cant tell me it doesnt look sweet with ram air =b its fake anyways so no air gets in the hood

BugPimpin_74's 1974 Volkswagen Beetle *Updated* Just took out my back seats and custom built an interior...It now has one seat...You can also notice the speakers are missing....Well I accidentally blew them and blew them baddd..Newer pics of interior on page 5

BugPimpin_74's 1974 Volkswagen BeetleLast but not least this is what my engine looks like when i keep it clean. Its kinda hard to keep a beetle engine clean as ne one who owns one knows!

Hey, she is a beauty, check out my karmann ghia sometime, I was wondering what size alternator are you using for your bug, because I am currently running 8 polk speakers, a dvd player and a air ride suspension all on a generator and I need to know what alternator I should buy to run all my electronics.
