Thanks for checking out my page, hope you all like it. Im 17 and this is my first car. Ive done pretty much all the work on it to get it looking like it does, so I hope you all enjoy it.
Oh, And dont forget to SIGN MY GUESTBOOK.. thanks

My dad bought the bug in Dec 2001, and in 2002 he stupidly managed to drop it into a ditch, leaving the front and rear end a mess. After many hours of persuasion i convinced my dad to let me have the bug, and to let me rebuild it (to his expence of course!).
I spent about 6 months racing to finnish it, in time for me to get my license and drive (which didnt work out anyway!! but I am driving now). Anyway, here are some pictures taken over the 6 months.

EnglishDude's 1965 Volkswagen Beetle First thing's first, I dropped the engine out, stripped it to the long block, and resprayed the tinware ready for rebuilding.

Looks really good. I always enjoy seeing what others have done on their own vs. dropping wads of cash just to have it done. Great job and keep up the postings. 5-star.
