Some pics of my car which is now close to completion. I haven't posted in a while so here's the latest updates. I had the car repainted back to the original L50B Diamond Blue color.

On the exterior the stock wheels were replaced with modern style polished Rivieras and the front tires were replaced with Nankang 145 R15s to prevent the tires from rubbing inside the fenders. The rear window and quarter windows have been tinted and the running boards have been replaced.

The steering wheel has been restored and repainted and I added a flower vase with a plush flower like the New Beetles have.

The interior was replaced with a TMI kit to keep the original look, only changes were from the basketweave pattern to a smooth vinyl.

Headliner, windlace, and all interior parts were also changed from white to black, dash pad was replaced and all window rubber, scrapers, etc were also replaced.

The rear bumper has been rechromed and I added the Automatic Stickshift emblem.
