hey everrone, I'm paul. I've been lurking this site for awhile but haven't posted anything till now.
But here is my 61 beetle ive had for 6 years now. Its been the first car I have "built" I guess. I've swapped the motor like 6 times since ive owned it, I keep dropping valves and replacing the heads with other used heads that drop more valves but hopefully it all works out this time around. I got the heads on my 1200 rebuilt at a machine shop and they have been bueno so far. Im going to rebuild my 1600 dual port this spring and throw some NEW heads on it. Other than that I completely re did the car a few years ago, new brakes, lowered (narrowed beam 5inches up front with dropped spindles and 2 notches?? out back) did all the metal work, it was really rusty. everything basically except for cosmetics.
I got a new headliner and carpet and radio that I am going to install soon, will keep you posted. any how here are some pics from the past week...
1200 almost complete
1600 in pieces, waiting for rebuild on 56 merc work bench
just put in this cigarette lighter, drilling that hole was painful but worth it
1200 in!
