The 1972 Beetle AKA The B*tch

white

Ye white, or a bright grey. It also depends on what budget you're playing, but keep in mind that white-walls would lift the car in more then a few levels.

I was messing around on that bugselecta game playing with wheel colours and tyres and it looks like white wheels look better, also the problem with tyres aside from price is that it wasn't the easiest finding the front tyres and I don't think it would be easy finding whitewalls in that size. Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it

Needs white walls. Then it could be a creamsicle. lol

A creamsicle? I don't even know what that is haha I'll maybe eventually look at getting whitewalls but I doubt it, it isn't possible to get whitewalls in 145/65

quick update, bought a bar tap handle as a shift knob, however its hollow and wider than the gearstick its self, any ideas anyone?

[mart1n95]

So I decided to take care of my rediculous carpets, they were horrendous.

[oprahhwinfreyy]

good progress. you could two tone the wheels. or put some portawalls on

A small update:
I passed my driving test on Monday, third time around so I was delighted to finally be able to drive the car I had spent so much time on.

And then today was a really sh*t day. We only got 1 key with the car and when locking my door it snapped. So anyone that has experienced this will know how gutting it is. I put the handle to the locksmith and he said that the key wasn't in the lock, but we actually took the handle apart and got the key out. So its an overnight wait for the glue to dry while my car is stuck in my collage car park.

Now that is gutting about the key!

That rear camber..... Wow.

Looks really good pal, not keen on the stickers as the others have said...and the subs, in my opinion ruins the 'retro-ness' of the car. Buuuut, who am I to judge? It's your car, you can just blame your youth haha.
What like is the roads up in Thurso by the way? Me and the girlfriend are heading up that way in a couple of months!

Yeah it was not a good day haha the roads up here are truly horrible horrible, at the height pictured the front beam was scraping and banging on all the holes so I had to raise it a bit!
I like buying stickers because they give people a laugh haha and I like my music so I had to get some subs too, but the engine sounds nice enough to have no music playing! What are you up for mate?

[daniel93]

Like I said it's your car your choices! Haha. Must admit the first time I seen granny's nipples sticker I had a serious chuckle haha.

And just a weekend mate, furthest north I've been is Inverness for a rugby match! Always wanted to go further. Bit gay but me and my girlfriend love scenery. Been told it's nice on the way up so that's the reason haha

Not much of an update, I got a new interior light as the other one wasn't looking great and didn't work, however the new one was poor repro quality and the two prongs broke as I was putting the crimps on which led to the light being constantly on as I had to solder the connections, but I have fitted an old switch I had which is pretty cool as it runs with the car
Old:

New:

And the cool little switch!

I also just bought £50 worth of cleaning/polishing stuff to try and get a shine on the panels I painted.

[mart1n95]

I put in one of my recaro seats that I had bought, not sure if I like how it feels, feels more racey if that makes sense, anyhow what do you guys think? Keep it old school?
