'74 Ghetto L-Bug

[StaticG]

Hey havnt been on here for ages anyways thought id post up my next project
After 2 years sitting dormant in a blokes garage for his daughters 1st car, new fuel and battery and she fired up straight away, drove him the 30km home shooting flames the whole way back home


Apart from the missing running boards its pretty much factory stock, paint hasnt been changed in it life,the front wheel and fender gap was absolutely bullshit could nearly fir my head in there



Unfortunatly i couldnt keep the original plates omn the car as theyd been out of rego for too long , fiited up the euro plates i had on my mk1



as you may notice a greyhound fits in the rear of the bug perfectly




i took the bumpers off, mainly to polish them but i dont mind how it looks for now




Instagam photos are well legit




So i purchased some empi adjustable strut mounts and inserts, lowered it like 4 inches, still got about 3 more until im fully happy with it, then ive gotta try and figure out how to lower the rear, the torsion set up is confusing

Rolling shot, ig special



And to finish it off a nicer photo of how it sits atm
some one took at the last euro meet (cheers to them, hope they dont mind)
