History

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 1998 IN A VERY BAD CONDITION FROM A FARM IN WETHERILL PARK NSW.
THE SAD PART IS THAT IT WAS DRIVEN AROUND THE FARM AS A VEHICLE THEY COULD NOT DESTROY
NOT MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRIED.
AT THAT TIME I WAS QUOTED 8000 DOLLARS TO RESTORE THE BODY ALONE.
AFTER TWO YEARS THE PANEL BEATER RANG ME TO TELL ME IT GOING TO START ON IT.
ONE YEAR LATER AND 10 000 DOLLARS THE BODY WAS COMPLETED .
ON TOP OF ALL THAT I SPENT ANOTHER 5 000 DOLLARS TO PUT IT ON THE ROAD.
IF WE LOOK AT ALL THE MONEY THAT WAS SPENT ON THIS CAR I AM SURE THE MAYORITY OF PEOPLE
WILL CALL ME CRAZY, BUT AS A BEETLE LOVER IT WAS ALWAYS MY DREAM TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS
AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE.

Modifications

THE HOLE BODY WAS PANEL BEATED AND REPAIRED .
IT WAS PAINTED IN GREEN METALLIC GREEN .
ALL BRAKES HOUSES AND MASTER CILINDER WERE REPLACED.
NEW TYRES , HEAD LIGHTS , ENGINE MOUNT, AND EXHAUST SYSTEM REPLACED.
NEW CLUTCH , STARTER MOTOR AND WHEEL BEARINGS.
