this is chucky my '74 1300tp (PO says PPO siad that its a 1500,its not at all slugish so might be???). I have had chucky for 2 weeks now, bought him in benoni for 5k spent R500 on a set of bougi cords and new master cylinder and fixed the brakes right then and there and put on a spare front bumper i had at home(PO even helped me bleed the brakes....) and she purred like a new car...PO wasnt impressed with himself, o well his loss...got in to go fill her up and drive home to durban, and stood without petrol just down the road. got some petrol and away i was and,well.......scared as
...didnt know the car and now going to travel 600 odd k's with it...needles to say she never gave any problems, ive forgotten what good CARS they are its been 4 years since i drove a proper beetle...got her home and started to give him some TLC for these past 2 weeks and this is the result for only a mere R900 (550 for paint and stuff and 400 for new angel eye lights) later and some elbowgrease....its notperfect by a long shot ,will have it resprayed oneday by pros but for 6 odd k beetle it looks decent enough... 
so this is how chucky looked when we met (follwed by after pics) disformed and angry just like chucky the demon doll...
testing to see how the new lights look
will be driving up on friday to pta so will if all goes well be at ferdi's with him...i need to find a hubcap...mine fell off in majuba pass while coming down in the intial trip
later
