Started off with a 76 Beetle S.

Took 12 months to build after doing some serious searching for this type of bug with rounded window and 2 months aftyer completing teh project a rolled it about 10 times.
Sad but upgraded to a nice red bug completely rebuilt from someone else.

Hello, my name is Braham Laubscher, i was today at the motor show in Parow where i found out about this forum from the lady of Grand slam. I live in Stellenbosch and study mechanical engineering at Cape Peninsula University of Technology(new Cape Tech) and i drive a flippen awesome two tone 1600 beetle from 1971. I love her. She is a work in progress and needs a few things to get her back to where she was but i will slowly but surely get there. So if anyone has a beetle their stripping or has some parts for sale, let me know i will definitely be interested. So ja if anyone has any questions for me just let me know. Chrz....
