*Z3R0*'s '74 Beetle Project

Post by *Z3R0* »

Hey guys so this is my fiance's Beetle, we are pimping it out Old Skool with a bit of modern flava!
Will update the pics to where we are at the moment soon.

She was standing in a garage for 8 years without starting once, we just bought a new battery, replaced some pipes that the rats chowed & bam,
she is still running till today without any majour problems. Only replaced 1 x burnt sparkplug, and a tappet cover casket, thats it!
Running strong for about 3 years now!

Ok So started to disassemble :hangloose:

And the most awsome seats ever in a beetle haha! They come out of a bus, if we get a air tank you can adjust them up & down LoL!
