Also getting all the parts together that I still need.
Always believed that one should have all the parts ready when doing a project, else it will die due to delays.
Still waiting for the Carb. kit, and the 6v starter, then we should have it all.
Been thinking......... should do a DOUBLE resto, with both beetles at the same time.
Now I hear a mumble that the brown beetle looks fine, but I am not Happy with it.
Want all my Aircooleds to be to the standard of the Fastback.
Your comments would be appreciated, but here is my thinking.
As the Oval is more Scarce, it should be restored to NEAR Original, and all the non-standard parts fitted into the Brown 59.
The only NON-STANDARD on the Oval will be the Paint job, as this can be changed any time again in the future.
The 59 will be changed from its drab brown colour, to something fun, and have the 1600 motor, easy seats, disk brakes, and ... and... but still in keeping of a standard VW.
Well that the plan, for now,
Herman
paint work has come to a fore, rust popping out all over, this is a FULL RESTO.
down to the skin, and scrub off the filth and invest in a fine quality coat.
It will be great to share experiences! 
and an grinding day on the bell-housing followed.
