Seats are in:

Installed some bullet mirrors. They mean absolutely nothing to be honest but the look cool

FaanP of Meyerton,.....I like what I see,.....and like it more that its done on a "budget",......
What is the latest progress?
Agree bulit mirrors look great!...but can't see swat behind you. Had the same on Haans(ghia),....just cannot see,....and if you add a teaspoonor two's age with it,..then it is worse

Hoping for some swannecks,....butso far the hint has fallen on deaf ears,....and my b-day has come and gone !

Keep it up

A friend of mine is helping me to clean up the wiring. The end of this project is getting closer.

Are you going to paint the luggage compartment? It would look good in red, and the tank black.

Why not? My beetle is not even close to standard and it was never my idea to take it back to standard.

Would like to hear why you don't like it .....

Does this not look better, and you have more space.

That does look good Herman. I think my point is I want it square and covered. My plan is to take MDF board and get it square and covered.
