Farhaad, thats how a beetle should look. Stunning work. Still love that steering wheel...., and the gearknob, agree that could become a cottage industry. Eben has shops ready and waiting for forum members

Farhaad mind if i ask where you got your carpet set from?

You read my mind Shane

Farhaad, is that square weave or loop pile carpet ?

I dunno wether im gonna have to cover up the nice white that BUGGOFF is gonna spray the pan (when i can wake up and buy the pan halves) or leave it open to show the world and if i do close it up the last thing i want to have to put over it is a rubber mat.

why not make glass pan halves. then u can see were u going
i did not like the standard black carpet sets and its not the weave type. its actuall. a belgotex brand called color rib and the colour is bush baby. i had it cut and used matching vynil (same as the seats) as piping on the edges. ill be doing the same in the bonnet and for the loose mats

i would absolutely love to do it, but realistically i dont hav the time. will however find some time for the odd member if push comes to shove

Karmakoma ----------> shoving Farhaad

just ask

Love your ride farhaad. Well done.

looking very nice farhaad. the interior looks awesome.

Congrats Faraad. That's pretty neat. Great job!!!

took a few pics while cutting templates for the loose interior carpets and bonnet carpet





and a little something extra im hoping to fit soon, 38 weber and scat manifold

That interior is something to be proud of.

I have to admit, I'm fully annoyed with mine. The guy who did it is a cock, if I see him in a dark alley...

Do you find you kick the parcel tray when you get in and out? I think I might have to sell mine as it gets in the way, which is a pity

luckily for me im a bit on the short side so it does not affect me . i also mounted it a bit higher than standard. a few taller chaps who had parcel trays in there bugs had the same problem. if the bug is gonna be your daily ride that could get a bit annoying . thanx for the compliment. i say it again, there are good, skilled guyz out there but its a process to find them. unfortunately the process has a price tag on it

WOW! Very nicely done, brings back good memories. I grew up in a 65 that looked very much like this one
