Took over this project from my dad, he started it about 10 years ago but never had the time to finish it, now the only question is...... what will I do to it??? :roll:

Cool ! What needs to be done to it, have you got all the bits and pieces, keeping it the same colour ?

Could quite posibly be, I've been told that before which leaves me wondering what to do with it, restore or trick?? :roll:

I need some bits & pieces but I'll have to take stock still, if I'm trickin it out I wont need many of the original stuff like the left rear window at the moment, I have the bumpers, headlights & trim, and so on, have to decide what I'm going to do still :)

Have come to a decision mainly due to my boy's influence, we're gonna TRICK it :hangloose: He's so in love with the tricked Beetle that we decided it would be good to hang around in two tricked card, he's only 14 now so we've got some time on our hands, they'll both be turbo'ed of course and I'm looking forward cruizing around with my son in cars that we both love, even though they're not restored, but anyway, he was inspired by Driftz's Baked Bean and we'll be trying to do as good a job he did.
