This is where my 62 has been kept for the past 8 years, I have had it for about 12 years, had it resprayed at one stage and was very upset when the botched the paint job, then striped it to bare metal myself and started filling and priming, but got married and everyone knows the rest of the story. Two kids later and i am finally ready to get it completed. I took it to Mr Tommy Locke in Jhb who does amazing work, he has done a Karmann Ghia and a Cobra for my old man, excellent work. While he is painting I'll be sorting out the motor for which I have been gethering parts for just as long. Here are some pics of my solo attempt at loading it, can't believe how light these things are.

They're projects, hoping to be runners soon as he's coming to retirement and will have more time to work on them. Beetle is a '57. Oval. The're just full of dust.
