I bought a 1970 beetle yesterday. Need some spares. Want to change it eventually in a "one of a kind" beauty. Please assist :zhelp:

Welcome and why not introduce yourself in the thread as asked, then do a post on your car in the Project section, and place as many photo's as you can..We can then all chip in when we know what model you have, where you are and hopefully be able to work out what you still need.

Welcome Drphil. Just a comment on the "one of a kind" beauty you aim to create. It's your car and do with it what you please, but making a lot of changes to a classic car is not always a good thing and could decrease the desirability of said vehicle. Sorry but I had to get that off my chest!

Great,......now all we all need is some pic's of the project over the last few months. :shock:

"Going Strong" will not do for our addictions, and if there is no photo;s ... then it did not happen. :wink:

That interior looks good and original. Are you going to keep it bumper-less or are you in the market for a set?

Hi there, no the rust will be taken off to bare metal, polished and then clear coated.
