Hey folks :) this is my little beetle my moms had since i was little, my mom has not maintained it much atall thru the years and i'v made it my project to fix it.

Known issues:

  • dead battery (5.3V, supose to be 13.5)
  • Fried Dynamo
  • Fried Dynamo Cables
  • Choke
  • Carburator issues
  • Late Ignition Timing
  • Deffect Caliper left front
  • Gear Oil Leak
  • Engien Leak
  • Slow/Hard window right side
  • Lights and Radio/stereo turns on even tho the ignition isnt on
  • Too much fuel in the system, dosent get enough air
  • Wrong size Air Filter

Apperence Modifications:

  • Candy Paint
  • Triangle Wings/Steping boards
  • Slammed/Lowride

Future Modifications i want to do:

  • Make it more like a Hot Rod insted of a Roadster
  • re-paint (has overheated in the back, causing massive cracks and disscolouration wich isnt ideal for when i wanna bring it to shows)
  • new & improved exhaust for maximal sound (Exhaust competitions)
  • switch the black soft top/Cabriolet for a white leather one (posibly white or black and white cow hide patterned)
  • Change all rusted apperence parts (example; the headlight caps, door handles, exhaust pipes and mirrors)

Recent Fixes:

  • new wheele bearings
  • new brakes all wheeles
  • new wheele sylinders
  • new serpentine belt
  • new dynamo (not put in yet but has arived)
  • new parking brake
  • carburator timing (not done)
