Hello everyone, I have to say that I have drawn a lot of enthusiasm and inspiration from this site and member's rides. After all my Australian 1963 beetle (68 pan) was originally destined for the cal-look treatment...until I talked myself into selling the Fuchs for some 17in wheels!
I have detailed pretty much every step of the project progress thus far. A brief synopsis is:
S/A B/J pan with 63 hardtop body converted into ragtop (Golde)
Rebuilt s/a g'box 3.88r/p heavy duty side plate, super diff
4 point rollcage, minor dash mods
Type IV 2L upright converted engine, custom fanshroud paintwork custom exhaust
4 wheel CB Perf discs
Won't bore you with any more detail, just thought maybe someone may draw some ideas/inspiration from the rebuild as I have done with members cars in the past. Still fair bit of work to do but hopefully the painful part of the project is over.
