Say Hi to the new GL project!!
After 12 hours of driving total she has arrived home, my new 1973 Super Beetle Sedan. When i got there i knew what to expect but not this much. Not only is she rust free and fully intact...she runs too!!!! $500 well spent i must say. All doors open smooth, windows roll up and down easily and all lights are in working order...the engine could use a slight tune up ( been non op for 3 years) but other than that she is awesome. I just need to have some time to rip off all bad parts and replace them with new ones, like fenders, door panels, etc, simple things really.
ENJOY the pics

The plans for it are make it a daily driver, stock engine for a while because i want it to sip on gas during these high gas price times. Of course it will get some nice disc brakes, blacked out trim, all interior will be black, Maxx Struts, and 17 inch Porsche Cup wheels or twisties i am not 100% yet but heres what i want it to look like in the end.

Brian,
looks like a nice solid base car :-) You think you have high fuel prices? We are about to hit £1/litre in the UK.. Jeff, Start a new thread, it will be a long one! What plans for the ecotec, will it fit under the decklid? paint? are those wheels on properly? brakes? Looks like it has a bright future! Rich

I agree looks great.. Did you get the bumpers powdercoated? or just painted?
I like the look of those wheels tho!

lookin good Brian. Jazz Blue rocks. as info for others, they have used it on the R32's (A4) and i think some GTIs. just a stunning color. i had a Plymouth Grabber Blue bug when i was a kid (circa 1984). a little lighter shade. it is still on the CCC site if you can believe it. expect plenty of attention.
