Here are some pictures of my recently acquired 1965 Bug, it's my pride and joy! I only bought it three months ago after selling my '79 Guinness Panel Bus. It is my third car and third VW! My dad and me restored a '72 Bug for my first car, which was a slammed candy red cal-look! Anyway... the '65 is almost stock, the only modification being that it's lowered one turn/spline on the rear, and a few notches lower on the front adjusters, to keep the ride smooth!
The only things I had to do when I bought it were to put new TMI door cards in, and pop an EMPI roof rack on top! I've collected a few stickers too, as you can
see, most of which I got on a recent trip to the States, where I also
confirmed my love for VWs with a tribute tattoo on my leg!!! We'll be
at the shows, showing and shining through next summer, as well as
driving around Somerset every day in between!
Thanks to my girlfriend Chloe for putting up with it all, and to my
Dad who does most of the work! He's put up with a lot over the last
few years! Hope you get your bus finished soon!
