here is my new aircooled toy i got some money from my nan so instead of wasting it i thought i would buy a beetle with it Wink

it started life as a 67, 1500 so disks at the front but four stud wheels

it now has a 1641 with twin solexes and a stainless exhaust Cool

it needs plenty of work but i'm gonna do a rolling resto a bit at a time
