Owning a couple of classic VW's, I decided that although my Beetle (Michelle) is slowly getting there with the restoration/customisation, I wanted to start going to the meets and shows. So it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.
After a search on the VW forums, I found this stock '99 (crossover) 3 door with dodgy bodywork (rear bumper bumped, front wing mashed and lacquer peel all over).
It was never intended to be a daily, although as my current daily is having a couple of engine issues, you never know.
So, the plans;
- Strip and underseal
- Full engine service (its a 1000cc so never going to set any speed records)
- Replace the N/S/F wing
- Replace the rear bumper (possibly fix) and smooth
- Remove the badges on the rear and smooth boot
- Move number plate to rear bumper (and number plate lights)
- Black roof
- Rustolium paint the car
- 14" banded steels
- Subtle sticker bomb in the interior
- Tint rear windows
- Coil overs
- Clear side repeaters
The car has been claimed by my 5 year old, she wants to help me fix it up.
