Wonderbread Kustomz Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Started this on Friday... It's for a buildoff on a FB group... Ends on May 26... Rims are from the Tamiya VW Beetle with the tires from Hoppin hydros... Resin air filter trimmed to fit... Front and rear bumper holes filled in and smoothed, cut a new exhaust hole for the stinger exhaust...
always painting Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I love vw I have a 82 rabbit an I had a 87 2door jetta Wolfsburg but the person I was paying to take care of it slack3d off an it went to the scrap yard. What sucks most about that is I waited 12 years for the original onwer to sell it an 2 years after I had 8t I lost it. I just striped it down an was half way done with priming everything.

I had an 87 Jetta as well once... Gold and the interior was red crushed velvet or velour lowrider style bought it from a guy years ago... I owned it for close to a month before getting rid of it... I had an 83 Rabbit that I loved driving... I miss that car the most, this was back in the mid 90s and I had chrome day glo wipers and chrome reversed hammers...
PatW Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Great build so far keep up the good work. I look forward to the rest of the build, as an owner of 3 beetles and two others in the family over the years, YES I'm a bug fan!
