Looks fantastic :) Good to see that all germanlook beetles aren't 1303's ;)

Beautiful beetle!

Thank you guys, your builds here inspired me a lot!

It's time for detailing:

Ignore the rubber fuel lines, braided hose with AN fittings are part of the winter project.

Love this car, such a great combination

Thanks ;)

Hopefully the last time on the trailer, arrived home today!

Nice tow rig

After 3 years, yesterday I finally drove it! Engine sounds good, brake and suspension feel ok, no oil leaks so I'm happy with it.

nice looking 1302.
back is a little too low for my taste.

She's a beauty...
Definitely a huge motivation to get my little red bug back on the street again!

Just Beautiful...

A style of build user 'vujade' coined - "Resto German".
Subtle, understated, OG in the details...
Love it!

The ride height/stance is perfect.
Rake is for Cal-Lookers.

Oh, and, can you explain the oil pressure gauge fitting?
???:confused:

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Sure :) it's temporary solution

I'm trying to keep the dash simple, so originally inteded to make a nice custom bracket for the rearview mirror and put these gauges there, similar to this:

I did the wiring too, but the wire harness seems to be too wide to make it invisible..at least need more time for that project. I wanted to drive the car ASAP and found a gauge holder in the garage that doesn't fit in the radio area. Again, I'm sure I will not put them there as I'm not a fan of the space shuttle style dashes. Will cover the hole with a c/f plate or similar and try to find a good place for the gauges. (Maybe under the dash?)

Regarding the stance the back is a tad lower than I wanted (hard to set the TB bars without the full interior). I'll see how it performs in city driving & on speed bumps than will raise a spline later if needed. But no rake at all.

I love the way it looks! As SteveC said, the color combo is excellent. Personally, I like the rear exactly as it sits. Unless it causes problems, I would probably bring the front down ever so slightly to match the rear.

Thanks! Exactly, but a proper wheel alignment should be done first. Negative camber in front should help fender clearence, so i guess it can go lower a bit.
