mi escarabajo 1973 estandar / My standar käfer 1973
 

hello friends, I am restoring my 1973 vw, I hope everyone's taste!

here in Paraguay it is difficult to have a German Käfer, as in the neighboring country (Brazil) also were made Käfer, and 90% were imported from Brazil

Greetings from Paraguay

excuse my English, I use google translator

awesome dood.

yeah, sure, here in Paraguay the restoration work is harder, because this auto body accessories not easily find!

here can only be achieved accessories vw Käfer Brazilian

Very nice work! If I had your skills, I wouldn't need to be so picky about buying my next car. :thumbup:

Welcome. Looks like a nice start. Don't feel bad, most of the restoration body parts we find here in the US are from Brazil as well.
Keep the updates coming.

:)

yes, that is, but I have problems with accessories, glass and doors, but they buy them in a month would be arriving in Paraguay approximated accessories!

The Käfer already painted, just need to build, I have no photos for now! I lift more pics soon

Good to see you are still moving along with your project.

Nice looking beetle/kafer. I've been wondering why the oil cooler area on this shroud is so big. Is there a benefit in cooling?

the oil cooler is further back, so the cylinder 3 is free of hot air

thanks, here in Paraguay a hard time restoring a German Kafer, because here there are only Brazilian bodywork, and are completely different!

that is the factory doghouse shroud made in Brazil, hot air exits through a round output to a hose , unlike the german/chinese doghouse which is rectangular

The original consists of 3 parts, I have saved much rust, so I put the Brazilian, but the engine is German!

excuse my English :D

I ended up being a classic käfer, I can go up as more photos???

Photos please.
