Pics of your rides?
 

You guys have any pics of your rides anywhere? I haven't bought my beetle yet, but I'm definitely going with a Type4 engine, and was looking for some other ideas.

I was originally thinking about making it look mostly stock, with the exception of disc brakes and a slight lowering, so I could really blow people away, but could be persuaded to go GL if I see the right stuff. :D

Hi,

If you are in Atl feel free to come by my place in Marietta anytime and I will show you what real disc brakes are :) Porsche style.

Going throught the junkyard yesterday Chigger kept commenting about how small and jinky most full size cars brakes were... Then looking at the 944 and Wilwood stuff when we got back to my place... There is no substitute! LOL

Once you get into the GL thing I doubt you can go back to a normal setup and like it.

... But I am a bad influence :)

Thanks! I actually did some more digging around and found all the galleries.

Here is mine

Am I correct NO_H20 that you used a front bumper on the rear and placed taillights where the turn signals would have otherwise gone?

Whatever, looks great.

Oasis, you are correct. I used a frount bumper/brackets on the rear. I hade to mod. the light assy.'s and add a lamp holder to get the amber turn lamp in them as well as the red 1157's for stop/run lights. There is also a bar of LED's for a third brake light in the back window. The fenders and deck lid where shaved (welded) bumpers where chem. striped, blasted, epoxy primed and painted.

hi
no h2o thats nice real smooth looking .

may i ask where you purchased a simple strip of leds for your 3rd brake light?

cool.

Believe it or not, I found it at AutoZone. I had to make 2 risers to mount to my speaker tray, that the two ends of the light bar mount to so it would be high enough to be seen.

A little late, but this is the link to my site.

My car has changed form a little since, between someones washing machine downloading all its contents on my roof and two people driving into my car, one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side. Not major but noticable.

craig, to get back to your question, we are finishing up the website now. as vujade said, you can find some pics in the gallery here and we will post additional on our site for the member's profile. dave is the only one with his car "done". vujade has done some mods, but is very much a work in progress. mine is at paint, but i have done a digital mock up of what it should look like. and pillow is a work in progress on his westy and still looking for the right oval. jhelgesen just joined us and we do not have pics yet, but i believe he is early in the works on his '61 rag.

so the short of the long is we may not be a lot of inspiration in pics, but we have many opinions we are prepared to share.

so when are you joining the crew?
