Hey guys this is the first car I bought and have been trying to restore it for the past five years. After seeing a few German lookers on Hot Vws, with the kamei spoilers, carbon fiber running boards/ door panels, porsche cup rims, and type 4 engines with a 911 fan conversion kits. Made me want to redo my super beetle.
This is what it looked like before: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...1.jpg~original |
Since then I Lowered the stance and upgraded the suspension with Maxx struts.

While at work I seen a Bmw M3 with green Volks racing rims....that got me thinking and thought that color scheme would look unique and Awesome. So I sent my wheels to get powder coated GREEN.

I decided to fiberglass my dash board since it had many weather cracks, It was kind of an eye sore to look at while driving. I scrapped most of the vinyl off and applied the fiberglass.
after applying the fiberglass http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...5.jpg~original I let the fiberglass cure for a day before sanding it smooth. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...6.jpg~original Once it was silky smooth I applied two coats of primer. I wasn't able to find the picture of it primered. But here I am applying the first coat of satin black. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...9.jpg~original |
The finish product of the dash.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...9.jpg~original It came out better then I expected :D I also bought an NRG quick release hub from a friend of mine and a new steering wheel. And I almost forgot to mention a new Tach. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...1.jpg~original http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...8.jpg~original |
Looks like it came out nice.

yeah thanks! everyone keeps asking where I got my dash :lmao:
I also got an idea on a third brake light incorporated into the bumper by using a 67 reverse light.( my dog wanted to be in the picture) :D http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...3.jpg~original Here it is at night with my HID's http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...2.jpg~original I got a 1.7 914 longblock going to tear it down and rebuild it with 96 p/c and bigger vavles within the next few months. And got a LA performance Horizontal fan shroud http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...9.jpg~original http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...7.jpg~original a couple of weeks after receiving the Fan shroud, I purchased a 11 blade fan and alternator for a very cheap price. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...9.jpg~original |
