My 72 Standard
I figured Id share some pictures of my bug,there kind of old but at least youd get the idea of what my bug looks like :D
My pics are kind of big so if you got Dial up DONT CLICK THE LINK! unless you wanna wait till it loads up:laugh: This is how it looked when I got it http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/4...lefrontuu3.jpg side view http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/9...tlesideiv9.jpg the changes of the bug http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/3...beetle2kf6.jpg http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/3...beetle3wz7.jpg This was when me and my dad were putting headliner in it, hints the clothespins http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8...beetle4yp8.jpg http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/7580/72beetlehi1.jpg Oh yeah a headliner in a bug is a pita to put in, took us almost a full day(noobs) http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7...beetle5tf9.jpg some stuff i bought at a swap meet when i first got the bug lol http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7...beetle5tf9.jpg yes its EMPI i diddnt know empi was bad :( This is what it looks like so far, it has Tbars on the front as a update now lol I got a hood in the garage, my dads friend replaced the rust spots on the hood(vent area) with new metal so my hood is ready for paint. http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/9...beetle8tw3.jpg hood isnt on it yet though.I got a 1600cc a few months ago for 400 bucks, was professionally rebuilt and the guy didnt use it, instead he got a 1835cc for his ride.I paid 500 bucks for my car, only real rust was in the hood and the hole i made on the floor where the battery goes...i put my foot through it, didnt know it was weak , least i didnt have carpet in it and the battery there lol:D What ya guys think? I dont think it classifies as german look or cal look but...whatever lol |
Nice. :) It looks good. It may not be a Germanlooker, but it's all good.
I also have a '72 standard. It's not GL, it's not even close. It is a reliable daily driver though. It has one Very good 1600 DP and it's lowered in the front. Other than that, it's mostly stock. |
thanks for the coments its my first vw, I was first into the jap imports, the black car is mine also:laugh:
|
I know I have a thread about wheels already, but what rims(being the pics are here) would you put on my bug if you owned it with this 2 tone?
|
For that old fashioned look i'd go empi 8's or brm's...

And 8 spokes everyone uses and the 4 lug BRM's I dont think would look right, unless you can photoshop some chrome ones on?I was thinking of the stock chrome rims.Found a site that sales 15x7 and 15x8's in them.They have the stock offset too, but Id have to run wider fenders in the rear which I dont mind. |

Sorry, I meant that for the bi-color paint scheme. You're right everyone rolls on EMPI 8's, and that's enough to discard them. And i think they sell chrome brm replicas, but i'm not quite sure. What about some chrome fuchs?, they'd sure look nice, specially if you're into chrome rims. |
im not really into chrome rims that much,no im not picky :laugh: it just seems to be the only color besides silver that looks right.And you didnt have to say you was sorry, I knew what you meant by old fashioned.my dad calls it Decko, where we are trying to mix old school with new school:D
|
Well you're right, i don't really like painted wheels, they are just rice to me.
That's an interesting style, makes sense to have a classic looking car with newer details. |
Yeah when he told me the idea I was like huh? Whats Decko? He said its where old schools mixed in new school, but now I'm looking at rims and theres not a whole lot that look right, I was looking at the german look bugs and the rims they use wouldnt look right I dont think, but I think I got my mind set on these.
These for the front http://www.jbugs.com/store/merchant....gory_Code=1278 These for the rear http://www.jbugs.com/store/merchant....gory_Code=1278 Kind of new school I think. |
Ok, for my bug I need to buy stock window kits for my doors, anyone know any sites besides the ones I have looked at.When I get my windows in I can finally get the inside ready for my interior.Ive looked at sites , Jbug has a kit but I dont need new door handles an the other things that I have thats in there kit for 210.00.
I just need the basics, window scraper,trim, and other little ods and ends. |
AS i said on the other post, check www.cip1.com they have pretty much anything in there
|
I checked them already,they got a 1 piece kit,but I want the stock kit, jbugs has the kit i need but half the stuff they put in the kit I dont need which is why its 210.00 for brazilian and 240.00 for german quality, and thats not with shipping.most performance sites seem to sell 1 piece though :(
