Owned for three years, spent 2 restoring her. Countless hours of elbow grease and untold $$, my little friend is
finally near completion - I have posted a short You Tube video clip of its first startup and maiden voyage...
Hope you like her - comments welcome !

Hiya Daniel,

Welcome!

I caught your video.  Your car looks a lot like my 1970 Savannah Beige Bug.  Your exterior looks 100% better than mine.  I've just found a good local painter and it looks as if I'll be using his services in the near future. 

Do you have any further interior shots of the seating/upholstery?  I'm redoing mine.

Thanks guys for the encouraging comments - perhaps doing our community a service by keeping another auto on the road !
The interior is due to be completed in he next two weeks, so i will post an updated video once the car is fully complete.
The original headlining was intact and perfect, so i have not touched it. it will get new carpet and seats re-upholstered with
TMI replacement black weave covers. cheers - daniel
