History
Bought this bug 6 months ago after a long search.
It is a numbers matching Australian Import, still has original motor.
Iam the 3rd owner of this bug.
The bug was quite a good state, pans good, minimal rust, heater channels good, paint work really bad.
90% of the car intact.
Previous owner being a young lad, botched the car up, the original had the bug till 2010.
Having decided that, i am doing a full body of restoration. FUN TIMES
Modifications
The beetle was imported as a pearl white standard edition in late 1962.
Between 2010-2013 it was badly painted burgundy.
The beetle is going to be transformed to a Deluxe Model with a 2 fold sliding ragtop in black.
Am going to keep it stock original look with the exception that it will be lowered by about 2.5- 3.0 inches
