ok here mine... only being 17 dont have many, well only two.

first ones my 1965 beetle got when i was 14 its all orignal, sun roof etc. thats sat in the barn in bits. got all the new metal for it but only changed the floors so far..

second one i managed to buy when i was 16 after buying and selling a few cars. didnt keep it for long tho got bored, wanted an older one and i'd all ready found the bay which i bought at 17.

much happier with this one.

How about an 'Other VW's you almost own' thread?...

This orange 914 was for sale for a very good price a few months ago. Rust free, and only in need of little attention. I went to go and have a look at it, and told the owner I'm taking it. Decided to 'sleep over it' and woke up the next morning with my mind changed. Phoned up a good friend of mine, Armand (IMPI), the guy in the picture, told him about it and then he bought it immediately.

I still have mixed feelings about this car , but I know that if I indeed bought it, I would have never got my '71 Sunroof EB, and after all there is also still an SP2 restoration project waiting for me.... :wink:

But I will get a 914... some day!

here is my single cab that i am restoring at the mo, this is going to be a show bus/ buisiness truck as setting my own buisiness up making wiring looms up for Bays....Splits....Bugs....etc.... to original spec or customer spec using vw colours but using modern thin wall cable which carrys more current than the old PVC cable....

here is the wifes ride that i am nearly finished rebuiling..

and herbies engine..

That engine looks the bomb 8) :wink:

 

[58herbie]

Thanks gninnam have moved the fuel filter up front now as fitted a leccie fuel Pump and reg as manual was not strong enough for the twin 40's, was a squeeze gettin engine in there but is the finishing part to the project though, should be hitting shows next year to sit by the real thing that belongs to good friend Luke @ Terrys Beetles as his was the car i based it on as it was the only Herbie to have the 356 engine fitted originally back in '69 by the Empi boys.

Don't own another VW, but thought i'd post up some pics of my first that i've just scanned.

Purchased when i was 17 so the first pic late summer 1990.

Paid £500 with no tax/Mot and needing a fair bit of welding to the chasis. At the time didn't really know a great deal about the types of different Beetle model's.

Fitted some lowered springs at the front, de-chromed etc...and me and my step dad painted it over a weekend.

The things you do but i remember driving around with a couple of bags of sand under the bonnet to get down even lower and it also shifted with the 1600cc engine, and you would always lose the back end going round corners.

It was a shit box but fantastic. Never tried to find out if still on the road as would be very suprised.

Never trust a picture.

It was painted outside in the garden and very rough in places.
Also had an engine fire at a later stage :lol:

Looks like it bit the dust in 1995 - just about the same time as my first bug did!
