BRINGING BACK SOME OLD SCHOOL LOVE!!

 74 BUG

So i have decided to post something very close to my heart...
My very own Volkswagen Beetle 1974






 When i got this baby,it was really in bad shape...the engine was pulled out by the previous owner and split open in two for who knows what reason because everything seemed absolutely fine when you look at the engine.
Being in a rush to get this one on the road, we just scraped some cash together got a second hand complete motor and gearbox for next to nothing...
We fitted the new 1303 engine but then had some carburetor problems. We then switched out the standard beetle carburetor that was on the engine with a Mk1 VW Golf carburetor and there we go!!








 Looking for a  laid back look for the Bug i ordered the much loved eye lids from a online shop that specializes in Volkswagen part...believe me, those eyes look really good on a Bug.
   
For the future the team suggested that the Bug be fitted with an adjustable beam in front 
for a much lower look and maybe lower it at the back also.

Its still a work in progress,but that doesn't mean it will be rushed.
We all want our pride and joys to be the most admired by others, so why not do a 100% good job at it one time?

A follow up will be posted in the future to keep you all up to speed on this Bug's Life.
