1972 VW Beetle
Discussion
After managing to kill my my first car, a vauxhall corsa, I needed some new wheels! Something cheap, easy to mantain. So I have got myself a 1600 twin port VW Beetle. Free road tax, £600 a year insurance (£1100 cheaper then a corsa ) so very happy!
Here is a dealer picture, I go and pick it up tomorrow. Its properly loud Much to my pleasure, not so my mum and dads
Will post loads more when I get it home tomorrow. I am just ever so slightly excited and cant wait to get it home
Thanks,
Matt

Mi matt-
seen your little corsa around northwich and in London Rd carpark. Don't know if you know my brother Alex (final year at staffs doing photography, but did his first 2 years at london rd).
Liking the look of your beetle, those wheels really suit it.

'Ringo' is home And my god its awesome. So it does need a lot doing to it and its not exactly a minter buts its mine and I love it Driving it is ace, feels awesome. Love it!
Needs a lot doing to it but hey, its a rolling project
One of the jobs is to get standard windows in the front. Tint looks a lot harsher in pictures.

Thanks guys
The gear shifter is a quick shifter! Not quite used to it so getting it in gear is interesting....
As for the plans, just general smarten up, change the front windows to stock ones with traingle piece at front and generally make it as mint as possible. Won't be getting lowered though!
As for the rear lights I don't know why there off but I don't like them, think they look dirty and unwashed so some normal stock ones are on there way

The rear lights were standard on the 1303 "super beetle", which I think yours is. The front windows might even be original too, but I'm not geeky enough to tell. The other that makes me think it's a 1303 s that the rear suspension isn't showing any camber - usually one wheel's on the piste on the swingaxle cars!
Will take a stand back and wait for a more geeky VW expert to confirm though.
