My new 1961 VW Beetle.

My new 1961 VW Beetle.

I recently bought myself a lot of work - a 1961 VW Beetle project!! The car was inherited by a lady from her father, and she and her husband does not have the knowhow to keep it going.

I bought the car for a good price, as the car has sentimental value for lady, she only wants me to restore it nicely and when it is done, she wants a spin in it.

Although this car needs a lot of work, it is quite solid and complete. Through the years some of the original parts has been replaced by some incorrect parts. I will look for the correct parts to bring it back to original.

The wheels was flat, but it kept the air in after we pumped them.

The rear lights are the incorrect ones, as they come from a 70's model. The engine is still the correct 1200 cc engine. The engine still looks quite good.

Here the new - old car is safely parked in it's new home - my garage!! I have slowly started working on the car already, and will keep you updated on the progress.

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.
