Rust is not a Crime

Years ago I learned how to repair and paint cars when I was in school. I wanted to rebuild my own car, with my own hands, so I started looking for a project. After searching for a long time I found this 1975 Beetle. The car was on the road but was fully covered in rust! By the way, "Rust is not a 
crime!"

First of all I stripped the whole car down. Then I did all of the mechanical. The 1300cc engine was totally rebuilt and fully chromed.The brake system is new and front disc brakes are now installed.I lowered the car in the front with a 5" narrowed beam and drop spindles.

The rear suspension is also lowered. BRM wheels were added with 145/60/15's on the front and 185/65/15's on the rear with Redline tires for detail. After that the body was restored and painted, now that was a lots of work!

Over the years I added a lot of extras. Which you can see in the results that have taken seventeen years to complete! My next project would be a split van!

Greets and have air-cooled fun!
