67 Beetle Build !

[Authentic Standards]

Hey guys my names Tom wanted to start a thread on the new build im starting. So it’s a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle Type 1
Its pretty much all original other than a bad respray back in the 90’s that is also the last time it was on the road and before that the one owner always garaged kept it so it has very little rust only spot is a small area in the rear section of the pan. so here we go obvious plans being posting this on stance works is getting it sitting low other than that semi-restore it and get it back to the original zenith Blue color.

The day I got it








The original 1500cc aircooled 4cyl with some new gas and a battery it fired right up after being in a barn for over 17 years

some progress on the rear floor pan where most of the rust is first had to rip out the old carpet and scrape up the tar board off the floor pan. i have new pan sections coming this week so that will get taken care of.

lil before and after of the seats still need to take the heat gun to the vinyl to get all the wrinkles out but night and day difference
Also managed to get 1967 NY plates for it from a guy that i work with that had them on his 67 back in the day


some more work did a full tuneup Coil, Distributer, Wires, Plugs, Carb Rebuild


and a quick roller shot by my friend heading home from VW Show And Go

Sweet man, That looks good. How are you dropping it? Narrowing the beam at all?
