My
1963 VW Beetle
Convertible project Bought this stranded project in Belgium. |
|
| When I bought my other 1964 convertible in 2004, I came in contact with Peter (firefighter) from Belgium. He started working on a 1963 convertible in the same period. Due to circumstances the 1963 convertible came on the market in july 2008. I didn't hesitate and bought it from him. Now our 1970 bus and the works on our house are finished (if you ever get done...), this project is next! | |

| Lots of the N.O.S and special parts I have collected in the last years will be used in completing this convertible. | ||||

2010, our bus is finished and the convertible is next! Mai 2011 and there has not been done that much... :) August 2011, the chassis is ready for the pre-build, body welding and testfitting all the body parts. Got myself a nice set of steel Porsche wheels and front diskbrake setup with lowered spindles. Cleaned up the fire wall, smoothened the new rockers and found a nice oldscool TDE aircleaner set at the Bad Camberg show. |
