Found my stash of photos that I found on ebay a while back, taken 2 months before I bought it.



Reading the advert, a lot of stuff was different from it when I ended up with it, and the ambiguity re: the engine was in existence then.

I would love to find out more about the car, but it is a mysterious car, facts I know are as follows:
Used to be red,
Rot was repaired whilst red
Was painted blue/modified/ruined/bodged
Someone installed some of the most laughable mods ever.
was taxed in 2001
last mot 2004

The advert being as follows:

As you will see it's a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Saloon. The car was registered on 8th July 1969 as a 1200cc but now has 1500cc engine fitted.

Due to the age of this car it is Tax exempt :-)

From the pictures you will be able to see the car has Porsche alloy wheels fitted which will be sold with car.

The car was last MOT'd in 2004, it was then driven 4 or 5 miles and has sat still since then. As the car has sat for about 8 years it does have rust and will need to be welded, however to what extent is difficult to gauge when looking at car jacked up.

Mileage currently showing 25k[/url]

Wish it still had them. Porsche empi 8 wheels must be worth a fortune. Especially if genuine!

Had a closer look at stuff under the car. In a position to do the welding required for mot and sort brakes.

Have decided to just patch the hole in the wheel well. Bit excessive to change the whole wheel well for the sake of a small patch. Will replace it in the future, perhaps.

Should get the mot stuff done for a retest later next week.

Have been looking at the underside of the engine. It is missing a piece of tinware, the thermostat, another bit of tinware is damaged, there is a small oil leak. Plus could do with a service. First thing to do after the mot, and won't take it too far until after the issues sorted. Lucky my engine dolly came today! Heat exchangers not too clever either.

Just really a quick update with pictures.

WELDING done, including patching the damn side repeaters up. Not perfect but nicecenough for now.


Was bored, and bernie reminded me about something I wanted to do for a while. Notice anything different?


Finally retiring to the back yard for some headlight adjustment.

I got rid of my zoom of doom a while back too, was cool at first but I prefer the sound of the normal pipes (or would if I was at a stage to hear them :D )

It had to go. It was a bad plan whoever decided it was. Lets dechrome the car then add an enormous chrome thing to it. A neighbour asked me if it was always that loud. My dad says he could hear me coming back from the mot 5 mins before i returned. Not too much quieter but nicer sound.

It broke down on the way home. Think the coil has just died.
