Hi,
Building a '67 bug, chopped, slammed & other unholy things to be done
Some pictures here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarel_wagn ... 111674664/ and one here:
67 bug.jpg
Its a ball joint front end '67 made in South Africa, a one year only model. All the later year bugs reverted back to Link pin front ends. This one with a Sun roof. The engine caught fire and is wasted.
Things to do:
Chopped
Slammed
Convert rear end to IRS from swing axle
Tilt windscreen back with more rake, chopped but front glass not cut
Move pedals, steering wheel, seats, shifter and e-brake back by 8"
Build modern custom dash
HUD display (Heads Up Display)
Rev counter and digi-dash with data logger
CAN bus wiring, not normal harness (isispower)
18" or 19" wheels
Airride suspension
Narrowed front beam
Two tone paint
ICE
The side view of the chop and raked windscreen:

Enjoy

Bought this late model Squareback mainly as parts donor for the gearbox and IRS rear.
