I _love_ the idea of a convertible bug.
Looks like a lot of fun.

[SaturnVUEguy]

Looks great, and I want to see more of this project! I've kinda always wanted a bug to fool around with

[meenaggie]

Gotta leave the front fenders off to give it that open wheel roadster look.

I wish people would quit posting bug pics.:drool: Thats all I messed with 15 years ago. I found myself pricing them on craigslist the other day :guilty:

[Chirp08]

I'll be watching this one

Im sure you've heard of it, but I'll post it for those that have not. If this kinda thing floats your boat, head over to www.germanlook.com and check these cars out. It's flat amazing what these cars can do, and it's every bit as pro-touring as what we're into. I welcome them.

64's are VERY hard to find -- thank Disney and all the Herbie Movies ... 64's got smashed and crushed by the hundreds. I think the Lindsay Lohan flick is responsible for 50 deaths alone.

Incidentally -- what are the hoses and fittings on your tranny?
