1963 VW Bug purchased in 1985 modified until 1988 (when I was 15-18) sit in storage for 15 years (sold in 2003) Saddly this was my second car, my first was a Mazda RX2, lasted 4 months or so died a quick death of overheating sorry no pictures.
^^^nice don.....my first car was an '88 rx7. love the rotary engine so much fun to drive hopefully in the future i'll pick up another one or the older brother fd.
My '69 Bug restoration that I did during sophomore to senior year of high school.
The car was 90% brand new by the time I was finished.
Car was completely gutted and rebuilt by me. Everything except the seats was replaced on the interior with all new black everything. All fenders, rims, bumpers were replaced. door windows, windshield, compeletely rewired the whole car. Custom stereo system (alpine deck, infiniti 4.5 in front custom kickpanels, and 6x9 in back tray, 10in bazooka tube behind rear seat (you could always hear me comin down the street, haha)
Custom paint inside and out, and i could go on and on...
The only thing I didn't work on was the motor because at that point (like I said last night at Boba) I decided I had invested too much money and couldn't justify dropping another 2 grand for a brand new motor... I bought my Prelude instead, then my SV650S, then my S2k... ha
ok,
photo time
Here are the before shots... ugly as hell... but, you look past that with rebuilds and find opportunity, right?
the dash was destroyed, the guy was kind of a stoner, so...
Anddddd
2 1/2 years, about $6,000 and lots of sweat and love later...
