Default ***Rebuilding my VW 1303 Superbeetle***
ok guys it's your turn to help me out. Here is a pic of my recently acquired superbeetle, please feel free to do whatever you want with it (rims & paint) I need a little help & inspiration on this build (exterior). anything goes (except panel/roof chopping). Remember this is not to be "Pimped", the emphasis will be on modern engineering and true restoration, i'm not a huge fan of silly alterations.

not this coming week, but the following one, my 1303 is undergoing it's 2nd endurance test,... it's going to be alot harder than the last one which was simply maintianing a constant speed of 120km/h on the motorway in the rain from charki to ISB.

And this time i'll only have 3 backup vehicles following me

i had ordered this mirror a few months ago, shakeel (moqeems son) remembered and when they arrived i grabbed it (wanted both sides but only got one). honestly speaking the quality sucks but something is better than nothing. rear shocks are getting hard to source, i'm planing on a set of KYB gas adjustable shocks for my 1303 in the future but for now the ones i have are doing a decent job. however the ones i have on right now are by boge.


as for the rims, they are designed by EMPI for VW's made after 68 that is why i went for them. these are the only real rims on the market specifically designed for the beetle. price is undisclosed as my brother didn't take payment from me on them, rather he gave them to me as a present.

a bit better, i don't usually get sick but my dads friend died this weekend and that lead to a bit of depression as well so that added to the runny nose, coughing etc... i think my body went "down". khair, i'm back up and running (not 100% though) and am looking forward to doing some VW related stuff this weekend if possible... maybe an oil change at home, and some other TLC for the 1303 (inspired by fadees escapades in the last 2 days)

i'm still running a mild fever so lets see how that goes. as for trying that change,.. i would love to but i'm afraid of damaging either of my pulleys since they are expensive as hell (non stock). plus i only changed the belt a few weeks back (the normal way) so there is little need to do so at the moment. however i WILL try it on my thing as soon as i bring it home as i will have to change the pulleys, belts etc on that eventually.

once again, awesome video!!

I would planted a porsche 4 cyl with twin webers in there with the 911 cooler fan and custom shroud - works with the original VW tranny perfectly..
