My Beetle has been running quite fine after the new 1500cc engine. Now it definately needs its interior and exterior to be worked upon, sadly I don't get enough time therefore the project is being delayed and delayed. Currently I'm focusing on mechanical side rather than just looks, next step is to get a brand new battery, starter motor, air-filter, curburettor (looking for a good one), and tyres etc.
Last month, I did some D.I.Ys which I love doing it, painters can't give the satisfactory results so whenever I get time, I like to get my hands dirty.
Here are some snapshot of my last D.I.Y. Cleaning and Re-painting the Fuel Tank

Checking the detail... Its important while doing yourself.
Scraping out the rust completely.
