1963 VW Beetle (Beater as we call it ) Restoration Project

[syedmfarooq]

he mentioned it here

Bumpers were in very bad condition so i ordered new one and till they arrive i decided to cover the old ones with truck art so that car is safe from possible hitting. Wiring was started and all front and rear blinkers along with headlights and dome light are installed.

On their way to Pakistan !

makes sense!

[ansarghani]

Just wow masha Allah!
How difficult (or expensive) it is to import spares from abroad?

[syedalinaqi]

I collected all the parts well before i started restoration and used to bring them in my suitcase when ever going abroad.

If u want to import directly to Pakistan then its expensive as u will have to pay customs, duty etc which is i guess 65% of the invoice value including shipping. Also shipping to Pakistan is hell expensive.
