Dear All,
I invite you to witness the re birth of a beauty that was first made by germans.
Now dented by shoaib at dakh khana.
The car is 1968 Volks Wagon Beetle Deluxe Mode.
Today, the project has set sail as just before arriving here at my office i dropped the pearl at denter.
Due to up coming eid, obviously he wont start working.
I will post the pics as soon as possible.
WISH ME LUCK
PLUS PLEASE POST SUGGESTIONS
I will paint it black in color as I LOVE BLACK.
I am in need of good engine overhaul, as in karachi Zareef's name comes up alot for this, but please suggest me as i want to have all options.
I need a new silencer the whole package as the car will be driven by my wife so it needs to be sober.
I want that bumper with indicators as i love the looks of it.
My elephant feet lights i need to do something with that dont know what but something.
Similarly, need crystals in the front as i am thinking to put HID's.
So for now that much , i will keep on coming.
So all you VW enthusiasts please feel free to comment

Dont get it painted. Just get it wrapped in matte black, add some decent rims, medium black tint, A pair of HID and your head turner is ready.
Just my advice

BASIT > I had the same idea about the paint i want in matte black , WHO DOES A GOOD MATTE BLACK in karachi ????
HID's A MUST but i think HID suits with crystal, so first off where would i find crystal or do i have to get them made.

Crystal headlights are readily available in shops. U just need an ordinary crytal light in round shape which is commonly used.
Wrapping can be done from Water pump, shop beside mehfooz sheermal.
They will charge u cheaper as well

One more thing u can do is cut roof short just like this:

Thanks basit, i will go for the crystal lights when time comes.
Chopping the roof ... No buddy i like it this way...
Anyway Updates for today is this that the
Car has been ripped off, the chasis is rusted, i was in shock when i saw it all.
Forgot to take pictures due to depression anyways the denter says he has seen worst hence no worries for that.
I am thinking about engine re built but i drove pearl it has quiet potential. I will look in that later.
Will post pics laters

Guys , i cannot update the thread due to reason that i am terribly busy at office. How ever my time to time trips to the beetle have been going on. As the days pass by and the body is teared open worst and worst is coming out. Just found that the beetle was hit from behind and wasn't repaired. Poor thing had awesome drive although it was tortured. Ne ways new in the market is this that i have finally got my hands on a 1303S. Currently in negotiations with the owner the car is ripped off , the dent is complete but has been standing for two years. Now i think he wants to earn something before giving it up so please pray as i want that car to get in my garage collection as well.

The pearl has been dented from the right side. The body has been completed from the right side inside out. New floor panels have been put. New side guardry and everything, today i was having discussion that what kinda engine should i put to make it a monster. I got my hands on 1800 cc block which is for a micro.
