Restoration Project: '68 VW Beetle (o\ _!_ /o)

[Xulfiqar]

about the shields (cooling tin pieces) - a good panel beater will make them - Imtiaz the engine placer or even Muntazir whose building the splitty are the best people for the job, meanwhile just drop the ones you have off near Liaquatabad for powder coating them factory dull black.

the guys who powdercoat steel beds will happily do the job - Ive used them for coating exhaust sheilds for many cars

Hi everyone, sorry for not updating the thread I have been busy preparing for my upcoming papers. Anyways, the Bug is done with the denting work the painter on the other hand hasn't been picking up my calls or anyone elses.

The last time I met him was five days back, he asked me for money because he wanted to get primer and paint for the floor work after that he is currently nowhere to be found. I can't wait to get ahold of him.

Where the hell did these come from man? We have been looking like forever for our bugs and no success!!!

Dont tell me these are local!

They're universal

[murtaza_murti]

You bet its original!

I don't why but I feel it isn't, maybe it's faded from the front?

Wait till you see the one on my 70. Or better ask Asad about the one he sourced me after a million miles of hunting. The CREST is completely missing from that one!!!

So consider yourself lucky dude.

And if you still want a brand new, I suggest you contact @romano and buy one off him (if its still there) for $20.00 a piece!

No way! Wow, lucky me lol.

I would pass, maybe later.

[murtaza_murti]

Damn!!

I wish these were original.

The quality it pretty good though.

Nothing fits a VW better than an original part!

True, but anything is better than nothing. For the time being that is

Good luck with your project murti ... I will start mine as now I m stuck btw a 1303S and a restoration project so I have finance for one of the two

[muj_talpur]

how ever do tell me the parts that I might be needing is the decklid and front bonnet seal and the drain cover thing. So where did u get those ?

[AsadIshaque]

Had sourced these for this project.......Im sure just one (Nasir bhai!) or two folks here would know what these are and how important they are for an engine...
