Thanks!
The car is in its original state. It was featured on oldbug.com sometime back.

Where is everyone??
This post has been going dry for a few days....

@romano, that split has disappeared, and no one seems to know who took it.

i'm home sick so no updates on my 1303,.. or any other beetles.

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2007-12-01 08:27:00 +0500 #1264

@Storm, is your car home yet? Heard its been raining there...

Storm (Storm) 2007-12-01 09:02:00 +0500 #1265

nope, 1303 is still at the mechanic, will be home before 2008 though,.. errr i hope.

romano (romano) 2007-12-01 09:06:00 +0500 #1266

Something not quite right here...why is this 1303 taking soooo long to fix? Can we help in any way?

Storm (Storm) 2007-12-01 09:12:00 +0500 #1267

@romano
no real reason. i make them stop in between so i can make changes etc and have a bit of a think about it. since the last update it's just been standing there. was waiting for the seats to get done and for the parts to arrive from abroad.

right now the delay is me being stuck on bedrest.

i greatly appreciate the offer though buddy (Y)

project 1303 is nearing completion:

Spotted these vehicles while i was there. i enjoyed the extra height of the transporter and the rake of the chop top beetle, the lines are so smooth now that you need a double-take to see the changes.

in the last 8 years i've been going to my mechanic i never noticed all the engines and gearboxes lying around till today

The redesigned passenger compartment air intake on the Beetle is really going to mess things up. Air is designed to flow OUT via those vents, and not into the car...

Storm (Storm) 2007-12-03 07:00:00 +0500 #1271

@romano
indeed, but in this day and age of "scoops" i guess someone forgot to mention that to him,.. LOL!

BTW - any suggestions on the 1303?

@Doc, how about this color for the ragtop?

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2007-12-05 17:04:00 +0500 #1273

Or this?

AsadIshaque (AsadIshaque) 2007-12-05 17:05:00 +0500 #1274

Old english white!! I love it! but the other 68 is white, tho a different shade. Fender skirts are cool. would like to make a pair locally.......

AsadIshaque (AsadIshaque) 2007-12-05 17:07:00 +0500 #1275

Now the green orig shade is interesting....olive green i think.

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2007-12-05 17:08:00 +0500 #1276

Or even this?

These are classy uber cool colors!

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2007-12-05 17:10:00 +0500 #1277

Interior would look something like this

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2007-12-05 17:14:00 +0500 #1278

And this is what my next bug will look like!

AsadIshaque (AsadIshaque) 2007-12-05 18:00:00 +0500 #1279

Im really really tempted with the black n red theme. Its in my head these days. This with a red interior n white steering n all would be cool, dont you think?

Anyway this is all 'khiyali pulao' at the moment. Loads of work to do before I can think of paint on the ragtop.

Oh and please refrain from posting pics of Hebmullers....I just might have a wet dream tonight!

@asad & psyb0rg
there are already 2 hotrods planned by pakwheelers at the moment. can't give more details at the moment as they are not my cars.

i love the single window kit on the last one (matte black one), i really want to get this on my 1303 too but i'll have to get it myself as the parts are too fragile to send via mail (specially the glass)
