got to admit, that beetle looks prety good, but i'd look better with all the chrome as it's a dark colour.

it's at the port, asking price is AED 26000/-

Storm (Storm) 2008-02-23 10:35:00 +0500 #1465

@Storm, if u can arrange a sympathetic customs official, I have the money waiting

this one looks like a "final edition" beetle.

This must be somewhere close to the final edition. The final edition also had color coded rims.

Some buggy pics to 'inspire'...

The guy used this home made hydraulic bender.

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2008-02-25 09:59:00 +0500 #1475

Is this a stock twin-carb setup?

The engine code seems like a Gx, which is a 2000cc T2 engine.

A hurriedly typed post:

Two bugs for sale. A 68 and a 69. Both ideal projects for resto. Around 35K demand for each and negotiable. Complete and can be driven after a brake service and minimal freshning up.

Before everyone shouts for pics please let me know if someone is SERIOUSLY interested.

A rare oppurtunity, so anyone dreaming of a good project please let me know.

Regards.

new to this thread. i dont know how i could have missed it. after going through it i came to a point when i was overwhelmed by Storms black beetle. i waould say it is the best beetle there is in pk.

OptimusSS (OptimusSS) 2008-02-28 12:21:00 +0500 #1479

@Storm

If u hav more pics pls post. absolutely lov this car. would want to hav sometings like it definately.

how much time n money did u spend on it? what was the value of the car when u sold it?

Storm (Storm) 2008-02-28 14:46:00 +0500 #1480

@OptimuSS
glad you liked the speedster. that was a great car, it was unfortunate that i sold it but it had to go to make place for another project. it costed me around 1.75 but i sold it for 1.5 which is ok i guess. now it is ruined. a few years ago i saw it and the last owner had welded a ragtop roof to it and killed what little style it had.
