Good one

An update.

A week ago I broke my passenger side window. Two new windows have been ordered (clear glass) from VW Heritage and should land soon.
i have also ordered new door lock mechanisms so I don't have to slam the doors to shut them.

For the rear windows I have ordered replacements made from lexan. The rear window wiper and spoiler will go, along with the factory glass. For traditional restorers, everything that comes off is getting tagged and boxed and stored in my storage unit.

What next?

1. Carbon fibre bonnet, sunroof blank and tailgate.
2. All molding on doors and guards will be removed, holes filled and resprayed for the shaved look.

My budget is $20-25k. The cost of Lesley was $6.5k, leaving me about $12k to play with.

One hick up I struck today was my wife wants to purchase a late model beetle and expects me to build two cars....oh dear!!

Get a beetle that's already set up the way your wife wants, much easier that way.

Late model as in the New new beetle? What's to build?
Give her the beetle and put your efforts into the mk2!!
