One step closer

It's looking like a car again.

New location

Working on the car again!

Silent

Afther a few months of nothing, an update!
Since I was frustrated about all the little things that were wrong with my beetle I made the next step into making it good enough for my standards.

Which one?

What do you think?

Lack of updates

Working on my beetle's interior!

My beetle is alive!

My car update

Still need to fix my left headlight but it's getting there :)

Also fixed my bonnet/hood since it was to low on the car.
On the last photo you can see how it sits now.

Classic vs TMI

TMI makes new interior kits for the classic beetle.
I'm rebuilding my interior and there is a huge difference between TMI and OEM.

New vs 52 years old:

My car update

Thanks to my new camera+ app I finally can take some good photo's with my iPhone 4 :)

New colour

I'm almost done transforming my beetle to my taste.

final colour

since a few hours ago the paint has dried.

Rat-ish

Since there aren't any updates....I'll show you why :)
