i inherited this STD. 74 beetle. long story short my cousin passed away with cancer and was a huge gear monkey. they sold there house and everything had to go. so i got this givin to me. and its awesome !

plans are just a summer time cruiser at the moment. then paint and interior etc.
so far got a new harness, stock wheels widened, high back seats. just gonna slam it and enjoy it. anyways time for pics, because everyone loves pictures.
