That's my 1978 vw beetle ! I really love this car!
The first owner was my grandfather, he bought this bettle new, at the local vw dealer in july 1978, near to my house.
So, in 1982 my mother bought the car, and, that always stay in the same family !
In 2003 we decided to keep the bettle in a garage, and, the car was stored there until 2011.
When I was 17 years old (2011), I decided to put the car to run again !
So, that's my car =)
This pictures was when I wash the car immediately after take the car out of the garage. These fog lights was removed.
This picture was when I modified the turn signals.
Later, I bought new 14x5 1/2" steel wheels... Theese wheels are called "SP2 wheels" because that is the wheel of a VW Sp2.
The Volkswagen SP2 was a Brazilian sport car, produced from 1972 to 1976 with 1600 cc air cooled engine.
So, I keep the wheels at the garage, and polish the body ...
And here, My first Vw meeting with my Beetle
So, I installed an auxiliary lamps, Cibié "oscar"
And here, my second meeting with the volks... Te motorcycle beside the beetle is a "Amazonas" with a Vw aircooled engine
