Well adding another to the stable, a 1979 Vert. We are the 3rd owners and i have all the reciepts going back to 1982 along with 4 keys, brand new top, bra and various things.

This picture absolutely sucks, will have better ones on monday

Her name is Penelope and this is always one of my favorite pictures to take when i get a new car.

I've never been fond of 79s as they were kind of cheaply built. I also don't really like the silver as I think it is going to be something that will really date the car. Nice find though..,...if your into that sort of thing

I'm guessing April Fools joke cause nobody would brag about picking up a '79 beetle. Ha Ha very funny.

I've heard that they used welds during construction of '79s. Not the best way to go and acutally pretty dangerous.

I personally prefer to pop rivet everything...........

i think i missed it, other than the welding comment why do we hate him?

slammedbus · « **Reply #11 on:** April 02, 2007, 08:19:50 AM »

if we were to link all the inflammatory comments he has made about others and their rides, it will up all the forum space.
He then turns around and hopes everyone will stroke his ego when he has something to post..........aint gonna happen.

Just a couple more of my ugly late car!!!!!!

Mowser · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2007, 08:12:58 PM »

wow it must be really ugly. You wouldn't even take a picture of it's face. Probably for the best

AirCooledRules · « **Reply #15 on:** April 02, 2007, 08:18:40 PM »

nothing wrong with the face, just has some ugly fog lights under the bumper and one H4 and one Sealed beam.

i hope maxx struts are in the plans for that car

AirCooledRules · « **Reply #17 on:** April 02, 2007, 08:47:06 PM »

Im debating keeping it 100 percent stock or just lowering it and throwing on some fuchs and keeping the rest stock.

Or sending the 2 rear wheels out to greens to add 1\" and lowering and keeping the rest stock.

For now, it needs a new muffler/heater boxes, tune up, and gas tank flushed(surprise

).

Was it a local car or from the south? Be a fun ride for the summer! Why change the exhaust the bungie cords give people something to talk about :lol: Also would make for a good speed bump grinder
