Well here is my newest Beetle

here is the trunk, No rust except for the spare tire tray due to newspaper being folded on the bottom for 30 years.


Ribbed doors

Engine is a 1958, runs like a top, had a new exhaust bought at VW in the 70's, Single tip exhaust, and new heaterducks!

Rear apron, is a little smushed due to a caddy gettin mad, but totally savagable and notice the solid no cutouts, All pre-55 beetles have this.

Original key in the glove box,

Original running boards in great shape still, just need recovering.

Has a perfect hole in the ds fender, (does anyone know of a std rear fender mounted mirror?)

Picts soon to follow of the interior!

every nut and bolt is orig, and the seals are truly different from and made out there! I have always known about certain things regarding STD canadian beetles but seeing one so untouched is awsome!
Cheers
