My 1970 Beetle refresh-slowmo
« on: August 03, 2011, 06:33:45 PM »
Well im as some now in an Aircooler....
so far new starter, new plugs, new fuel sender, new custom Led stop/tail and rear Led indicators.

Today fitted new chromed exhaust tips and Empi pancake airfilter.


Plan so far to tidy surface rust up and repaint the old girl lower the front a bit and what ever comes along.

There's a company nere in Aus who are doing LED driving lights in the little vents.  They also do LED brake lights and stuff.  Pretty cool
