As most of you know, I am currently restoring my '73 std bug.  Here are the lastest updated pictures.  I have installed new rear wheel bearings, seals, brake hoses, complete new steel brake lines, e-brake cables, clutch and accelerator cables.

Very clean! It'll be nice riding around knowing how correct and sure everthing under you is. Is the copper looking line (furthest in the rear) the fuel line? If so, is it enclosed the whole length of the car? Remember, I'm a newborn VW baby. It really looks nice.

Yes, that's the line I was talking about. Thanks.

Thought I would add a few pics of what I've been up to.  I am 90% done with the pan.  I am as done as I can be now I should say.  It's onto the body now.  It is fairly inexpensive to work with and will keep me busy probably until spring.  I had a few rusted through spots on the rear quarter that I cut patch panels out of a donor body and welded into my body (keep those thoughts to yourself Fred!).  I also was able to get one of the boomerang holes closed up also (the cause of the rust).






Here's a look at my clutter box.

Steady progress-I wish I could accomplish that. Have you decided on a color yet?

They both look good. Maybe you could combine the two and do a two-tone tangerine and white (like a Creamsicle). I think the whitewalls do as much as anything for those two cars. They're a must-have in my opinion. When do you think you'll have it on the road?

The whitewalls in my mind are a definite.  I haven't thought about your Creamsicle idea, but I will now.  I'll have to find a picture of someone's car in those colors and study it.

I think we have that issue here.
