It’s sad when people make comments like chassis and number plates not matching. For your information do you know that almost all the VW Bugs chassis and spare parts from 1967 to 1986 can work on earlier or later models from floor pans to quarter panels to rubbers. Basically there are some differences in body, suspension and mechanical parts but with Verne on the job anything is possible. For your information the VW you see is an original German manufactured car with new and used parts from all over Brazil, Miami, Germany, Venezuela, UK and the US (engine is foreign used rebuilt) (NB. nothing from Mexico) the project took Four and a half years to complete and very little cost was spared to restore (tens of thousands) the car. Also, presently I have two more projects in Verne’s Garage on the way a Bus and another VW Bug. Anyhow if you want to view the car you send me a PM. This is a great thread and we should appreciate it very true things I saw on this thread is “ cheap and restoring an old project doesn’t go in the same sentence”
The seats was done by Karim --------- Verne can give the number
The engine was done by Verne’s Garage 6251466 and Solomons Auto 7523751
The body was done by Verne and his Crew
The detailing was done by Verne
The mechanical was done by Verne
The parts was ordered by Verne and Myself
The vision of the project was that of my wife and me
The car is LOVED by all……………………………………..

for all that trouble and expense you could have at least gotten the details correct, tail lights, bumpers, steering etc........I'm just sayin' man

PROJECT NEXT.....A DATSUN!!!







Hoping its a toy...and not a resto...so Bez will have company..

[prelude2madness]

I do appreciate your comments I consider it as constructive criticism but most of those parts match the plates as the newest plates PL, PM, PN, PO, PP, PR, PS and PT some of these came with the same parts as what I have on my car with little differences. There are a few PA* and PB* but those were relicensed and re-registered or imported as returning residence, the old plates are like PA to PK these parts are completely different. However, the specs on my car is almost correct except the dash and steering (foreign used) the tail lights I chose was due to safety of driving as I wanted them to be visible as my wife will be using this as a regular street mobile (original but realistic in this modern day) and the bumpers was used to match the head lights and trunk and fenders, the engine foreign used (fuel injected with AC that’s why I chose that dash and steering, the chassis is original with new floor pans and heater channels, quarter panels front and rear, new doors, trunk, door upholstery. I also upgraded the brakes and suspension to Disc brakes front and new model shocks, new steering box etc, etc. This is the first VW bug I have done and due to my own stubbornness I have wasted a lot of money and time (I didn’t listen to Verne). However, my next two projects will be super cool, wicked, wild and versatile the Bug will be full drag (street legal) and the Bus will be second to none in the Caribbean a little speedy , AC, looks and music………….. And I do intend to back up these words no matter what.

MG man what projects you have up your sleeves……….. Post something nah……
You seem know a lot about bugs why don’t you try your hand with one…….it’s a real fun project.
And now I can help you ……………hehehe

[prelude2madness]

Anyhow fellas, she is not my wife my but she and the car looked fine and I even stopped her a few times and ask her if she was selling and boy was it worth it even though I didn’t get the car to buy......... but talking to her was sure worth it…… (I hope dont read this thread nah)
MG Man there is a guy in felicity with a few antique sunbeams convertible and an MG...... probably you can check him.
Also, if you guys know anybody interested in two Brand Spanking new 1966 and older VW Bug doors tell them to PM me.
Is there any antique shows in December this year?

[MG Man]

yeah I know the guy in felicity
one of the Alpines (blue one) is nice
the other was raped by a horrible abortionist
The Magnette is sweet too
last time I spoke to him he said he was selling out and that the blue alpine was gone already
