Yup. Still miss mine.

donjalapeno 02-06-2014 10:53 PM

fuck, i love everything about this car...everything is perfect. I don't know how i feel about the civic seats as i like the more old school original look but everything else is spot on.

Lomac 02-06-2014 10:55 PM

Aesthetically, I agree WolfGang. However, the OEM seats have no lateral support and you need at least a bit when it comes to a Beetle with stiff suspension :lol

phantom x 02-06-2014 11:19 PM

Thanx guys !.. But these seats are gonna have a makeover so they will look alot different, and keeping the comfort !

always been a fan of these old school beetles. my wife bought a new beetle tdi which i only like for the mpg. these old ones ive alwaays wanted to have one day and tune them up but i would try to find a 60s or a 50s one. that being said yours is awesome and im sure the money put into it has been a pretty penny.

my uncle has a buddy that is a beetle fanatic and i know hes dumped over 100 grand into his and he also has a ghia with about the same amount in it. as well as a drag beetle that runs in the 9 second range i think. im sure youve heard of him.

One day i'll man up and get one. Maybe I should just ditch the Bimmer now, and use it as my DD :p

white rocket 02-07-2014 09:57 AM

that thing is fcukin' rad!! Reminds me of a friends from high school. Not necessarily the color/style but more the work put into it. I applaud your commitment as VW is such a love/hate relationship. I secretly love the MkI and MkII chassis and will build one eventually. I was the lonely JDM white guy among a sea of VW friends back in the day.
