Hi, I'm Rob and I have been into VW's and specifically Beetles since I was about 10. I finally got around to buying my first (and current) Beetle one in August 2006
Other interests include Morgan Three Wheelers, Rugby and generally having a laugh
'Stella' it a 1966 1300 in Java Green. I bought her from a couple in Warboys with 59,000 on the clock - all stock - although not all original (new wings etc). Prior to that, she has been living just down the road from them owned by a farmer who hardly used it. Structurly she isnt too bad, and since I got her, have only really had to get a few bits replaced - apart from that, it has all been about making her "mine"
1966 Volkswagen Beetle 1300.
1300cc - hopefully something bigger soon :)
Java Green, mostly original, bubbling a bit in a couple of places from previous repairs.
EMPI 5 spokes with 2" narrowed beam, dropped spindles etc
Next thing is fitting a Gene Berg shifter (no more stirring to find gears)
The big project is probably a nice new big engine :) Hopefully a 1776 with dual carbs - oh and I might look at sorting out the doorcards and seat covers at some point
