In brief: Hi I am Tammi and I am a 'mahusive' VDub fan. When I was younger I remember seeing all the campers and bugs going to and from the Pod. This is where it started and I always said one day I would own one. Decades later and despite all the mini model beetles, remote control beetles, wooden beetles and basically anything VDub I finally got own of my own - one I can fit in and drive.
Despite my age I only passed my test 5 years ago - I had no need to drive as I used to work at Butlins and Haven holiday parks as I lived and worked on site. My bug is my 4th and best car ever! :-)
History:'Roxy' as she is now known as started her life in 1974 and she was a blue bug. She has been transformed and is now Red. The previous owner had her for about 15 years - think she was a show car.
1974 Volkswagen Beetle 1300.
To be determined :-) Log book states 1500 but I have a receipt for a 1600 engine. So not entirely sure
Black running boards, complete re spray inside and out in 'Rolls Royce Red metalic' from 'VolksDreams', once piece windows, pre 67 wings and Empi 8 wheels.
She's very basic, orginal huge steering wheel (which is cool), quick gear shifter, cream/grey seats with red trim all in good condition, smooth dash and centre console (that might be coming out).
At the moment I have no stereo in her - not even any speakers or wires. My partner is making a new parcel shelf from fibre glass (as the old one was a mess with holes everywhere) - gonna spray this the same colour as 'Roxy' which will look cool, fit it with some speakers and horay I will have music.
Would also like to change the engine to an unleaded engine - possibly a little faster too. :-)
