Slim..... My new 63 gotta love ruby---red.......

Well I finely talked one of my dads friends into letting me get his old bug going. So last Thursday me and my buddy will loaded up and headed south to Warnerrobbins Ga to pull a car out of storage where it sat for 12 years with out the door of the unit being opened. So we get there and open the door and we thinking the worst. But we were shocked. Sitting in that unit was a 1963 bug with a bunch of bad ass cal look goodies on it. A cb selecta drop beam put on in 1986. "The last year the car was driven on the street"
So after bringing it home I struck a deal with the owner. He owned it for 28 yrs and got it from the Og owner

Nice! It has a cool look to it.

Best thing about it. No rust lol.
Og 40horse still six volt

looking good

Nice score.

Looks a lot like my first "Driver" Beetle

You're driving it on the same rubber that was in on it in '86 when they parked it?!

If the tag is good enough, why not the tires??
(looks good by the way)

That's cool Tater

They were brand new. Lol. I changed to 205 65s on the back

nice

Well got new wheel cylinders on Enos yesterday and bolted some running boards on
Today I pulled the tank and started bringing back the og ruby red sexiness. Gotta love a mini da with 1500 grit paper. Its working great.

That's cool to see the red peeking through again
