my new quest! 1963 beetle aka Mabeline

after finding out that the mazda truck i got is a POS. we are on the way to trade it for a 63 bug. it looks fairly solid body-wise. no pans and the engine is locked up. other than that it is a pretty neat car. i hope to fix it up and have a daily driver. maybe teach my old lady how to drive a stick shift! lol

daily aircooled :thumbsup:

id like to find a notch to daily

we need pics!

told u not to get that dumb mazda but u got something good out of it

ill get pics of her tomorrow.

We still don't have any pics of this Mabeline

always fun. I still use my daily driver square. Freshly repainted and still rolling along great. Can't beat a daily driver air cooled. Good luck with it, can't wait to see pictures

SO, now Mabeline is Mine. I traded my 91 Jetta to Drew for it. I'm stoked about having another small window car. Can't wait to get started on her. Now I need to get those pics posted that Drew never did...

here is the only one I was able to upload

sweet

Now lets get it on the road. Put together your parts list and lets see if we can help.

if i dont sell my 69 tomorrow i wanna do a body swap then go from there

Looks like a good start! Anything I got to help out and its yours.

I got more pics for you guys and gals

Time to change your signature!

Where did the name Mabeline come from??? I expected something in Lipstick Red?

TIM B ER!!!!!

Well, that is just what Drew had already named her, and it just stuck.

You gonna need a deck lid for good ol Mabeline? I know a dude that might have one sitting in his garage. Lol!

I got the original one in my basement. I will need to do repair to one of the hinges on it

Now that Elke is no longer mine, I can concentrate on this old girl.

Ok, so I'm planning on doing the body swap and get this old girl up and running in 2 weeks. Anybody that would like to come by and help/hangout for a day at the BKR shop is more than welcome. 2-19-2011 hope to get started early because I got a lot to do. PM me for my address.
