June 1960 Beetle

well this is june. i picked her up this last week. 1960 98% original...complete. pans are shot but everything else looks really good and all is there. plans are 6in beam. drop spindles. new pans all new brakes. drop plates... ragtop graft. and enjoy the p.o. said it was drove to it last resting place and parked bc of the pans beings bad. so im sure she will run. engine looks fairly clean... spins easy, has compression. and oil was clean and level correct. i may just try to trade the 36hp for a good running 1600 but not sure yet.

Nice looks like a great car

Can't wait to see this one on the road.

thanks and tim i cant wait to see it in ur shop...lol cant wait to see it on the ground

pans pretty much cleared out

really nice!

heater channels ok?

Let me know when you're ready.

just noticed i have the same washer pump installed on mine minus the dishwashing bottle

I guess tht was a dealer accessory. Any idea where the car was originally sold?

the dishwasher bottle is awesome..haha and not sure. i found the last reg. paper in the glovebox. 1989... in dawsonville ga.

and will do tim.

where did you find it

some fellow vw-er on here heard i was looking for a project gave me a phone # lol it was picked up from dawsonville ga. he also has a complete manx style buggy asking $1000 (dident look at it). and i saw a cool 70's bay. looked like 73 or newer. very good shape body wise... factory ac. and automatic. no motor and i beleive he said he'd take 700. has alot of el camino... corvairs and cool toys just sitting.

Looks nice!!

thanks digger. i just cant wait to get this one on the road... gah i miss being in a vw.

i thought that was the car i mp u about . so it turned out to be what you wanted thats good he called me off a add i have on craigslist. because i said i would trade on a early vw. thats good that u got it.

yeah thanks man. it was exactly what i was looking for.

Well, I had to bend my neck to view the pics, but it was worth it.

Looks like a great project car. Best of luck to you.

lets see ive been working hard and gettin parts when i have time. works been killin me w the 70-80hrs a week but the freetime i do find ive been in my garage... pulled the tranny out and cleaned it. put all new seals on it. fresh fluid and clearenced the bellhousing along w new mounts. got my pans and heater channel bottom repair plates. i got the driver side repair pate welded in along with the driver pan half welded in. rebuilt my pedal assembly. cleaned and sealed my gastank. cleaned and painted my drums... ordered all new brakes. cyls, lines, ect... along with some wheel adapters for the fuchs i picked up hopefully by the end of the week ill have both pans in, sealed up, all the brakes lines ran and cyls hooked up. tranny in. then i can focus on getting my wheels blasted, tires, drop plates, 6in beam, flipped spindles. then that sould leave me with figuring out witch way i want to go w my motor.

Wow, sounds like you'll be ready for BAP

i hope so. but even if i get done in time im pretty positive work wont allow me to be off. work sucks...lol

got my heater channel bottom repair plates along w pans in. all sealed up top and bottom. tranny back in and everything hooked up. new seat belts installed. brake lines ran wheel cly installed. drums cleaned and painted. waiting on new brake shoes so i can assemble and finish up the brakes. getting a little closer lol.
