I didn't want to hijack the engine painting thread so here goes-- the year was '76



This is my friends AAR Cuda can't remember what year the car was 70 or 71.We were at a small local dragstrip,and thats me in front.My VW and I came home that day with a trophy,he came home with nothing.Wish I bought that car now.

Gary, awesome man!
I especially like the '68 Baja bug and the '55. Any plans of restoring that little beauty in the future?

Over here the Beetle is still a very popular car with quite a few clubs. Every year there is a big VW reunion on the market place in the town next to ours... Definitly some real beauties to see there.

Kristof, unfortunately it's long gone.Now days your better to buy one that someone else spent all the money to restore.I don't follow the VW scene anymore but I know Europe is a hot bed of activity for VW's.That one was an European model,it had the semifores in the door posts,which the US ones did not.
Here is the last car I ever did,it kind of cured me
