This is my 99 gl. It was given to me from my aunt. It broke down and sat for about two years until we fixed it. Started driving it around and love this car, couple more months and I will have my drivers license!

Nice! I'm a big fan of black wheels on black beetles.

P.S., those woods look kind of "Squatchy" :)
Thank you! The wheels are actually from a Pt Cruiser and are chrome, I used plasti dip to make them look better until I can get nicer wheels.

Hey, when I head to Brookings in May, for Azalea Festival, I will be driving through Coos Bay! I'd love to meet with you, and take a couple of Glamour Shots! :)
That sounds like fun! I would love to see the bug you're getting!

I'm sure I'll still have my 2002 White 1.8T. :)

My Aunt lives in Coos Bay too, and has a 2002 Black 1.9T, we could have all the engines there an trims levels. :D

Just in case anyone was wondering, my hood flew up on the highway and I got a silver one from the junkyard. Thats all I have for now, thanks for looking!

Ah, crap. I wish you weren't so far away. My black 98 has to go to the scrap yard this week and has a good hood.

That sucks!:(
Long time, no update:p
Black Betty has been doing pretty good! Having some MAF troubles, keyless entry, and wiring issues. But other than that she's been good!:D
The only styling/functional mods I've done since the last update is the strip of plasti dip on the sides of the hood, speakers(front), and I replaced my interior door panel vinyl insert with a non padded one so it won't sag, I will post a picture tomorrow. Thanks for looking!:)

So, since the last update I have got new wheels, removed my old tint (it was bad), and got new speakers. I included some photos of our local car meet also. I finally got a job, so hopefully we can expect more updates!

The new wheels look sharp.
Update: Getting a 12v VR6 engine today that needs a rebuild. I'm gonna rebuild it and swap out the 2.0 this summer or winter hopefully! Really excited to have an even more unique bug soon! Got the VR6 for only $80 and it came with the harness and ECU, I'm just gonna need a rebuilt head, gaskets, exhaust manifold, axles, clutch, and transmission. Very excited!
