Love it! You're the first one here that I've seen with the Classic!

Those seats are awesome, and your sticker shot floored me!

Thanks for joining the Round Crowd, and Welcome to the Org! arty:

Thank you! The interior is what sold me the most and the seats are probably my favorite feature I used true car and was able to get it for $19,507 before taxes, tags and registration!

Love the interior! First classic I've seen.

What else you planning on doing?

Thanks not too many of them out there, they only made 1400 in coupe form with some convertibles coming in a few months. I've got a whole list of things I want to do but will probably keep it simple for now though. White wall inserts will be next, just waiting for them to arrive. I might throw some clear bumper lenses on along with led interior, DRL and license plate lights. Coming from Bi-xenon headlights in my GTI makes the stock halogens a little hard to get used too so I might do something with those as well. Than eventually I want to wrap the headliner, pillars and door panel inserts in a matching terra cotta colored suede or leatherette along with a few other small touches. I'll be saving up for an airlift performance air ride kit as well for later down the road. Here's a few photo chops I did of where I want to go with it...

just got my 14 in Aug love it but now after seeing this kinda wish I waited!!! Very nice!!!:bigthumb: Congrats and welcome but be very careful VW's are very addictive!! Once bitten by the bug...

Thank you! Congrats on your new bug as well! I already suffer from the addiction unfortunately, and this is only going to make it worse

I also found a few pictures of my girlfriends grandfathers bug. Not sure what year it was but that's her grandfather and uncle in the pics.




He passed away about a year before we met so I thought it would be cool to build this as kind of a tribute to him. He named his bug "Vera" so we will continue the legacy and name ours Vera as well

Pulled off the moon caps and did a test run color matching the emblems to the interior. It turned out really good so I'm going to finish the other three tomorrow while the weather is warm.

Haven't checked out your page in a lil bit so I was reading the photoshopped part and was then going to recommend you paint the center caps bc I saw it tonight on vortex and thought it looked so good I wanted to share the info to then scroll down more to find out that was you lol

Haha thanks man, I appreciate it! I've been on vortex for a while since I bought my gti but my username didn't really pertain to the beetle so I created a new more appropriate one for over here haha. Well in case you haven't seen the update over there...
I put them back on the car today, not sure how I feel about them yet but once I get the white walls installed it might look a little better

Picked up a used air ride setup today. Slam XL fronts w/dorbritz swaybar brackets and airhouse II rears with dorbritz D-cups.

Atlas Portawalls finally came in today!
