Hey guys,

Just wanted to post a couple of images of the car I'm picking up on the weekend

I'm super excited and would love to know what you all think!

I'm not a huge fan of the wheels I'll drop 20" or 22" on it later on but for now I'm fine for it to roll on those 18"

It hasn't got any mods, tan leather, 150,000kms on the clock and been garaged for the last 4 months due to the current owner getting a company car I've read through some of the audio forum and seen some cool things (like the 6x9 speak mod in the rear speaker panels) so I will be focusing on audio for now dvd player, splits, amps and subs so keep an eye out for me I'm sure I'll ask some dumb questions along the way!

I'll upload some decent pics when I pick up the car!

You might want to for go the wheels for now, at least until your sure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Even if they have, you could be due for the timing belt replacement again. If not, it's immediate, you are living on borrowed time. Timing belt goes, so does your engine.

Enjoy your new Bug, browse around the Org here and learn all you can about them!
