Tico's 2004 NBC "PEPPER"

[Tico4Life]

I figure its about time I start a thread on her so I can share with you guys and keep track of her changes over time. Besides I have seeing very encouraging threads from Al and his always good looking (and clean) CUP and PG's Turbo S.

So here it is:

How we found her:



The day she came home



First ride with the top down, wings are up and display is beeping like crazy but the weather is great





Our spacious trunk



New shoes, her toes were showing due to dry rot

About time! The family looks like they are having a blast in that vert. Nice color.

She gave us a very nice surprise yesterday afternoon, she was a good girl and put her flaps down for us
Had to go run some errands and we ended up just driving aimlessly for a good couple of hrs. My wife was so happy I think she'll be finally joining the org, after almost begging her to do it it only took a single ride with the top down
She was so exited to get compliments every where we went, girls were shouting "I love your car" from the sidewalk as we drove past. saw people punching each other (I thought that was funny) and others just giving us smiles. We didn't want to go back home and the weird thing is the few times we drove her in the winter months we got nothing




Here is a cool pic I took with my real camera thru the front door. After a wash and wax I'll take some better pics of her.

Oh, I like that "Live, Laugh and Love" -pic much

Very good

Tico! That is one good looking red ride! I've been waiting a long time to see this post! Perfect choice in tires too. Cost a bit more, but are worth every penny!!!

Thanks every one for the comments, I was hoping to get her cleaned up today to take some more pics, but after putting her up on jack stands to take out her wheels so I could check wheel bearings I had to clean my neighbor's yard and get it ready to mow it (older couple I take care of their spring cleaning and lawn). Then I had to take my oldest boy out to teach him to skate board (he got a skate board as a birthday present this week) and now we are getting ready to take them to the movies, so, no play time for me I'll shoot some new pics next week.

I know, I guess some of you were starting to doubt I actually had a Beetle and as far as the TS, it is still in the works. Just waiting for the right one to show up

[Tico4Life]

Couple of thrifty little add ons that have made us very happy

CD player= free


Brand new CD changer= $39 thanx ECS


Molded floor mat set= $20 Thanx ECS

[Opelmania]

Looking good J. plus a great deal from PG's favorite vendor. Do you have the hub and bearing set up to get fixed yet?

[Tico4Life]

Hahaha, PG does not talk to me anymore because of me buying from ECS, in fact I suspect he blocked me from his contacts lol.

I ordered the parts, see if I can get'r done this weekend.

[MyOtherRidesAVette]

I see you haven't got the little cubby (coin holder) for below the CD Changer. Slacker! I haven't, because I'm going to change to a trunk mount for security reasons and the ability to load spare mags with CDs.
