Schweet ride! I like the paint and wheels. Looks like a lot of love went into this one!

I don't know about anyone else, but you need to post a WHOLE lot more pics of this baby. Absolutely gorgeous! Get the whole 360degree shot and interior, front/back, etc. Even if you're still working on it, you should show it. Looks great!

Awesome. I see it's a Euro beetle too. What ever you do, DON'T get rid of the semaphore turnsignals in the door pilar. They MAKE the car.
