'67 Beetle Full Restoration
« on: February 09, 2010, 09:57:50 AM »
New to the site and in search of some guidance on restoring my '67 Beetle.  I'm looking for someone capable of doing a pan-off custom (lowered front-end, shaved turn signals, updated interior, 1776/1835 cc engine) restoration that will turn heads.  The car was fully restored in 1994v(everything is stock except for interior mods), but has been sitting for the last 10 years.  Very little rust.  Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

honest recomendation (coming from a watercooled kid..lol) dont do it to a 67. the value will be in the origionality. there is alot of unique in that car, hot rod another, or atleast dont do anything thats not reverse-able

with that said, welcome! and have at her. i dont really know any full on resto shops like what your describing but im sure some one will pipe up

well I know of some very cool 67's with mods and they do turn heads. You could try talking to Tony at German Autowerks and he might be of some help. Its tough because a good stock car is hard to find, but some of the mods you talk about could be really fun and cool.
Good luck.
