Re: My new project - VW Beetle 1960 Convertible
Hi Islam,
Can't wait to see your finished product. Loving all the pictures.
I'll try and find some pics of my Cambodian Beetle 1967 which had a bullet hole through the front hood from the war time. I adopted it in Phnom Penh in 1994 and found the bullet in the glove compartment... but lost it since then (the bullet). Bought all the engine parts in Bangkok, re-did the interior and installed an A/C. I sold my Beetle when I moved to Dubai a year and a half ago (crying now). Big big mistake...
More pics please....

Re: My new project - VW Beetle 1960 Convertible
I am on the final stage now ... all parts arrived ... everything is restored ... Maybe within 2-3 weeks, the car should be ready.
I also ordered an Air cooled A/C which is the only remaining part ... But will finish the car and then can install the A/C later.
Here are some pics from my last visit in June

Nice wheels, and I like the Porsche Stuttgart centre caps.
Would like to see the rest of the Hitler car when it's done.

Too slow in progress.

New set of tires done
Seats and carpets ready
Power windows kit is back ordered (Will arrive on 3rd of Oct.)
Currently finalizing the electrical work
No new pics available ... I wish I could finish it by Oct so I can enjoy it in my next holiday in Nov.

What are costs involved in renovating this?
I only ask this because my first car was beetle (saloon) and i only changed the engine and gear box with toyota corolla 1.6 16valve (1996-1997) model and bigger tyres and i loved it.
I still have a thing for beetle but would like to know the details before i get myself into something.

My new project - VW Beetle 1960 Convertible
Mubz ... The car is restored in Egypt not in UAE ... I am using the best brands in my car and changing every single screw ... So my cost is very high .... Till now I reached AED 70k ... Don't forget that I have to pay 20% customs on all imported parts ... And a convertible is more expensive to restore than the saloon
