1966 Beetle Stage 2

In getting the pan restored the front beam was rusted beyond repair. Lucky for me I still had the remains of my Ghia that was totaled and it had a perfect beam on it so the transformation begins.

WOW this is an old tread. I've been very busy and honestly just forgot about this site. My 66 is finished but took a very different turn during the restoration. Here are a few pics.
